AICN and The Alamo Drafthouse present 5-25-77 Screening! Time To Remember The Early Days!
Hey folks, Harry here -- Ya know - June is a helluva month to be a geek in Austin, Texas. As the original Alamo Drafthouse begins it's joyous celebratory march to being a mythological cinematic Valhalla... the great fun film events just keep coming - and AICN has been helping them line up.
This time, it's Patrick Read Johnson's passion project... 5-25-77. Now those of you that live in the AICN Chat Room... and several of you talkbackers know Patrick from his posts and chats via the moniker of MOONWATCHER... well, he's been fighting to get this movie made for the last billion years and it's finally done. In fact it premiered on 5-25-07 at Star Wars Celebration in Los Angeles... and its second stop is right here in Austin, Texas!!!! This is gonna be great.
Produced by Gary Kurtz, producer of... well, you don't need me to tell you. You're a geek, shit like that is stamped in the eternal weavings of your neural network. And it's all about that amazing period in advance of the release of STAR WARS in 77... when being a geek was a true minority. The largest assembly of common geeks was with Classic Trek, Logan's Run and old Movie Serials. Patrick was there... This is his story... He remembers the way it was - and for all of us children of the Seventies... and for all of you that have been raised on the aftermath of it all... this is OUR film... and this is a great opportunity to not only see it, but to meet the filmmakers and celebrate what it is to be us.
