FYI:

I ran across this thanks to a post by Mousepod, I thought some of you might like to know:

The Wizard of Oz will have a special theatrical showing in theaters across the country tonight 9/23/09.

I saw this at a studio screening with L. Frank Baum's great grandson in attendence about three weeks ago. If you can come up with whatever the coin is I can't recommend it highly enough. Brand new restoration in 4K and it's being re-released on Blu-Ray.

It's exquisite!

Wish I could go, but I can't take the time tonight. Also, the one showing here is sold out anyway. Too bad they're not doing it more than just one time.

oooh, i hope my showing is not sold out. I'll find out in 10 minutes.

There's a showing here at 7pm. Not going to be able to see it, tho. First preview tonight for the play. I love the idea of being able to see classic films in the theatre.

It would have been nice to see it with such an enthusiastic crowd, but I suspect it was sold out long before today. I couldn't get worked up about it when I first heard of it, because I've seen this film in theaters about 8 or 9 times.

If I'd had a clue it would be a sold-out phenomena, I would have excitedly bought in. Most screenings have been sorta lackluster, but once in a while a really good crowd.

damn. and here I just loaded Dark Side of the Moon on my iPod too

These people don't know how to book theaters. Century City, Burbank, or The Bridge in L.A.

Please.

Should've been either the Arclight or the Chinese for the Gays to bother showing up. I have been to a sold out showing at the Cineramadome and it was faaaaaaabulous.

We're not getting it.

That's pretty ironic, considering a certain very popular nickname for Austrailia.
