(Will ignore for the moment the security nightmare that a 38-screen premiere is guaranteed to be.)
And the (Homeland) security nightmare that a "special moment" at the Empire State Bldg. is guaranteed to be.
I would be there right now.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
This may be a stupid question. How visible is the Empire State Building from Times Square?

I have no idea how they're going to get a giant ape on top of the Empire State Building.
They've done a giant inflatable ape before.

Hey. New board.
This may be a stupid question. How visible is the Empire State Building from Times Square?
Pretty much not. The other buildings tend to get in the way.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Yeah, I suspect the "special moment" will be for the television crews and the fans who didn't get invited to the party.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So I went and saw Cat People at a nearby arthouse theater. Yahoo Movies said it was the 1982 remake with Nastassia Kinski. They lied. It was the 1942 original. Which I had never seen, and was good. All psychological and stuff. But unlike the remake, less nekkid.

OH YEAH! Val Lewton, man. Incredible filmmaker. If you liked his Cat People, tommyrot, I highly recommend his Bedlam, starring Bela Lugosi. Good shit.

Wow, that's like paying for hamburger steak and being given filet mignon prepared by a master chef instead.

Yeah, pretty much.
Although I still want the hamburger - maybe on DVD.
