B-Movies and Bad Science
 

It's not Cemetery Screenings, but the Natural History Museum and the Page will be showing a bunch of cool movies in the open air this summer. Looks like fun.

Encino Man: the film that was supposed to launch the career of Pauly Shore, but instead brought Brendan Fraser into the limelight.

I only want to see Encino Man outdoors in Encino.

...in an empty swimming pool.

... after having my brains pummeled with a sledge hammer.

Encino Man is a better movie than it has any right to be.

Zug zug!

better more entertaining

No: a FILLED pool. I've done this before: DIVE-IN THEATRE

We secured a large industrial projector and screen, and a significant sound system (that was my contribution). The projector was on one end of the pool (actually on top of a building - the laundry at the apartment complex we did this at), the screen at the other end (surprisingly no water spots!) and set up a 5.1 sound system (including four 15" drivers for the subs). Everybody watched the films (The First Indy and another film which I have promptly forgotten) from the pool or from chairs around the pool (and later in the party, from chairs in the pool).

Good times.
