Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “Deep Red came out when Argento was at the top of his game (Susperia was his next film after this), so I kinda want to see this.” Blaine says, “I just have to go with StarTalk for this one. If you are in doubt, listen to the podcast and hear for yourself.”
>> One screening of [Cheech and Chong’s Up in Smoke] movie produced more concession sales than the eight regular screenings of other movies that night combined.
Given how many theaters survive on concessions, I am amazed this isn’t a monthly/weekly feature at ever theater.
On the DVD of Gotham by Gaslight (which was fantastic), there was an extended preview of Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay. It looked really cool. They’ve done it in a pseudo-Grindhouse style. I’ll be picking it up.
