seeing a print of Pink Floyd's the Wall on weed would be awesome

[Giles]

^ I was drunk the last time I saw on the big screen.

[Rypro 525]

now that i think about it, half of these movies would be great as seen under the influence of something.

also for these revivals, AFI mostly uses prints right? And a rotfl at the fact that they are playing both Breakin movies

[Giles]

yup, 35mm ,to bad some aren't 70mm like Pink Floyd and Gremlins.

yeah, I'm very tempted to see the 'Breakin' the films.

[Scotts35]

I'm down for at least Robocop.

I love this festival, 2 years ago they had Evil Dead 2 and it was amazing.

[Rypro 525]

robocop would be fun to see on the big screen (although it would prob be the R rated version). i noticed that they mentioned that the print of Ghostbusters is a brand new print.

[Geofferson]

A great lineup there -- I'd enjoy watching three of the lesser (comparatively speaking) movies on the bigscreen:

Gleaming the Cube
Body Double
Lucas

[Rypro 525]

for those of us seeing Pink Floyd's the Wall tomorow night (i think me and prob. giles)
*Audience Giveaways!

July 17, 11:30pm late show: Win one of five pairs of tickets to see Pink Floyd tribute band The Machine, playing at The State Theatre on July 18.

it would be really neat if most of the audience sang along for the entire movie

[Giles]

another shout out to any DVDTalker who wants to join me and Rypro for 'The Wall' at 11:30 tonight !!

I'm gonna try to catch A Nightmare on Elm Street @ 2:45 tomorrow.
