VHS tape screening- Labyrinth- March 28, 2012


There are few films as inspiring to the creative imagination as Labyrinth starring David Bowie's package. David Bowie's package is one of the most significant performers of the twentieth century. We are all better people for what David Bowie's package does on screen during Labyrinth, like in the scene where there is an upside down staircase and a baby crawling.

I also like the scene where the weird singing creatures pluck out their own eyes, throw them up in the air and catch them in their mouths, swallow them, and then, seconds later the eyes re-appear in the singing creatures' eye sockets.

I hope you like David Bowie's package as much as I do. If so, come see Labyrinth on Wednesday night.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit- March 21, 2012


This week we turn our attention to the gritty crime thriller, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, starring Bob Hoskins, or as I like to call him, "the Hosk." He plays an anti-hero private investigator who is drawn into a world of dangerous intrigue that blends the lines between reality and toonality.

VHS tape screening- Road House- March 14, 2012

In reverence to upcoming St. Patrick's day, and at the behest of Rachel, we will be paying homage to Saint Patrick Swayze this week by watching his throat rippin' masterpiece, Road House. (Green attire is not required.)

What can one say about Road House? It has everythi...ng...violence, booze, sex, rock music, and throat rippin', not to mention and important moral lesson in the end. Those who attend will be in awe of Saint Patrick's amazing (hay) loft apartment.

Swayze plays a tough guy who is the ultimate bar bouncer. Bar owners all around the country seek to hire him to help get their all-too-roudy bars under control. Only this time he gets more than he bargained for...

VHS tape screening- Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves- March 7, 2012

As I scanned the shelf trying to decide what next week's screening would be, it was as if an arrow shot straight toward me coming directly from Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves starring Kevin Costner. This semi-epic action movie was an important part of my childhood. The evil witch gave me nightmares. But I haven't seen it in years.This might be a dangerous choice.

It's two hours and fifteen minutes long. Drink slowly people.

VHS tape screening- ET: The Extraterrestrial- February 29, 2012

VHS night returns after a holy hiatus to bring a tale of intergalactic friendship-- ET: The Extraterrestrial. Kristin Joyce tells me she’s afraid to watch this movie on a VHS night because of how much we will make fun of it. She’s right. I’m sure there are endless jokes w...e can make about an alien who has glowing penis fingers and his unnatural relationship with a young earth boy. Don’t worry ET, we’re laughing with you, not at you.
For this screening, we are going to play a special game. Every time Elliot says “penis breath,” everyone has to take a drink. (It only happens one time.)
:-

But seriously, this movie has filled me with wonderful childhood memories, like the time Elliott says, "penis breath," or all those other memorable parts of the movie.

Please watch the trailer, because it will tell you how great Steven Spielberg is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7-2PB4jj2o
