I'll keep my eyes peeled, but I don't know if there's anybody who still projects film in my neck of the woods, especially 70mm, much less when they would.

The four or five dates I've been on in my life have always been dinner and a movie (at a cinema, not my house), I wouldn't know what else to do, I'm too socially inept.

And there are only three Star Wars movies. Or were.

Don't sweat it. My fiancee and I had our first date at a movie. That was 4 years ago.

I honestly cannot fathom what that would be like. I'm pretty sure it would be beyond the Randy Marsh jizz kind of event.

I remember back in the day, opening up the L.A. Times Calendar section to see which theaters had a certain movie(s) in 70mm. It was such a common thing.

I once did Krokodil with a girl right before I told her, "I'm going to bang you until your limbs fall off." She laughed. "No way," she said. "You could never bang me that long."

It didn't take long. And her limbs fell off.

WINNING.

Movies can be bad for a first date because the idea is that you're supposed to be talking to the other person, getting to know them. If you go see a movie that's two hours where you're just sitting next to them, but not speaking. It's a great date night for somebody you are involved with, but not if you're just starting to see them. You want to go with something that involves more interaction. Start with dinner, then find an activity that you both can enjoy together, ice skating, a trip to a museum, bowling, a trip to a festival, anything that keeps you two talking to each other.

Brett Ratner says he has some ideas to improve 2001. He wants to remake it in 3D without out all the "boring parts" and include a space chase and a new twist ending.

And the astronauts will be played by Chris Tucker & Jackie Chan. And a cameo by Wolverine so it can tie into some kind of super hero universe.
How fucking cool is that. Take that Kubrick you boring hack.
