Fair Warning

Just a quick note to remind all y'all that tomorrow, Thursday October 27th, may be your very last opportunity to see the original GHOSTBUSTERS on the big screen! Here's a link to my favorite theater, from there (on Fandango) you can find your own local theater that's showing it :)

Why would this be the last opportunity? Have they said they'll never do it again?

It's the last sure-thing screening. If the money is good enough (which it hasn't been from what I've heard) they could do it again some day, but it's highly unlikely. Or about as likely as, say, Gremlins or E.T. getting back on the big screen again in regular theaters.

I'd go see those again. Preferably a midnight showing with a bunch of friends.

This, in my opinion, is better... it's prime-time! It's kids who have never seen this film before seeing it with their parents who remember it fondly :) It's accessible for people from any walk of life who have been effected by the film, getting to share with other folks who they may have never even thought would be interested in such a thing. We saw a few of Crystal's co-workers there, costumers from ECCC that I don't know personally, other families that we now have a bit of a "knowing nod and meaningful wink" relationship with... it's magical! The type of magic that only comes from a shared cultural experience like this :)

Parties, private events and midnight showings are great, don't get me wrong, I'm just... I think I'm beyond having my Nerddom be a private affair between just me and my nerdy friends. I'm reaching out any more, I'm searching for the other Nerds out there :)

My favorite part of the midnight showings I've attended is getting to run into other awesome geeks and people yelling out silly things during the movie, and the crowd interaction. It's not just about the movie. It's about sharing the experience.

(And you usually don't have to censor yourself at the midnight showings because, you know, Little Timmy's ears!
