McSWEENEY'S #35 LAUNCH PARTY: Plan on a whole mess of interesting things to read. Plus, a stop-by by Ellie Kemper of "The Office," who happens to be a McSweeney's contributor. Plus, other literature-ish liveliness. The Echo Park Time Travel Mart, 8 p.m. Free
"THE SHINING": Another in the Facebookers-chose-it series going on now at the ArcLights. The Overlook's snowy exteriors might be perfect for a late July night, if you can handle the whole Wendy-walking-up-to-the-typewriter scene. ArcLight Hollywood, 8 p.m.
"THE STRANGER": Orson Welles is behind and in front of the camera for this noir gem. "Oceans Eleven" screenwriter Ted Griffin will chat about the film. Get a seat at this summer series at the Academy before it wraps in a few weeks. 7 p.m.
