The film is being screened as part of a short Bond series co-presented with the British Academy of Film and Television.
With the Bond franchise in limbo due to a likely bankruptcy at MGM, this will be one of the few opportunities to see Bond on the big screen in for a while (at least until the next Bond revival). [by Micah Sachs]

Screening Room: James Bond fest at the Aero
Other film events: Egyptian Theatre's Stanley Kubrick tribute, Cinema Speakeasy short film workshop and more.

Screenwriter-director Tom Mankiewicz, who died in July of cancer, is being honored Thursday evening at the American Cinematheque's Aero Theatre with screenings of two of the Roger Moore James Bond films he wrote: 1973's "Live and Let Die," which marked Moore's first outing as 007, and 1974's "The Man With the Golden Gun," which Mankiewicz co-penned with Richard Maibaum.
And on Wednesday, the Aero welcomes George Lazenby, who played Bond only one time, in 1969's "On Her Majesty's Secret Service." He'll discuss the film following a screening.
Egyptian salutes Kubrick
While the Aero gets its Bond on, the Cinematheque's Egyptian Theatre celebrates the legacy of iconoclast Stanley Kubrick. The series kicks off Wednesday with his powerful 1957 anti-war film, "Paths of Glory" starring Kirk Douglas, George Macready, Adolphe Menjou and Ralph Meeker, along with the exceptional 1956 heist film "The Killing," starring Sterling Hayden and Coleen Gray. A double feature of 1971's "A Clockwork Orange" and 1987's "Full Metal Jacket" concludes the tribute Saturday. http://www.americancinematheque.com
Film workshop
The Cinema Speakeasy short film workshop visits the Echo Park Film Center on Tuesday night. Filmmakers get the opportunity to show their movies, which must be between five and 15 minutes long, and hear a group critique about the strengths and weaknesses of their work. http://www.cinemaspeakeasy.com.
ArcLight documentary night
The ArcLight Hollywood is presenting a rare screening of the 1958 documentary "Windjammer" on Sunday. Produced by Louis De Rochemont and directed by Bill Colleran and Louis De Rochemont III, the film chronicles the 17,500-nautical mile journey of the Norwegian sail Windjammer training ship, Christian Radich. It was the only film shot in the widescreen Cinemiracle process, which was a rival of Cinerama. "Windjammer" will be shown in digitally remastered high-definition at the Cinerama Dome. http://www.arclightcinemas.com
3-D screenings
Film historian and preservationist Serge Bromberg of Lobster Films will present an evening of 3-D movie rarities Tuesday at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' Linwood Dunn Theater. Among the films screening is the 3-D version of the Lumière brothers' 1896 "Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat," which they re-shot in 3-D in 1935. Bromberg will provide his own commentary and piano accompaniment to the silent films. http://www.oscars.org.

Re: George Lazenby at Aero Theatre in Santa Monica
Movie theaters used to do more of the old films, I'd love ot take my kid to see on teh big screen some of the movies I grew up with.
Chief of Staff, 007's gone round the bend. Says someone's been trying to feed him a poisoned banana. Fellow's lost his nerve. Been in the hospital too long. Better call him home.
