    Labyrinth on the big screen this weekend in Illinois

    Well, they did use an old reel, unfortunately! At the start of the film there was a weird purple cloud hovering on the screen, and people were laughing. Luckily it went away after about 3 minutes, and the rest of the movie looked pretty good. There was a nice surprise, though... The announcer...

    Labyrinth on the big screen this weekend in Illinois

    I'm not sure if it's going to be from the Blu-Ray, but I hope so! Sometimes seeing retro films on the big screen is a disappointment if they use an old and scratchy reel. :concern:

Obviously the show reached a lot of people around the world in the 80s...

    I've been excited about this event for the past few weeks, and I'm definitely planning to attend, but... there is currently no mention of it on the St. Louis library website! When I looked at the site last week, the event description was there, but just now I went back to look at it again and I...

    Speaking of the Muppets Take Manhattan on the big screen... Is anyone here going to see the film at the Gene Siskel Film Center in Chicago? It's playing on November 8th at 2PM and November 9th at 6PM. I just saw today in the paper that the "Muppets, Music, and Magic: Henson's Legacy" events...
