Advance Notice. Last Remaining Seats.

With film programs like The Cinefamily and the American Cinemathque, Angelenos have regular chances to check out screenings of older movies on the big screens. But the Los Angeles Conservancy's own film program Last Remaining Seats is something more special and unique: allowing audiences to watch older movies in big, beautiful theaters, the types of venues these movies were originally for.

It's been 25 years since the Conservancy began doing these screenings, as "a way draw attention to the historic movie palaces of downtown Los Angeles, many of which were underused and in need of restoration." Today, these theaters include the Los Angeles Theatre, Million Dollar Theater, Orpheum Theatre and Palace Theatre, all wonderful marvels of dramatic and historical architecture. They're really something to see in person.

And Last Remaining Seats, happening Wednesdays from May 25-June 29, is offering a great lineup of films, too: from Rear Window to The Music Man to Sunset Boulevard. Tickets are $20 each, and go on sale on Wednesday, April 13 at 10am. That is, unless you're a Los Angeles Conservancy member, which means you can buy tickets now for $16 each, and be donating to a great Los Angeles cause. Find out more info here.

Do It. We Are Plastic Ono Band at the Orpheum.

All right, say what you will about Yoko Ono and her relationship to the Beatles. Or her crazy performance art. Or just her crazy self. But the woman undeniably is a machine, never letting you once forget that John Lennon was a cool dude (duh) and like, there should be peace and stuff (double duh).

And hell, does she have star power. Take, for example, the We Are Plastic Ono Band concert she's put together this weekend. Not only does We Are Plastic Ono Band already comprise of her and her son Sean Ono Lennon, but the shows (over two days) will also feature guest appearances by Lady Gaga, Thurston Moore, Kim Gordon, Iggy Pop, The RZA, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Perry Ferrell, Vincent Gallo, Carrie Fisher and more.

You can't deny that this is going to be one crazy show. You're all for peace, right?

The We Are Plastic Ono Band shows are taking place over two days, Oct. 1st and 2nd, at the Orpheum Theatre, located at 842 S. Broadway in downtown. Tickets are $60-$150 for each day, and check here for more details on who's appearing on each day.

**And in case you want some more Yoko Ono, she'll be appearing this Sunday at the Grammy Museum in promotion of the new John Lennon exhibit opening next week.
