Trailer for the sequel to the Shining...

I was a HUGE Stephen King fan and I had already read the book when I went to see the movie at Grauman's..., posted on June 13, 2019 at 19:37:56

A rather large black woman was seated directly behind the group that I was with and during the scene when Jack N. comes with a knife the woman blurted out in her best "Geraldine" voice, "Look out Honey, HE"S COMING WITH A KNIFE"! The whole place exploded with laughter....Pretty sure that was not what Kubrick had in mind, but it was funny....

The end credits for "The Shining" are more exciting than that DOA trailer...N/T, posted on June 13, 2019 at 20:47:15

It can be worth it going to a big deal house for a big deal film. It can be great fun.

I went there for bat man returns, hustlers started running up and down the isles selling canned drinks between the trailers and the feature. When the bat logo hit the screen, before the curtains even opened , the audience lost its mind. Nothing like that will ever happen at home with a DVD.

I am grateful that I saw the old palace before it was cut up, and still had the grand chandelier hanging above the crowd. Too bad about the location going to crap. if you leave a late show, good lord.

Crime is not normal there either. I made the rookie mistake of parking on the street, where my car window was broken out for a bag of old shoes. The cops said, anything exposed is a target, on the slight chance it could be something better than what it seems.

Patronizing those grand old movie theaters is near and dear to my heart..., posted on June 19, 2019 at 21:08:13

I have been to Grauman's Chinese a few times (most recently to a showing of Singin' In The Rain) My wife and I are going this Saturday to a showing of Hitchcock's Rebecca at the Orpheum Theater in downtown L.A. A festival which is produced by the Los Angeles Conservancy called The Last Remaining Seats (link provided). In addition to showing the film, it will include a tour of the theater after the movie and a question and answer session. The Conservancy does great work preserving buildings of historical significance. We became aware of their work last year when we toured Hollyhock House in Los Angeles which of course was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. We are HUGE FLW fans and when I used to work in Chicago for a big company, I toured several of his homes there. Of course we have been to Taliesin West (FLW's winter home in Scottsdale, AZ.) several times. There are only a few shows left on the schedule this coming Saturday and the following week. I've never been to the Wiltern, but we are going out of town to a family event so we couldn't make that one...

The Shining sequence in Ready Player One was the best part of the movie. Nt, posted on July 1, 2019 at 04:33:21
