Went to see SATC (AKA movie that must not be named) sat early about 20 min before the movie started and it was about 60% full. <BR/><BR/>In the middle of the aisle towards the back two kids are actually having sex. Police got them out of there. <BR/><BR/>Gonna need a black light to select a seat from now on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23243255.post-14707858257718844692008-06-03T14:44:00.000-05:002008-06-03T14:44:00.000-05:00I seriously want to operate that theater (the underground one). It's just sitting there bringing in zero revenue for that building. They should give it to me rent free and I can get some investors to pay for renovations. <BR/><BR/>We could have midnight showings of the Big Lebowski every week.Sligohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18201229508558436514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23243255.post-68288237401446689962008-06-03T06:58:00.000-05:002008-06-03T06:58:00.000-05:00Oooh, Silver Underground!

The crowds at the AFI are strangely irregular. Shows you'd think would be full are often sparse, and shows you'd think would be sparse are sellouts (like a showing of Barbara Stanwyck's Baby Face a while back). <BR/><BR/>I'd love to see that be a theater again, maybe a grindhouse branch? Horror films and cult films? One of the reasons I first moved to that neighborhood was the cheap theater in walking distance. Now there's no bargain theaters anywhere in this area...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23243255.post-24193155824154812112008-05-31T11:13:00.000-05:002008-05-31T11:13:00.000-05:00I'd buy this theater if I could, and if I never expected to make a profit. I know that there's enough hipsters and cinephiles out there to fill some seats for a Dario Argento/George Romero/David Cronenberg film fest, but in this town we're talking losing proposition.<BR/><BR/>How do I know? The midnight showing of the original Texas Chainsasw Massacre at the AFI last Halloween was only partially filled. Kids today! In my days, the place would have been filled with people whose shirts gave off strangely herbal fumes, but now, with DVDs...ahh, forget it!Springvale Roadernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23243255.post-57518389242931685382008-05-30T16:08:00.000-05:002008-05-30T16:08:00.000-05:00sligo, you have dragged me to enough movies, and i have only ever dragged you to ONE. don't make me spill what movie that was.<BR/><BR/>baj, you stay out of this. i keed!lil bnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23243255.post-30536914270482059042008-05-30T12:43:00.000-05:002008-05-30T12:43:00.000-05:00you should both be thankful you get to see movies at all. lb, go see 'iron man'; sligo, go see 'satc'; lisa, drink the water.bajhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17534818463933929353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23243255.post-911395581881830942008-05-30T11:56:00.000-05:002008-05-30T11:56:00.000-05:00And you should be thankful in turn that no one is dragging you to Iron Man.Sligohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18201229508558436514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23243255.post-23797328887391671702008-05-30T10:49:00.000-05:002008-05-30T10:49:00.000-05:00re: "some annoying chick" . . . that's rude. stop hating! no one is dragging you there, so be thankful about that.lil bnoreply@blogger.com
