Steve McQueen was just 28 and at the start of what would be a very long acting career when he got his first starring role as a teenager named Steve who has an unfortunate run-in with the titular menace in  The Blob . It's the very definition of a cult classic, and it's screening tonight at 7:30 p.m. as part of the  The Fantastic Faraoni Film Festival  at Riverviews Artspace (901 Jefferson St.). Sci-fi cinema expert Ken Faraoni hosts the event, introduces the screening, and facilitates some conversating about the film. It's free; call (434) 847-7277 for more info.
