Movie Monday @ Orange County Performing Arts Center

Remember this? Free screenings outside on the side of the theater. Tonight they're showing Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

From the site:

Quote:

Guests are encouraged to bring beach chairs or other easily portable seating items. Set-up begins at 5:30 p.m. with the movie starting at dusk (approximately 8 p.m.). In a continuing partnership with the Newport Beach Film Festival, a selection of the best short animated films from this year’s festival will be shown prior to the main feature. Guests may bring their own snacks and picnic suppers. Patina Catering will have assorted snacks and beverages available for purchase. Barbecues and similar food preparation will not be permitted.

Bah, wish I could go.

Seems everyone is trying to capitalize on the cemetery screening sensation. The Century City mall near my office has free screenings every Wednesday night. This week it's Raiders of the Lost Ark, but no matter how much I love that movie, I'm not tempted.

A few of us did this last year, it's pretty good. And now it looks like the film will be preceded by a short from the Newport Film Festival

Dang, forgot about this. I wish they did more than one per year.

After a late night in the cemetery yesterday I don't think I'm up for this. Which is too bad seeing as it's 5 minutes from where I am right now.

Mama Mia would be fun. I've only seen the stage play.

Me too! Somehow never got around to seeing the film. Even though it's got Colin Firth *drool*

So far for tonight, we have Lance, Sohrshah, and myself. If anyone else is planning to come, let me know (either here or ideally via twitter) and we'll try and hold space for you.

Tonight's clearly the best screening, under other circumstances I'd be there.

It was great! That movie holds up surprisingly well, in spite of the fabulous 80's CG. There were some 300-400 people (we estimated). Showing early is DEFINITELY a good idea.

Next week is Annie, and they're having a costume contest to give away tickets to the live performance of Annie later this year.

Oh yeah, they gave out iTunes gift cards with a 15-song playlist of Broadway songs back at their literature table. Downloading that now, looks like it's got some Spring Awakening, Jersey Boys, Shrek the Musical, and some other stuff.

This week's Free Movie Monday has Kevin Bacon in it!: Footloose

Movie starts at approximately 8pm, but plan to arrive well before that to score a decent spot. Set-up is allowed starting at 5:30pm. You can park for free at South Coast Plaza and walk over to OCPAC if you don't wanna pay for parking. (Although if there are 2 of you, drop one person off with the stuff, then go park to make life easier)

All times are GMT -7. The time now is 06:08 PM.
