Saturday, April 24, we’re going to sit down and try to figure out why a dying man’s last words were “Rosebud”. Yes, Orson Welles’ directorial debut is going to be our presentation. This screening is part of a mini-series, as our next screening will be Manx, David Fincher’s film about the man who wrote the… Continue reading Citizen Kane
Shark Tale
Because we all need to come to terms with our self-image, this Saturday 10 April, we will be screening Shark Tale. This was Dreamworks answer to Finding Nemo. Instead of a heartfelt story about an adult coming to terms with sadness, death and loss, we have the story of a self-obsessed teenager. Still, I have… Continue reading Shark Tale
Hello 2021.
Last year, just about all we managed to do was to do the tech run in March. And then the curtain fell. This year, we will be running again. Robin is back, and I’ve added some long-wanted atmospheric lights to the screen. We’ll probably have a tech run in a couple of weeks, and then… Continue reading Hello 2021.
Probably down for a while
Obviously, it’s a different world now than even 1 month ago. So it looks like we’re going to be closed until at LEAST July. Texas is projections put our peak hospitalizations around the beginning of May, and it doesn’t look like thinks will cool off for a while after that. And of course, afterwords we… Continue reading Probably down for a while
Thank you Texas panic-buying!
Well, when we stopped into the market last night, the peepers had taken everything but the copper in the walls and some burger meat. We had been meaning to try it, so we thought we’d attempt sliders. I was a little dubious before they were cooked, they didn’t look great. Happy to report my doubts… Continue reading Thank you Texas panic-buying!
Experiments
Well, thanks to local panic buying, we decided we would try sliders made from BeyondMeat(tm). So far, it’s been … interesting. You know, that’s what test run movie night is all about. Trying things out. But we’ll cook it up and report back.
Teenagers: From Outer Space!!!
Tonight we’re going to have our technical run (i.e., we’re dragging the equipment out of storage to make sure it all works before we begin the real season), and I decided to change up the showing a little. We’re going to run Teenagers from Outer Space I know this is a ‘bad’ movie, but it… Continue reading Teenagers: From Outer Space!!!
Test Run, Saturday March 14
We’re going to set up the theater March 14 just to make sure everything’s working. I’m considering running my favorite Laurel and Hardy film, Sons of the Desert. We probably won’t have a lot of fancy setup for concessions, but if you want to pop over, we’d be happy to see you. Show should start… Continue reading Test Run, Saturday March 14
2020, the year before we make contact
I know it’s only February, but I’m already planning on the next season. I’m doing some cleaning and maintenance tasks this weekend, and if we get a warm day soon I may try a dry run. Are there any suggestions for movies to show this year?
Winter is here…
Or at least enough winter that we’re at the end of the season. So I’ll be wrapping up equipment and doing maintenance until next year. If I don’t see you, have a nice Thanksgiving, a Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year, or whatever set of holidays you prefer.
