East New York, I actually agree whole-heartedly with you. I don’t love The What, but I do enjoy seeing him here and having laughs at his expense. He unites many of us as friends and is one of the most amazing foil’s I’ve ever encountered.
Manhattan???!!!! Sacrilege! Let’s project off the monument at Grand Army Plaza or on the monstrously yellow Brooklyn Children’s Museum. Everything will be cast in a warm golden glow that we can attribute to the alcohol- or not.
“He just thrives on the attention.”
And you guys can’t wait to give it to him. Be honest….you LOVE “The What” just as much as I love reading the back-and-forth electronic skirmish! It’s all pretty funny.
My advice: take it easy. If “The What” IS nuts, as you guys say he is, there’s nothing to worry about.
Are we going to have time to squeeze in all these films in the next 80-something days we all have left?
I vote for Young Frankenstein (we can all use a good laugh amidst the horror!) and I second Cold Comfort Farm!
And of course ecological horror classics like Attack of the Killer Tomatoes and Night of the Lepus. If anyone brings pie plates we can make ufos a la Plan 9 From Outer Space.
Noki, sacre bleu!! It’s “julep”. They’ll never let you attend the Derby now.
I’ll bring Cinema Paradiso, my all-time favorite movie (with apologies to Zhang Yimou’s “To Live” and Capra’s “It’s a Wonderful Life”), and propose we project it off Belvedere Castle in Central Park, unless someone has a better location. Let’s just make sure to monitor our drinking lest anyone get’s any ideas about skinny dipping in the Turtle Pond!
I make a mean potato salad. I have the Matrix, Blade Runner, and Cold Comfort Farm, one of my favorite movies.
Fabulous idea Montrose! I’ll bring the beer, Biff can bring the Julip makings, Dave can bring the pewter cups, and Bxgrl can bring the fresh mint her green block. Oh, and I already have Apocalypse Now, Breaking Away AND Mad Max on DVD. I’ll bring them.
Can we throw in Terms of Endearment just for kicks? We’ll need tissues.
MM- Can we have pod people? I want pod people!
