    The TCM stuff is usually Wednesday and Sunday. I saw The Godfather in July. If you want more, talk to the manager of your local theater.
    Thanks for the info! I probably will. I know this type of thing is spotty, and obviously more costly to the consumer. The Godfather would be pretty cool to see on big screen. Would love to see the original True Grit on the big screen.
    Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

      Alamo Draft House does this with their "special viewing parties." IINM the Fathom events are a copycat of those.

      Fathom does one thing really well: simulcasts of performances from the Met. It's a brilliant idea and a service you can't get anywhere else.

        I'm not sure if Fathom is an org that promotes the old movies or a theater company, but my local theater is a Marcus theater, and TCM is associated with the showing. The movie's making its rounds in the local Marcus locations. The Sunday showing on October 15 is in Oakdale, about 25 minutes farther from me, but it sold out, thus the 7:00PM Wednesday viewing.

        Also, from Kepler's reply, Marcus Theaters does screenings of various ballets and operas. I know many of them are from Vienna, but there may be some Met ones there too. No matter how many times I try, I just can't get into that stuff.

          I'll look for that, thanks. I had two "ins" on opera: I studied play-writing and theater history so there's a natural connection, and I took a clapping for credit music course in college on opera where they stripped it down to the machine language and rebuilt it, so when I see it I'm following along with the composer and librettist watching them make decisions and it's fascinating.

          Even with that I loathe Wagner, everything atonal, and everything after about 1912. Benjamin Britten can bite me, and Woyzeck is woeful.

            And Clown, a local theater did that with Animal House last year. Still worth it to see on the big screen.
            Welled up a coupla times watching that. Well deserved Best Actress Academy Award for Julianne Moore.

                  just got back from kingsman 2. quiet until the last 1/3.

                  on the KU flight back from london watched some ben affleck, gladiator guy movie. state of play perhaps. over cliche movie if their ever was one.

                  also KU doesn't have a lot of money to spend so the other options that mookie watched were ocean's 12, then rush hour 3 seriously now, how much does hollywood really charge these airlines to screen movies?!?!

                  yup. mookie watches that when it's on too.

                    Going tonight to a free screening of The Dark Knight at Smitty's. Big, comfy chairs and they bring food right to your seat. They make all their money selling dinner, so freebies are common. They devote two of six screens to Patriots games every week, and do great business with their Game of Thrones showings. I just wish they had an IMAX screen for the big movies.

                      Regal is also doing Horror Fest in October. My theater is not currently listed but I definitely will be speaking to our manager. I want!

                        That is genuinely inspired programming. Very nice.

                        If at all possible, see Suspiria in a theatre. One of the greatest movies -- horror or otherwise -- ever made, and you could probably write a doctoral dissertation on every frame from it.
