Backyard movies starting up again
Last Friday we broke out the big screen and digital projector again and started playing movies in the backyard.
Friday night started with Revenge of the Sith for the kids.
Saturday night I had a couple of friends over and a couple of strangers from the Classic Horror Film Board, Doctor 1313 and Modpro. My pal Jon Fedele played some piano before we started -- Godzilla's march, the Monster Zero theme, some El Cid and other epics. My pal TRS added to the festive atmosphere. We had some candy, popcorn, soda, beer. The movie of the night, Rabid, honored the recently deceased Marilyn Chambers. Also popped in a short "The Genie" with Forest J. Ackerman to remember him. Good times were had all around.
Sunday night we watched the 2003 Peter Pan, a pretty good movie.
Monday night, Princess Bride. Classic.
Tuesday night, The Spiderwick Chronicles. Fun movie!
Starting again tonight, what will it be? I'm thinking of the silent Lost World...but who knows by the time we begin.
Backyard landscaping is going slowly. There are sprinklers now and the beginnings of grass, stepping stones and some solar lights. A rock garden is in progress too.
