The Rev.

I’d forgotten the Fu Manchu movie at III, but sure enough it’s there in my write-up on the old forum.

Mystics in Bali didn’t screen at V due to issues with the DVD player not wanting its particular region. That’s why we showed Sugar Hill instead, leading to many people wanting to convert to Voodoo so they could hang with Baron Samedi.

I wish I could’ve been there from the beginning, but finally seeing the line-up of the mysterious 2nd T-Fest…MAN. I’ve only seen one of those, two of them I’ve only heard of because people who were there mentioned them, and two I’d never heard of until just now.

I can’t believe I went to six of these things already. Where’s the time go?
Elizabeth

Tonight we watched the Japanese cut of Gojira. Charles hadn’t seen it at all, and I’d seen the American cut with Raymond Burr.

I thought the American cut was better mainly because it was 16 minutes shorter. The subplots and whatnot in the Japanese version were good for their time, and definitely got into the whole Pandora’s-box question, but the American version wins the prize for good pacing.
Henry

That’s interesting, Elizabeth, since I’ve always wanted to see the Japanese cut. The American version was, of course, prevalent when I watched it as a kid on TV back in the 60s. I don’t feel so bad, now :)

Favorites: Double Agent ’73, Four Skulls of Jonathan Drake, Land Unknown, Harrad Experiment (Zoom!), Witch’s Curse, Sugar Hill, The Room.

Yes, most of those were movies I choose to show. But really, that just makes sense.

Speaking of Gojira:
just a heads-up for anybody in or near the Catskills of NYS this weekend. The Paramount Theater in Middletown is having a showing on Saturday night, Aug. 20th.

I was planning on attending, but can’t swing the schedule. As a consolation our family will be viewing the DVD, but, man, I’d love to see that one on the big screen
Mr. Rational

According to my secret sources, the lineup for T-Fest VII will be:

The Last Movie (ironically, first on the schedule)
The Hippie Revolt (documentary)
Gas-s-s-s
Skidoo
The Trial of Billy Jack
The Apple
Zabriskie Point
Ericb

Are those all hippie movies? That sounds like torture.
TongoRad

Play The Way to Eden as an intermezzo, and I’d be all for it!
Ken Begg

Mr. Rational —

You’re partly right. It’s Trial of Billy Jack, but since that movie is ten hours long, it’s the only thing on the bill.
Sandy Petersen

I watched TRIAL OF BILLY JACK at the damn drive-in theatre. Never have I been so betrayed. I would have happily shot a crippled kid with a pet donkey to have been allowed to leave.
Petoht

Trial sounds like perfect drive-in fare. At least, if you’re with your best girl. Then you wouldn’t be tempted to pay more attention to the movie than her.

Kind of like when I “saw” Jurassic Park III at the drive in.
Sandy Petersen

I didn’t have a date at said drive-in. I did note that the film blamed the Vietnam War on Richard Nixon’s desire to sell heroin to our soldiers. That was an eye-opener.
