Saturday Happenings

Today's Happenings post sadly features a lot of things that aren't happening. Rain has canceled or postponed the JP World's Fair, FensFest, and La Grande Fête, the Union Square Haitian festival. The Somerville Greek Festival and the Harvard Square Bookish Ball have not posted weather-related updates, so your guess is as good as ours. Luckily, there are a few indoor events worth going to.

Tom Baker

For those who can't get enough classic Doctor Who, the Brattle presents the fourth installment of its Hooked on Who series. Today, the theater presents two separate screenings, each featuring the best-known of the classic Doctors, Tom Baker (and his trusty robot dog, K-9). Brattle Theatre, 40 Brattle St., Cambridge. More details.

Movies

Frankenstein (1931) and Bride of Frankenstein (1935) helped to establish the monster-horror formula that Universal Studios would beat into submission over the course of the 1930s. Director James Whale, the subject of an ongoing HFA retrospective, may have been taking potshots at bourgeois and heterosexual norms when he made these films, and their sexual ambiguity and German expressionist filmic vocabulary makes them his masterpieces. Harvard Film Archive, Carpenter Center, 24 Quincy St., Cambridge, 7 p.m. $8/$6.

Dancing Hipsters

JP's Shake 'Em Down dance party is always a good bet. DJs Ghostdad, and Knife are among the best in the Hub at getting the people in the tapered jeans moving, and tonight's installment features a video set from DJ RNDM. Milky Way, 284 Amory St., Jamaica Plain, 9 p.m. Free.

Gender Bending

Boston native and transgendered cabaret performer Johnny Blazes presents the wo(n)man show, a one person variety show that explores Blazes's transgendered identity and society's threats against it with levity and absurdity. Machine, 1254 Boyston St., 8 p.m. (through September 19). $10.
