TAM event suggestion

[bigkevs]

May I suggest, if there is space on the agenda, that there be a screening of "Plan 9 from Outer Space."

Well, we could always have a Birthday Party for TAM...

Maybe they'll acquire and screen a specific film?

 

[Allecher]

Great idea, bigkevs! I vote for the MST3K version.

Seconded.

This is a really good idea.

AFAIK, there is no MST3K version, but there are Rifftrax versions.

The original, though, is in the public domain, so it shouldn't be all that difficult to do.

Heck, if we can find a screen somewhere, I'd say we should have it running continuously.

I have the DVD, I'll toss it in the trunk, just in case.

I am opposed to this.

 

[dasmiller]

I am opposed to this.

I confess that I'm having trouble imagining how it would actually work - where would we screen it, would people actually sit around and watch it, etc etc, but if I simply rejected plans because I couldn't see how they could possibly work out, I'd never go on a date.

So, can you be more specific about your reasoning?

I think he may just be opposing on principle.

ah, he's going all Newtonian on us ("For every action . . . ")

 

[AdMan]

Something like that. Or, "anything worth proposing is worth opposing."

Okay, yours rhymes, but ya gotta admit there's something catchy about "he's going all Newtonian on us"

There is a movie theatre in the South Point, and it's possible to get it for private screenings.


It's just a question of when to do it, and is there enough interest to make it worthwhile.

TAM falls on the weekend the final Harry Potter movie opens. Any screening of anything else might have to be in the conference room

Harry Potter outing, anyone? Seeing "Predators" last year was fun!

I'll pass on Harry Potter.

If it's Plan 9 playing, then I'll go.

 

[MummRa]

I'll go see HP 7.5. It'd be fun.

 

[fatewilleatyou]

I love all things Ed Wood.
Can we follow it up with Orgy of the Dead and cocktails?

 

[strimmer]

I have already started informally inviting people to get together and see Harry Potter 7 1/2!

 

[xinit]

I'll likely go see a movie or two while I'm there; it's something I've been doing rather a lot of this year. I'm in for HP at some point during the week I'm there, anyhow.
