Um, we may not make it.





Final decision pending.

So, I guess people will be there 6ish???

We wanted to come, but we are just too pooped. Have fun y'all

LOVE that film! I'll miss the Cemetery until next summer. It always makes my summer a better time.

Great film, I really enjoyed it. And of course the wonderful company!

Undoubtedly the scariest film ever made, The Shining is nothing less than perfect. With sublime direction from Kubrick and unsurpassed performances by Jack Nicholson, Shelley Duvall and seven year old Danny Lloyd, it is at once terrifying and entertaining. A caretaker and his family are snowed in at the Overlook Hotel, and discover that it is haunted by spirits who have a sinister plan for them. Bring blankets, drinks and picnic dinner for this special screening below (and above) the stars.

Oh fine.


And I went and made plans for Halloween. Grrrr.



Although, we've already done this at the Cemetery, and it was practically unbeatable.

Who could ever forget: TUESDAY .... "Aaaaaarrrrrrhghghghhhhhh!!!!!!"


(yes, if you weren't there, that will be gobbledeegook to you.)




Anyone gonna do this? If some people are in, I might just change my plans.


Anyone up for the Day of the Dead thingie there on the Saturday night before Halloween???

Meh and bleh.
I'll be at work until 6:30pm or so. I don't think I can make it there in time...

Random comment about the Shining -- it's being reissued on DVD and I've seen comparisons... on the new DVD they tweaked it and the picture is MUCH better.

OK now back to your regularly scheduled thread. Carry on.

I can't get used to the aspect ratio. It was shown in theaters as a Panavision film (2.35:1), and the DVD is framed as a widescreen movie (1.85:1).

Supposedly, that's how Stanley wanted it .... but I have a hard time believing it was exhibited theatrically in an aspect ratio that control freak Stanley Kubrick disapproved of.


That said, it's one of my favorite movies and I'll be buying the new DVD. (reissues of A Clockwork Orange and 2001: A Space Odyssey are also coming out, um, today in fact.)
