Heheh, the vocal track being all out of synch reminded me of "No, no, No" - "Yes, yes, yes" from Singin' in the Rain.

(Are they ever going to show that there??)

Oh, and cups with shots of tequila in them were the best movie participation props ever.

I might be the first to get video of this up on YouTube (my cursory search turned up nothing). You can't see much, but you can hear everything. Awesome (pass it along to anyone you'd like

). We also got this photo

The whole evening was more fun than it had any right to be. I've seen the film probaby a dozen times, but it's been well over a decade since I've viewed the whole thing. And I'm glad it has, as rediscovering those great little moments, and suddenly understanding some of the "adult" inferences that once went over my head was a true delight. And knowing that all those involved in the movie were there enjoying the atmosphere with us was magical.

Even having grown up in SoCal, I can't claim very many true hollywood moments. This qualifies in spades, and I'm still just giddy that I was a part of it.

And, of course, thanks to iSm for the deadly cake! Happy Birthday EH!

Thanks GD! It is so funny, we can totally hear our voices, giggles and cheers! That was such a great experience.

Fantastic footage GD. I really wish I'd been able to come down for it. I have so many good memories of Pee-Wee.

Here's one:
I was a teenager - working in NYC, but was living at my parent's house in NJ. One early evening, I was walking around uptown and got caught in a torrential downpour. Seeking sanctuary from the rain, I jumped into a comedy club. The club was set up in such a way that the bar was accessible from the street, and the dining room with the stage was just beyond it. The two rooms were separated by a plexiglass window, so you could watch what was going on and hear it through a tinny speaker, but you could only go into the dining room if you made dinner reservations. The comedian on stage that week was Pee-Wee Herman (the only time I'd seen the character was on an HBO special). I was absolutely floored by his weirdness - and when I got home to NJ later that night, I insisted that my parents make dinner reservations to see this psycho. A couple of nights later, Mom, Dad and I sat down at our table just a few feet from the stage and were treated to a full set of Pee-Wee's standup act. Pure genius. It is a memory I will treasure always.

I wonder who'll show up at the Psycho screening? Mrs. Bates, perhaps?

Only three members of the credited cast are still kicking (Vera Miles, John Gavin, and Patricia Hitchcock) so maybe they'll get Anne Heche.

You know, I never saw the Psycho remake and have mostly put it out of my mind. I just looked at the cast and it is actually a very good one (Vince Vaughn, Julianne Moore, Viggo Mortensen, William H. Macy, Philip Baker Hall. Hard to believe they all got behind such a stupid idea.

Who's there already?

Are any of the Psycho cast members currently "residing" in that cemetary?

It's awful. Terrible. Crappy. And it features the worst shower curtain ever.

Sounds like everyone had a fabulous time at the PWBA screening!
