Shall we see Indy together?

Ditto on front row at the Dome. With Panavision movies, I love the curved screen that extends beyond your peripheral vision in the front row. It's frelling awesome.

We don't have many "better" theaters up here for an event movie like Indy. Large screens are available only at the Dome, the Chinese, and the Village.

I think there's only one such big screen in Orange County, but I could be mistaken.

With an event movie like this, clear digital projection and pristine THX sound are not enough. SIZE DOES MATTER.

Someone has to front lots of money, often before confirmation of who's going can be obtained. Otherwise, no sitting together.

I'm looking at the Arclight website now and the only show it says is sold out is the opening night midnight show. I checked the Friday show at 8:30 in the Dome, and it has a pretty good number of seats still available. If folks were open to going on Friday rather than Thursday, it seems that decent seats could still be acquired. Often it is easier for those farther afield to make Friday events than Thursday anyway, but I shall let those afield speak for themselves.

I think iSm is referring to the Big Newport. They're hosting craziness, which I admit I'm not into. They have a humongous screen but no digital projection, it seems. Bummer.

Also, LSPE and I are planning on having DVD screenings of the first three Indy installments sometime between now and opening day, and would be happy to host if anyone else is interested in such viewing.

We haven't worked out the details, like when and whether they will be shown together or at separate times, so those are open and we'd love to hear what works for anyone who wants to come.

Well, I'm thinking a Saturday screening would be better for folks coming from farther afield than L.A.


I'm also up for some old-time Indy screenings!

Indy Movie Night?

[Cadaverous Pallor]

I'd love to attend the Indy screenings.

I'm not a big fan of independent films. But I loves me some popcorn flix like Indiana Jones movies.

So... we're trying to figure out when to host the Indy screening thang. And it occurred to us it's going to be crazy for the next couple of weeks. Here's the deal.

May 10-11
Movie Night at Mousepod is offering a screening of The Orphanage this Saturday (and mother's day is Sunday) we can't really do it this weekend.

May 17-18
We were scheduled to have the dramatic reading on Sunday. What if we did the Indy screening instead, and postponed the reading to the following weekend?

May 24-25-26
Memorial Day weekend. The cruisers would be back the day before Memorial Day, so I'd love to be able to include them by having a reading on Monday - but I think some of you typically have a party then (I'm not sure about the date?) so I don’t want to lose any potential readers to barbecue. So maybe we’d have to push until June – but our anniversary and camp swank preclude early June, we’d have to push until mid-June and I don’t want to wait that long!

Your thoughts?

ETA: Ach, there IS a party that day, so we can't do the reading on Memorial Day. We'll have to push to June I guess.
