can't say for sure, but this midnight horror at Cinefamily on the 11th might be appealing:

What is the capacity of that place?
Also, I should go to both Getty branches, right?

cinefamily holds a couple hundred or so i think?

i haven't been to the getty villa, but the getty on the 405 is lovely.
― Neil Patrick Haggerty (get bent), Tuesday, 1 July 2014 19:37 (ten years ago) link
The Villa is also nice, but visit before Europe reclaims all its plundered antiquities.
― nickn, Tuesday, 1 July 2014 22:52 (ten years ago) link
both nice, but if you have time for only one, see the 405.

also am i sposed to get only a martini at Musso & Franks, or a steak as well?
― son of a lewd monk (Dr Morbius), Saturday, 5 July 2014 02:46 (ten years ago) link
both iirc
and Cinefamily definitely holds a few hundred - if you get there early enough, though, you can get a sofa in the front, not just a regular seat
(a couple of times last year I was non-early enough to end up on a folding stool in the aisle)

I didn’t go to Groundlings (or IO West) on my passes through Hollywood last year (saw big queues outside the Groundlings though), but looking at stuff this week: there’s Paul F Tompkins’ monthly Varietopia show at Largo on Saturday night, Reid Scott off of Veep appearing at a current-affairs-comedy-quiz-show at Meltdown, Wil Anderson & Dan Harmon & Sam Simmons & Moshe Kasher at a Prompter show at UCB, Marc Maron doing both rooms at the Store, and I would have gone to The Smartest Man In The World free at Bar Lubitsch on Tuesday night.

Excuse my street team pr for a friend's movie:
August 147:30 p.m.The Silent Movie Theater611 N. Fairfax AvenueLos Angeles, CA 90036
Hosted by: Don’t Knock the Rock
Master documentarian Jeff Krulik will make his magnificent return to Los Angeles with his latest blockbuster, Led Zeppelin Played Here, which digs deep into the mystery of the classic rock group playing a micro-venue in Maryland. Did the band really play? Or is the tale just a hallucinogenic myth conjured up by pranksters?
Krulik will be in attendance and will participate in a post-screening Q&A session hosted by musican and actor Michael Des Barres.
