Sssssh, erica might go.


Um, they're ending!

They end after Labor Day.

Not that this would be of much interest to most people likely to attend a Cemetery screening but if you do time in the Bay Area, there is going to be an outdoor screening of Snow White at Black Diamond Mine Regional Park in Antioch in mid-September.

I'm not clear yet on whether they actually do the screening in one of the mines (the visitor center for this park is actually down in one of the old sandstone mines) or outside somewhere but it could be fun.

Dude. Do you not know us at ALL? I'd say about 80% of us are equally likely to pop "Snow White" in the VCR as "Suspiria." Possibly more likely.

Mid September I will be in LA neither cemetary screening or down the mine shaft. :( I'll be at pink Martini and Disneyland! :D

As much as I love my fellow LoTters, Cary Grant, Rosalind Russell and Abner Biberman, I'm going to pass on the cemetery screening thing. My last experience at the cemetery was soooo bad that I can't bring myself to go again.

The people running the screenings do nothing about people who interrupt the film multiple times nor do they say anything about people talking throughout. Talking during a movie: it's one of my pet peeves.

I guess the screenings have become way to popular.

:(

I would like to point you to my post about last weeks screening of Suspiria. Great crowd, no obnoxious talking anywhere near us.

No, I hear you. It's just that the last two times were pretty terrible.
The other time there were those gaggle of guys who weren't even facing the screen and talking on their cellphones the whole time.

Yes, there's time for socialization and fun prior to the film, but during... bleh.

Yeah, this will be my last test. If the crowd at any oldie like His Girl Friday is obnoxious, I'm calling it quits.

I totally understand the trepidation, but ya' got to at least reserve judgment until the next round of films that aren't being announced in advance. I'm pretty well convinced that a large contributor to the less-than-respectful crowd has been the availability of the play list. A broader range of people are willing to come if they can see what's playing and have time to coordinate, vs. those of us who just love to go, who cares what's playing. If the second half of the season continues to draw the riff-raff, I'm right there with you, but I'm holding out hope that the return to the old ways will help.
