Cemetery Film Screenings - Sunset Blvd. - July 9th
 

Anyone interested in going? Iv'e been wanting to go for ever and I ADORE Sunset Boulevard. Saturday, July 9th.

They do this almost weekly during the summer, so there will be others.

And Hollywood Forever cemetery backs up against Paramount Studios, which produced and is featured in the film.

You can get (a little too) close-up with Mr. DeMille. I wonder how many other people in the film are in this cemetery?

Well, I don't know as far as people in the film, but there are quite a few celebrities at this cemetery.

Valentino
Tyrone Power
Mel Blanc
Peter Finch
Douglas Fairbanks Sr. and Jr.
Benjamin "Bugsy" Seigel
Jayne Mansfield
Joan Hackett
Peter Lorre
Virginia Rappe (the woman supposedly killed by Fatty Arbuckle)

I would love to see a film there, ESPECIALLY "Sunset Blvd.". We love that movie. Don't think this weekend is going to work for us though (damn work schedules). If another film comes up later that people would be interested in seeing, we'll do our best to attend. It sounds like a great place to go see a movie.

I will get back to you on this. I would love to see that movie in a cemetary. Fantastic!

That cemetary itself is worth a half-day trip! It's something else! Sunset Blvd is such a classic. I daresay I even enjoyed Sir ALWebber's musical version too <ducks rapidly>, especially when they pay homage to the movie itself with the chase sequence playback.

I might ... I just might.

Might what?

Not go.

Wow that sounds really cool NA! I need to get back in touch with my inner goth, what better way to do so then watching a movie in a graveyard!

Tref, dear- are you so desperate for an avatar that you had to borrow the Commodore's? I'm sure we can hold an avatar drive for you, if that wouldn't be too embarassing. We all run out of avatars from time to time- there is no shame in that!;)

Hehe. I appreciate your kind words, WB.

I spent all night trying to re-configure my photos to fit LoT, but no matter what I did -- it just would not work. I did this as a test. But I must admit -- Ilikeit.

*dog barks*

What is it, Shep? That's just the Commodore. You know, the Commodore, good friend of yours. Shep, stop it now, don't be silly.

*dog barks and growls loudly*

I'm sorry Commodore, I don't know why Shep is acting like this, I apologize. He's never acted this way towards you before....Shep! Stop it! Bad dog!

*drags snarling dog away*




The animals can sense it....

Quite frankly, I think I look better as the Commodore! I always thought I looked good with a pipe. Toot!

Complete thread derail here...

But when Popeye blows through his pipe, why isn't he sprayed in the face with burning ash? (this question comes to you from George Carlin)

Back to the regularly scheduled thread...
:)

Sorry I wish I could go that sounds so cool!

Dang, I wish I could go! That sounds like so much fun. I gotts to get that film on DVD.

BTW, I worked on the Paramount lot a couple times and I made it a point to see some of the "sites" from the film. I believe it was stage 18? And that 2 story writer's offices across from the stage was still there circa 1998. Lots of history on that lot...

I'd love to hear a report on the goings on!! ;)

Criminey! I've been doppleganged!

Use it in good health, you handsome devil, you.

That's scary...

Shep? hahahahaha!! Are you a pilot yourself?

Wait.


I think I might have gotten one.



Is that from Airplane?

Awww, she guessed it!! ;)

Nothin' like a random Airplane quote....

Haha! -- thank you for your blessing. But I shall have to remove it and find my own. Oh bother.

YAY! Tomorrow night's the night!

Final Boarding call.......

We're bringing:

Blankets
Chairs
Fuzzy Water
Food of some sort

Who's joining us?

Oh! Oh! Oh! Perhaps!!! It looks like so much fun!!

We will be there at about 7:30 to get into the gates and park our car. You will find us on a blanket somewhere graveside. The phone will be on until the film starts.

Next week, they're showing Kubrick's Lolita. Damn DL Birthday!

Well, up until Adam called, I would have been joining you. Now I get to go to LAX. Wheee!

Wouldn't he prefer going to a screening of the dead?

He's merely arriving, not dearly departing.

It wasn't a cemetary, but I did go to tonight's Fremont Outdoor Movie and I did think of Not Afraid often -- as tonight's feature was Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

:p :evil: :p

Yeah, Prudence!:snap::D:snap:

Okay, the Sunset Boulevard Screening was awesome. I can't think of a better showing of this film. First off, a hip crowd that you know is full of industry types, A pre-show DJ spinning swank sounds, a Hollywood classic, with killer noir dialogue, shown in the cemetary that some of the greats were burried. I think we'll definately be going back.

Next week is Kubrick's Lolita - which I'll regret missing, as it's one of my favorites. But the following week is Breakfest at Tiffany's - Audrey Hepburn's finest. I think we'll try to get to that one.
