Okay.
firstly i'd like to apologise for a lot of who read this thread title thinking it was a screening of The 'burbs.
Secondly like to ask who has seen it on the 'big-screen', i being only 20 didn't nhavew the priviledge back in 1989 too.
BUT i did work in my local cinema a company called CINEWORLD.
They did a special old skool tuesdays called TIMEWARP TUESDAY showing classic 80s movies for cheap. Does anywhere in AMERICAN cinemas do this?
Only one showing a day, and a different film everyweek... at7pm.
such the like of; gremlins, ghostbusters, ghostbusters 2, karate kid, and THE 'BURBS.
I came home from college at 4pm, and had work from 5pm-11pm in the chipshop down the road from me. My friend rang me at 4:45pm and said THE 'BURBS is being shown tonight; so 5mins later i rang my boss 5MINS BEFORE I HAD TO START MY SHIFT and said "...sorry can't come into work 2day, i have diarohea" hahah.
so me and 3 or so friends went to watch it; i was so excited. And was a brillaint experience... it was in the premiere luxury screen. ANd onyl about 20 people there.
i spent ages picking my chair where to watch it from.
complained it was too quite.
From wortking in the cinema i found out that the old original film 35MM prints of the films are keep as a back catalog in a random UK warehouse. i wanat to try get a fill copy of 9x cans of the BURBS on film be good.
ALSO i am allowed to hire out the premiwer screen of 70 lucury seats and watch the burbs for £200! someone help me do it just need to sell tickets.
anayway back to the point......
HAVE YOU SEEN THE BURBS ON THE 'BIG-SCREEN' ANYTIME?
