Got 'em. Apparently Fandango is smarter than me.

Yes, I tried to link directly to the purchase page, but it bounces you to an earlier screen. Ah, well. Ticket purchased, as well. Thanks for coming along.

I believe CP bought a ticket.

I am so disappointed that EH couldn't make it! :(

That movie was so much fun. A perfect homage to 1950's nuclear/space scare flicks but done in super-saturated primary technicolor style (in HD with a digital projector, ahhhh). I wish imdb had some better quotes, since the writer had a fantastic way of twisting well-worn phrases into looping redundancies. The writing was hilarious, gorgeous sets and buildings of the era, great campy performances.

Variety wrote this up and it says it better than I do:

The not-quite-right names, nonsensical plot turns and belabored pseudo-scientific gibberish are all nicely tuned, capturing the know-nothing ethos of Eisenhower-era filmmakers angling to cash in on events (and better movies) they only vaguely understood.
There was a Q&A which made me super jealous of indi filmmakers and all the fun they have hiring friends to be a part of their projects. If only we knew someone with real cash....;)

Oh, and here is one of the shorts shown before the film. The Tales from the Pub series was created for YouTube by the same people as Forehead, including the actors.

I hung out with mousepod, the TodiMooers, and Boss Radio afterwards for a snack and shmooze. MP and BR having a go at the history of cinema at the same table is quite a thing to witness, and I am an avid student at the feet of the masters.

Great fun! :D

Almost forgot - cameo by Kevin McCarthy, whom I know best as the bad guy in UHF. :D
