    We don't need you to make us do bad thing while we're drunk.

    We're perfectly capable of doing bad things on our own

    if it comes down to it, i'd gladly go to whatever theater we're planning on and speak with the manager/owner to explain to them that we don't exactly intend on "turning off our cell phones." i'm sure i could get a closed show so nobody would complain, i can be pretty persuasive. just let me know.

    Regarding Second-Run theaters (the discount ones): the only one I can think of is the Crest up in North Seattle. It's a good 45 minute busride away from PAX.

    The Cinerama would definetly be the theater of choice. Give enough time to line up before the show (probably a half hour), and there should be plenty of room for everyone. However, they only show one movie at a time, decidedly limiting our movie selection.

    An educated guess would say that the movie during PAX weekend could well be The Dark Knight, as it'll be out around that time and they generally show the big summer blockbusters (i.e., Transformers, Pirates of the Caribbean, Spider-Man 2/3).

    This place does look freaking sweet though. Second run or not it definitely looks awesome. I really would prefer anything but being escorted out of a Mall by security.

    Man, making a spectacle of yourselves and acting like dicks at a place like the Cinerama isn't cool. They're one of the few theaters in the US actually equipped to show 70mm films and other movies in weird aspect ratios. It's a place people go to watch and enjoy a movie, especially if it's a classic, not have it ruined by a bunch of drunks.

    Oh, if it's a drunken good time, then yeah... we'd be better off terrorizing the Meridian 16 or Pacific Place. The Cinerama/Egyptian/Harvard Exit and the like are not for us.

    And the Meridian 16 is a strong cough away from the Convention Center. And Gameworks is right below it. It couldn't be more perfect.

    I'm no expert... but you should really talk to your doctor about that....

    As for the topic at hand, while I liked that theater when I was there. It wasn't the cheapest thing around, and if there's a chance of getting kicked out. Then why pay 10 dollars for maybe 1/4 of the movie?

    Regarding the worry that we'll go into some theater that the audience may not enjoy our mockery of whatever movie is chosen: Perhaps we could call ahead to the theater and give them an estimate of our group so that they can determine whether or not it would be beneficial for them to grant us a private showing of our own? Just a thought.

    This may be a horrific idea, but going off of the whole rent-a-theater concept, what about the IMAX?

    Yes the pacific science center is far away and the tickets are gonna be a bit expensive, but if The Dark Knight is coming out around then, it'll be on that BIG screen for sure. I have a feeling we could fill the place, and its super sound-proofed. Though I'm not sure how flexible they'd be on the late hours and general sobriety of the crowd.

    Any takers?

    ohhhhhh i forgot about that. though there's two things to it:

    1) Not sure how late the service runs (as in, could it get us all back at 3 am?)

    2) The monorail is ALWAYS breaking. Its function only about half the time, so it's not the most reliable.


    otherwise i'm totally game

    Sorry that this isn't really a suggestion, but I want to share something. Last week, I went to see Harold and Kumar Escape.... in theatres, and there was this trailer for a movie about three highschool guys who spend the weekend at a college (I think the movie is called "College"?). At the end of the trailer, the screen read:
    "Best. Weekend. Ever.
    August 29th"

    And I thought to myself, "How very true".

    I just want to throw out there that Repo! The Genetic Opera has Bill Mosely, Nivek Ogre, Sarah Brightman, Paris Hilton, and Joan Jet on the cast list all singing opera to industrial music. Now I'm sure some of the names are familiar you all, but if you're aware of all of them then you'd have to agree that this has got to be the biggest "what the fuck?!" moment in all of movie history.
