Last year's <em>Casino Royale</em> was a mighty relaunch for the fabled franchise, but purists agree that Sean Connery is still the quintessential Bond. The Music Box gets back to 007's roots with his first four films &mdash; <em>Dr. No, From Russia with Love, Goldfinger</em>, and <em>Thunderball</em>. The plot hasn't changed much over the years: a bad guy tries to take over, the British government sends 007 to stop him, and Bond meets a babe while saving the world in style.</p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.flavorpill.net/~f/flavorpill/chi?a=zPX64H"><img src="http://feeds.flavorpill.net/~f/flavorpill/chi?i=zPX64H" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.flavorpill.net/~f/flavorpill/chi?a=MSg50H"><img src="http://feeds.flavorpill.net/~f/flavorpill/chi?i=MSg50H" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.flavorpill.net/~r/flavorpill/chi/~4/287873214" height="1" width="1"/> http://flavorpill.com/chicago/events/2008/5/11/james-bond-festival tag:flavorpill.com,:Event/5769 2008-02-22T16:25:39Z 2008-05-05T21:00:55Z Suzanne Niemoth <p><a href="http://flavorpill.com/chicago/events/2008/5/11/mommie-dearest-1981" class="thumb"><img alt="&lt;em&gt;Mommie Dearest&lt;/em&gt;" src="http://flavorpill.com/attachment_image_files/0007/4595/mommiedearest_1_event_browse.jpg" /></a></p><p><p>Sunday May 11 (3pm)</p> @ Music Box Theatre, 3733 N Southport Ave</p><p>Based on the scandalous tell-all memoir by Joan Crawford's daughter, <em>Mommie Dearest</em> is an enduring camp classic, thanks in no small part to Faye Dunaway's unhinged performance as the psycopathic, ultra-competitive mother-from-hell. This afternoon, celebrate Mothers' Day with an interactive screening of the film, in all its shrieking, hilarious, and creepy glory. Arrive early for a pre-show hosted by <a href="http://www.dickoday.com/">Dick O' Day</a> and featuring a Crawford look-alike contest, prizes, and a performance by the sultry, Crawford-obsessed new-wave quartet, the <a href="http://www.myspace.com/thejoansband">Joans</a>. Bring your darling mother &mdash; but leave the wire hangers at home.</p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.flavorpill.net/~f/flavorpill/chi?a=QfftTH"><img src="http://feeds.flavorpill.net/~f/flavorpill/chi?i=QfftTH" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.flavorpill.net/~f/flavorpill/chi?a=Dpoy7H"><img src="http://feeds.flavorpill.net/~f/flavorpill/chi?i=Dpoy7H" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.flavorpill.net/~r/flavorpill/chi/~4/287873215" height="1" width="1"/> http://flavorpill.com/chicago/events/2008/5/11/mommie-dearest-1981
