Have you seen Evil Dead 2...Yet?

In High Fidelity, Rob and Barry have a conversation about Evil Dead 2 that's not REALLY about Evil Dead 2 (watch it here). It's actually about whether Rob's ex-girlfriend is going to sleep with another guy. Also, Barry seems to be confusing Evil Dead II with its sequel, Army of Darkness.


But all that is beside the point, which is that, just like Barry says, it's a brilliant, funny, violent film, and everyone should see it. And if you've already seen it, you should see it again. In either case, you can see it up on my roof this Thursday, July 28. And I promise that being outdoors 10 stories high is actually significantly cooler than at ground level. So beat the heat while enjoying the movie. Also, for the uninitiated who've never seen ANY of the Evil Dead movies and are afraid of being lost, seeing the first Evil Dead is entirely unnecessary, because Sam Raimi was kind enough to re-shoot a synopsis of the first movie and put it at the beginning. So now you have no excuse. See you Thursday!

Big Trouble, Third Try

Yes, you read that right, we're tempting fate and trying for Big Trouble in Little China again. Either that or I'm doing my part in drought abatement by using this movie to try to coax wet weather into the area.

In any case, I'm determined that we're going to show this movie on the roof this summer, so we'll give it a go on Thursday, July 7, and you can see if I finally manage to make it happen, or if I just keep on tilting at windmills.
