SUPERGOOD
FILM – 22
Filmmaker Greg Mottola will be spending Sunday at the DGA Theater (110 W. 57th St.) for the unreeling of three of his movies: the quirky 1996 indie “Daytrippers”, the raunchy 2007 Hollywood blockbuster “Superbad” and the soon-to-be released “Adventureland” (2009). Mottola, who also has done extensive work in TV, will be joined by actors (Liev Schreiber, Kevin Corrigan) from his movies for a Q&A after each screening. The program is sponsored by the Museum of the Moving Image, whose home in Astoria, Queens, is being renovated. Details: movingimage.us.
WOOLLY BULLY!
PREHISTORIC – 21
Anyone can buy an old painting to hang over the fireplace, but how about a prehistoric woolly mammoth tusk? Anyone with about $40,000 to spare can bid on such things tomorrow at the Natural History Auction. In fact, why not buy a whole woolly mammoth for about $100,000? Are you more of a reptile fan? A 9-foot-long Jurassic-era dinosaur skeleton will also be on the block, and it’s expected to fetch half a million bucks. There will also be meteors, moon rocks and nearly 250 other rarities, which are on display today from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and up for bidding tomorrow at 1 p.m. Attendance is free at the I.M. Chait Gallery, 267 Fifth Ave., at 29th Street; 800-775-5020. For more information, go to chait.com.
MISERY LOVES COMPANY
MUSIC – 21
Is it ironic that mope-rocker Morrissey’s fans are downright giddy these days? This is because the former Smiths frontman is performing three times in Manhattan this week. In support of his new album, “Years of Refusal,” Morrissey gets things started at Bowery Ballroom tomorrow at 8 p.m. before playing at Webster Hall on Wednesday and Carnegie Hall on Thursday. Tickets are $75 for tomorrow’s show, but they won’t be easy to find. If nothing else, Morrissey fans know life is filled with despair. Try your luck for tomorrow’s concert at 6 Delancey St.; 212-533-2111, boweryballroom.com.
MEXICO A-GO-GO!
MUSIC – 20
Fire up the band, and we’re talking about just any old band. The Mexico Tourism Board is bringing spring break to the Metropolitan Museum of Art when the Grammy winning band Mariachi los Camperos and its leader, Natividad “Nati” Cano, get this fiesta started tonight at 8. While mariachi fans have known this band for nearly half a century, pop fans came to know them in 1987 when they started recording and touring with Linda Ronstadt. Tickets are $50 at the Met’s Grace Rainey Rogers Auditorium, 1000 Fifth Ave., at 82nd Street; 212-535-7710.
PLAYING IT COOL
JAZZ – 20
