Seeing afternoon movies at the well-grimed rock spot the Brick (1727 McGee, 816-421-1634) feels a little like when your parents let you
have breakfast for dinner because they were poor or fighting or something. Today's absurdist afternoon treats begin at 2 p.m. with the comedic videos of Stuck in a Straightjacket, the local troop credited with having coined the term "sun-baked, sore-infested werewolf pussy." Next, groove to the video magic of
Vamos, who mates the choicest indie tunes with dazzling — and unsettling — found footage. Finally, at 3 p.m., there's a too-rare screening of Ty Jones' local feature Last Breath, fresh off its appearance in the Dances With Films festival in Los Angeles. See it all for a mere $5.— Alan Scherstuhl Sat., Aug. 21, 2 p.m., 2010
