in between a needle and some bread
Film geek alert! The Carolina Theatre in beautiful downtown Durm is part of the United Artists 90th Anniversary celebration. Acto the press release they are the only theater in NC or SC that was invited to participate. So, for the next six weeks, there's a chance to see some classic movies on the big screen. Okay, some of them are more camp classics than actual classics. In yesterday's N&O there was a story about this and apparently the folks at UA were impressed by the leftfield nature of some of the Carolina's picks. For comparison, here's what's showing in Los Angeles, Seattle, Ft. Lauderdale, and New York. I gotta say that only the Film Forum series makes me green w/ envy. And that's mostly for the silent movies, which are just not gonna get programmed at a theater w/ as small an audience base to draw on as the Carolina. Altho the Stagecoach/Red River double bill would be pretty awesome to see on the big screen.
Anyway, the shows at the Carolina get started on Monday with Dr. No.
...good times
