PM me before 7:00pm tonight or just show up around 7:15...I'll be the short kid in the green hoodie and black hat but I ain't waitin' around long.

This thread can be tossed in the Off-Topic zone if the mods please.

Well I just got back from that screening. The sound design was good for a horror flick (that's always the first thing I critique...) even though it jumped up very roughly at least 10-15dB during the climax scenes.

The cinematography was real good (mostly shot on location in New Orleans) editing was pretty spot on. The story was good with a nice twist, but IMO suffered a little from the Scooby-Doo factor... :eek: The art direction was good and spooky. Kate Hudson ain't too shabby to look at neither. Overall it was alright I'll give it a C+... because it wasn't that scary (more cheesey scares IMO) but it was PG-13...go see and tell me what you think. :ugh:

Naw the sneak screening wasn't even half full. I looked for some fly ladies to give tickets to outside the theater but it was too windy and no one was out front. San Francisco movie goers are almost as rude as FL people (cell phones aside). Everyone had tacos, subs, cotton candy, some pretty obvious "outside" food and I sware this couple in the back was roasting a pig...I could smell it 5 rows down :lol:

I've worked in a theater before and its not a lot of fun. As a projectionist you have to run up and down the hall setting and threading each projector for the show times. That's why they stagger film start times cause there will only be like 2 projectionists for an entire 20 theater complex! I did meet Woody Harrelson at the theater during the film festival. He came up stairs with his manager and was like "Whoa...I've never been in the projection booth before!!!" I was a bit puzzled...then he asked to use the bathroom, and I think he went to smoke a doobie. :bong:But that was fun and he's a real cool bloke, that Woody.
