The Texas Theatre is showing a 35-mm print of Stanley Kubrick’s Full Metal Jacket all weekend. Iceberg Slim: Portrait of a Pimp screens Friday and Saturday. Joshua Oppenheimer’s documentary “The Act of Killing” (trailer below) screens for one show only, at 3:30 p.m. Saturday.

That makes for a pretty heavy line-up, but then Mr. Rid presents “scaraoke” at 10 p.m. Saturday.
