Just here to tell you that the Egyptian Theatre will be screening THE 'BURBS as part of a Joe Dante retrospective on June 12th, alongside MATINEE (double feature). Joe Dante will be there to introduce the film. So if you are going to be in or around LA, you owe it to yourself to go (I wish I could!).
So, RudyIsAMoron, how was it? Did Dante have any interesting anecdotes or insights? Was anyone dressed up? Were there props like in a Rocky Horror screening? Spill! We're all dying to know the details.
...This man said it's gruesome that someone so handsome should care.
It was great. No one dressed up! Next time I'm going to be Ricky Butler or Ray in his pajamas. There were a good amount of people. The theater is pretty big, so it was far from full, but people had a good time and laughed a lot. Joe Dante did speak. He acknowledged that fans watch The 'Burbs habitually, and that's a mystery to everyone involved in the making of the movie.

How I envy you! Good to hear that you had a good time.
I wonder if any footage will emerge from this and end up on YouTube? There are a few videos floating around from previous screenings of The Burbs with Joe Dante, where he took some questions and talked about the film. It would be great if someone took a few videos of this one...
