Hey, everyone. "Moriarty" here with some Rumblings From The Lab.
A few weeks back, I ran a story about a midnight screening of RED DAWN at the Nuart in Santa Monica. I ran a full list of the films in the current midnight series and said there might be more personal appearances at some of them in the near future. Last weekend, the Thor-loving little actress and the screenwriter from ADVENTURES IN BABYSITTING showed up at the Nuart, with no advance notice.
This weekend, you'll get a little more warning. If you're a fan of Germany's answer to LORD OF THE RINGS (so popular in the Fatherland that there are theme parks devoted to it) and you're in the greater Los Angeles area, then hop in a car and hoof it out to Pasadena on Saturday night. Atreyu... Noah Hathaway... the kid with the Daggit from BATTLESTAR GALACTICA... is going to show up to introduce the movie. What more do you want?
Oh... right... details. Well, the screening is going to be at Landmark's Rialto Theatre, which all good film geeks know is the theater where Griffin Mill strangled The Writer in Altman's THE PLAYER. That's Fair Oaks at Oxley in South Pasadena. You can call for more information at 626-799-9567.
When they showed a mint condition print of THE GOONIES here last year, the crowd was gargantuan. Suburban kids are almost distressingly in touch with nostalgia for their childhood, so expect another sizeable turnout for this one.
And if you can't go, then just consider this a Talk Back where you get to yak about a movie you grew up with. Or didn't, as the case may be. Hope I'll see some of you there. Until then, I've got to finish working on this ATTACK OF THE CLONES script review for my RUMBLINGS this weekend. Gotta go...
"Moriarty" out.
