I will not be available the weekend of March 12th. Also, I probably would not be able to make a mid-week meet-up, especially if it is in the afternoon.
And now, a side note:
A while back, I mentioned "Die Hard" showing at the Alamo Drafthouse. Well, that has come and gone, but another movie in the same vein will be showing at the Drafthouse for one night only in March.
As Flake would say, "This is my childhood right here." I am referring to 1987's "Predator." They are showing it at the Alamo Drafthouse Ritz (downtown) on a Sunday night, 10pm, March 20th. They are not simply playing a DVD or Blu-Ray either.......this is an original 35mm film print. In the show description, they make the bold claim that it is the only known 35mm print in the Western world.

I am huge fan of this movie. It's classic 80s action with a sci-fi twist. It's just pure entertainment. I've seen it a million times, but nothing beats watching a movie in a theater full of reverent fans. Previously, I've been to a showing of "The Terminator" (35mm print) and I really enjoyed the experience, so there's no way I'm missing "Predator." These 35mm print screenings are pretty legit with visible cracks and scratches in the 20 year old film. Cool stuff if you're into the
retro lifestyle
.
Anyway, if anyone is interested in going with me, let me know.
