COREY FELDMAN will be live in person to kick off their second year of "Midnight Movie Madness" with The Goonies!

This is easily worth $15 to see a celebrity trainwreck in person. How low does your career go when you're going to one screen movie theaters in a small suburb of the East Bay area?

Ask him if he's seen Never Back Down

Eric P · « **Reply #2 on:** March 21, 2008, 12:36:31 PM »

yeah but he'll be absolutely adored by the people who go there.

i'd probably do it schedule permitting

Hey now! It's not THAT bad - they just got new seats!

Yeah, they got new seats and a new sound system!

I think he just needs money. The usually charge like $8 for a ticket - it's $20 for folks who don't subscribe to their newsletter ($15 for me!). So that extra money is going to feed Corey Feldman.

They're kicking off "Midnight Movie Madness" with the following flicks:

The Lost Boys
The Goonies
The Wiz (Never seen it, kind of want to)
Monty Python and The Holy Grail (I'd see this, but nerds will ruin it for me!)
Mystery Science Theatre 3000: The Movie (good flick, probably will catch it!)
Blade Runner (yes!!!)

jesus i skipped out on monty python and the holy grail at the afi for fear of theater tech losers ruining the film

though i'd def go see MST3k the movie

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #8 on:** March 21, 2008, 12:46:17 PM »

Yeah, people will ruin Monty Python. My two favorite screenings thus far were Army of Darkness (because a real fight ensued) and Ghostbusters (which I never saw on the big screen).

I just hope people don't MST3K the MST3K movie.

Eric P · « **Reply #9 on:** March 21, 2008, 12:46:51 PM »

ugh that would suck

"bitch shut up"

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #10 on:** March 21, 2008, 12:48:26 PM »

That happened at Army of Darkness. Some group of hooligans started loudly shouting non memorable lines (it was kind of funny) and a few audience members got really upset. It deteriorated in to fullout name calling and insults ("Shut the fuck up, taco bitch!" "I'll kick your ass!"). The theatre owners had to come in and settle everyone down. I told CrystalGemini that the hooligans would yell one more time and bolt - and they did as predicted.

Then some folks got upset and started a fight outside, but CrystalGemini wouldn't let me stay to watch the brawl.

Willco, I know you don't trust my judgment, but listen to me now: DON'T WATCH THE WIZ

Michael Jackson looks like he's wearing a reese's peanut butter cup on his nose in that movie.

the wiz is an awesomely horrible movie. watch it for the laughs

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #14 on:** March 21, 2008, 01:04:33 PM »

Yeah, I'd watch The Wiz for laughs. It'd be like a real live minstrel show!

Candyflip · « **Reply #15 on:** March 21, 2008, 01:08:31 PM »

Lost Boys is even worse. BE ONE OF US MICHAEL

Mupepe · « **Reply #16 on:** March 21, 2008, 01:20:52 PM »

I watched Lost Boys for the first time a few years ago. I watched it once. I'm sure it would have been better if I watched it with friends or something.

I look just as overweight and pasty white as my avatar suggests - maybe moreso! So I don't have to live up to any real-life hype. But you better look beautiful. No excuses!

I can buy tickets tonight, but you owe me $40 (only one discount per person :'(). Okay?

That works for me.

You do know that Jewco is getting his discount by ripping you off for $20, right?

What makes it even better is that the movie he did just before the Wiz was EQUUS.

Seattle wins

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #27 on:** March 21, 2008, 05:33:51 PM »

It's The Egyptian! Of course it wins. That's like comparing it to the Arclight classic cinema showings or the Alamo Drafthouse.

This is a one screen theatre in the middle of Castro Valley (population: a few thousand asian and christian white people), not Seattle or Austin. It's old and haunted (I'm not kidding, it used to be a playhouse before it was a movie theater), and this is just the second anniversary of them doing something like this. They made so much money last year, they were able to renovate and put in actual, decent audience seats and a more modern sound system (I think they were using mono - I kid!).
