Discount for Boing Boing readers! Jeffrey says:

I'm a Boing Boing reader, and I'm a projectionist at the Pioneer Theater that is screening the Hubert Selby Jr. doc. If any Boing Boing reader comes in and mentions Boing Boing that they read about the movie on Boing Boing, we'll give them discounted admission ($6.50).
