I hada really good time! The comedy did nothing to irritate me in that way many comidies of that genre do. There were so many homages to other great gilms that I was greatly entertained throghout. Why no one mentioned that that the film starts out with a Tour dream is beyond me!
The spontanious "clap clap clap Deep in the heart of Texan" was absolutely wonderful. My other favortie moment was from Chris during the Alamo tour scene. He said, in
that voice MASECA!
The vibe couldn't have been better. The crowd was so into it and, I couldn't help but be caught up in the happiness. I'm not sure I would watch this film on my own - especially after such a great viewing but I'm REALLY glad I got to make it to this one.
One thing I caught in the film - in the Magic Shop, there is an Elvira poster on the wall. Then she shows up later in the film as the Biker Babe. I wonder if she was in the audience. We shared a space and convo with her at the cemetery last year.
I also loved the Tim Burton feel to the film. There were a few Frankenwenie moments. I forgot Elfman did the soundtrack and I, surprisingly, really liked the music.
It was areally great night and I'm so glad I was able to make it.
We did an improptu stop for drinks at Tantra (which used to be such a hot spot-what happened?) and closed the place. Actually, we were supposed to go to another place for flaming margaritas but ended up in Silver Lake at another place that wasn't the flaming margarita place, but Tantra happened to be next door. I don't know the name of the place were were actually TRYING to go to, but Chris named it Los Cantalopes and that's all I can rememeber.
