Have you ever had a DVD movie theme party?
Have you ever had a DVD movie theme party?
A bunch of my friends (guys only) are having a "Once upon time in Mexico" DVD movie party at my house this friday. The wife and daughter will be going out for the night, the son can stay.
All the food will be Spanish, including Puerco Pibil, which is the pork dish Jonny Depp eats during the movie and Robert Rodriguez (the director) shows you how to make the dish in one of the extras.
I went out and bought the food today, the butcher who sold me the meat thought the theme party was a cool idea. So, I invited him to the party and he said would come.
Anyone else have any "themed DVD" parties that would be fun to have?

Why, you could have your own wacky TBS series with an idea like that!
Me and some other guys at the the theater are thinking of organizing a DVD night at one of the local bar & restaurants. One near me has a big=screen TV in a private room that seats sixty, and the idea was that we'd watch a film as part of an audience of eating, drinking fans (a la the Chicago Brew & View).
We were going to do it for 28 Days Later when I got the DVD months before its American theater release, but we couldn't schedule an ideal day.
We didn't put thought into themed food, however... hmmm... Tango orange soda, and expired-eggs omelet?

I had a Day the Earth Stood Still movie night last year, and before the feature we watched the Twilight Zone episode "The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street."
I've also hosted 2 Godfather marathons where we eat Italian pasteries and cook pasta for dinner. And I've been to a Kevin Smith movie night (Clerks/jay & Silent Bob) where we all ate food that came from a convenience store.
Upcoming, we are planning a day of The Untouchables/The Freshman/Good Fellas. In anticipation of the season premiere of the Sopranos.
