Happy 420

In honour of 4-20, le Ritz will be screening the 1998 Dave Chappelle flick Half Baked. Ordering pizza is allowed — encouraged, even — so make sure you show up with a good case of the munchies. 179 Jean-Talon W., 8 p.m., $1–$5 suggested

Head to Foufs for this month’s edition of Beaux Dégâts, with six teams of artists in a live painting showdown where the audience can vote for their favourite team with their empty beer cans, plus a special performance by Ottawa producer Talk$ins and MC Cruz. 87 Ste-Catherine E., 8 p.m., $5

Dollar Cinema is screening Stanley Kubrick’s stone-cold classic A Clockwork Orange, which is well worth seeing on the big screen. Watch a crazy one-minute trailer for the film here. 6900 Decarie Square, 8:30 p.m., $5

Tonight at Casa del Popolo, the Howl! Arts Festival presents a concert to launch a new EP by New York’s Ras Moshe and local Stefan Christoff, performing in duet and quartet with Sam Shalabi, Jonah Fortune and Martin Heslop.

Experimental electro/rock band Suuns launch their new record Hold/Still at la Tulipe, with openers Lungbutter. See our interview with the band here. 4530 Papineau, 9 p.m., $17/$20

Described as “a multi-sensory world,” Le Cauchemar merveilleux adapts poems by French singer-songwriter Arthur H into a big-screen spectacle — very big screen, enough to project inside the Satosphere’s 360-degree dome — with sound composition by Léonore Mercier and Maxence Mercier’s visuals. The film screens at SAT through May 13. 1201 St-Laurent, 7 p.m., $20.50
