Habitual watcher Of The Burbs

Just curious...how did you guys come to decide on the date for Burbs Day? Is July when production started? Ended? Video released? Ricky Butler said the movie was released to theaters on Feb 17...we are quickly approaching the 19 year anniversary! Yesss!! *pumps fist like Ricky Butler*
 
If my memory is correct, we schedulded this date back in 2004 on the imdb - page when I began to become a Burbanite. Indeed, the Burbs Day had been invented by some unknown wise men before but for some reason wasn't celebrated anymore. So I proposed to begin celebrating it again and made the proposal of celebrating it on the first saturday of July.

First --> easy to remember

Saturday --> Enough time for celebration if you don't have to work on saturdays

July --> Good chances of having a sunny, hot day in the suburbs.

One of the imdb - users didn't agree on the first saturday since he/she had no time so I proposed the second saturday and he/she agreed. Since then, it remained the second saturday.
 
And it is close to one of the holidays that the Burbs could have happened around - July 4th.

Thanks for the applause Art. :D Now let me go find that post

Haahaha nice... verrry nice...

I haven't seen it for ages either, but here's my 'Burbs habit story. Back in my heady teenage years, I'd visit my uncle's farm every summer holidays, and my cousins had recorded it from TV... whenever it was just too hot to even move, day or night, many lazy hours were spent sitting under the ceiling fan eating popsicles, watching and re-watching the 'Burbs. Now it's whenever I'm in the mood to do something productive - WATCH TELEVISION.
 
EXCELLENT story....Im about to go and watch it myself...in bed...with a beer...cool
