HOLY ****!! Look what my Alamo Drafthouse is showing next month:

I'll be there

Oh man, there's a possibility I might actually be in Denver that day. Argh! Even if I am, I'm not sure I'd have a way to get to the theater. The suspense is going to kill me...

I'd be out by the airport. Doesn't look like the light rail goes that far, but it was a good idea. Although it looks like maybe a bus could be an option. I'm gonna have to do some more research.

Oooh, that sounds neat. I love the idea of recreating classic double bills.

[Dr Kain]

Well I picked up our tickets tonight.

I wish I didn't already have an all day event. It would be great to see these on the big screen with 35mm prints. And dubbed!

I may just go to this one. I'll have to double check my vacation schedule.

[Dr Kain]

Only a few days away, I can not wait!!!

[canofhumdingers]

So, I still don't know for sure if I'll be able to go to this (and won't really know until it's basically time to head to the theater). But I'm extremely hopeful. Problem is, I still haven't found a solution to my transportation dilemma. Is there anyone who's going that might be willing to give me a lift? I'm out by the airport but I'd gladly spot gas money.

Tickets bought! I'll be coming up from Colorado Springs.

Well that was awesome! Thanks Kain for the heads up! It was down the the last minute on whether I was gonna make it but it worked out and a coworker with a car was able to go with me.

Too bad August's slide show didn't work, but it was still a great event. The prints were pretty beat up in places and both were pretty significantly pink-shifted but they were still both very watchable. I'm still grinning from ear to ear. And my coworker, who'd never seen any old Toho movies, really enjoyed it too!

It was a lot of fun! From the Japanese clips they showed before the movie started (the ones featuring a former Mr. Universe were hilarious!), through August giving his background lectures, and the little mishaps on the screen this was a great time! My first time at the Alamo Drafthouse, but it won't be my last! Hopefully they will do this again before too long.

Sounds like it was super cool! The fact that they were old, pink-ish prints actually adds to it. You can imagine those same prints being ran at a drive-in 40+ years ago!
