It’s a glittery tale of two wild and crazy guys — a loud, funny and scattered flashback to a time when glamour and sexuality sold as many records as the music itself. Velvet Goldmine is director Todd Haynes’ paean to glam rock, Citizen Kane and Oscar Wilde, and it ping-pongs between all that source material via characters Brian Slade and Curt Wild. The two men, played by Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Ewan McGregor respectively, are over-the-top rock stars with characteristics plucked from biographies and gossip columns written about David Bowie, Marc Bolan, Lou Reed, Iggy Pop and any other 1970s glam rock figurehead you can think of. Get your platforms ready and come bearing glitter: CineWilde will screen the film in 35mm at 8 p.m. Friday. The Texas Theatre, 231 W. Jefferson Blvd., will play host for the evening, which concludes with an after party that will satiate your lust for life. Performances by ZHORA, Ethereal, The Queer Show, TEEN SLUT, PseudoQueen and DJs Gabriel and Travis Box will commence when the credits roll. Tickets are $10 to $18 at thetexastheatre.com.
