I work at the Carolina Theatre right? I get to go to the Retrophantasma film festival for free and have a separate thread for Carolina Theatre reviews. Before the festival starts, the guy running the thing gives away some shit and says every preview we'll see that night will be running in the film festival at some point and to check out the whole lineup at intermission. I settle in with my beer and await the crap to start rolling, expecting the absolute worst.
They roll out the preview for Monster Squad and I chuckle again at wolfman's nards. Later comes a man talking while a truck is driving and people begin to holler. It's Big Trouble in Little China and I am smiling and really enjoying my beer. Then the kicker comes for me. The screen goes black and a sword appears. It flies into a word that takes up most of the screen. Cut to a chiseled man posing with a sword. That's right bitches, none other than Conan the fucking Barbarian is coming to the Carolina Theatre. Chills went up my spine at the thought of watching it on the big screen with many beers in my hand. Even better if I can recruit some of you guys to make the trip.
October 21st is the date it is playing and as an added bonus the double feature that night is the Dark Crystal, which is not a bad movie itself and one I own as well.
It is rare to be able to gather around a crowd of many to go to the movies. It is also rare to gather a crowd together to go to North Carolina. But this brings both together in an epic motivation for both. I kindly invite you all to use this as a rallying cry to come visit me.
The good points: Conan cutting heads off on the bog screen. Beer, probably at the Dave Buckley discount price too. I'll let you stay on my place unless there's 50 of you.
The bad points: the movie reels are 20 years old and show it. People might laugh at Conan throughout the entire thing.
Check out my other thread for more actual reviews. This was just something so amazing I had to call extra special attention to it.
