That’s Dr. Saggynuts to you! I didn’t go through 7 years of saggy nut medical school to be called Mr!

I saw stop making sense in the movie theater when it was first released. Get off my lawn.

Back in the 80s, there was a local neighborhood theater that showed rock movies at midnights on the weekends. An Evening With The Doors, Song Remains the Same, Stop Making Sense, 200 Motels, The Wall. It was a hell of a good time. One night, just before the Zeppelin started, somebody came on the intercom and said, “We’re about to start the movie. So, sit back, relax, and don’t throw up on your neighbor.” The lights went out, the beers were opened, the bowls were lit. And everybody went bananas every time Tina Weymouth came on the screen in her mini skirt. Sadly, that tradition went away a long time ago. Good times, though. Good times.

People are too conservative these days to drink beers and take bong hits in a movie theather anymore. My wife went to the University of Iowa and has many stories of going to dive theaters to see $1 movies and such.

I snuck in a foot-long bong for one movie. There was a cop at the door who took his OT paycheck and looked the other way. But then the theater got popular, the neighborhood got yuppified, and all that sort of stuff was gone. Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all....

If you haven’t already seen it, go watch the movie CBGB. Alan Rickman does an excellent job in that movie.

I did this in college at our local cheap theater. There was no way I was going to see Snakes On a Plane or Beerfest sober, so me and a couple people collectively snuck in a case of Schlitz and a few pints of booze to enjoy them. It was equally funny as the movie to hear the sound of beer cans rolling on the floor below the seats, especially since the theaters were on an incline.

I remember those times. Not a music film, but the last movie I attended with that atmosphere was a midnight showing of Natural Born Killers. Guess that would have been ‘94-’95. There were people hanging off the balcony. It was a memorable experience to say the least.

This weekend I’m going to a midnight showing of Gummo at a licensed theater. Fingers crossed...

Gummo (IMDB): Lonely residents of a tornado-stricken Ohio town wander the deserted landscape trying to fulfill their boring, nihilistic lives.

Sounds....interesting? Uplifting? Sort of like Trainspotting , but in the American Midwest?

Also, what is a licensed theater?

It’s both uplifting and dark/depressing. Part of its magic, I guess. You are spot on with the trainspotting reference.

This trailer portrays both sides of the film best:

Another strong suit of the movie is its ability to portray a sense of realism. Almost documentary-like in feel.

Licensed theater?: I can buy beer. :-)x

You forgot Rocky Horror. But-yea-was there. Thx for the memory. (Funny thing-I was listening to 200 motels soundtrack last night while working in the garage.)
