uhh...sure....but I gotta finish this military thing first....

but I'm dead serious about the possibilities....the only question is where to do it....New Orleans is my home, so I'd love to do it there...but so many uncertainties.....

Purple Rain was a fun movie to watch but it WAS pretty silly though.
The Witches of Eastwick and Ruthless People were pretty hilarious.

You can always startup small venues in two different locations (cities)? (just a thought)

reneGade20 said:

New Orleans would be a great place to do it. But you might have some competition if a place like that already exists. These small theaters do best with grassroots efforts, a good email list, special events -- so it becomes a kind of a scene. And of course, excellent programming so you get all the hardcore filmgoers for repeat business (that's where I come in )

My name is "Gladiator".

Well like I'm thinking, the one that I'm talking about was either already closed prior to or destroyed by Katrina, so it would be a revival of sorts....and I'd need a strong programmer so as long as you keep your tukkus on the org, I'll keep you in mind.....

this thing is shaping up....I kind of look at it as being in the embryonic stage.....

gosh, where to begin...

I'm not sure a movie will ever top this one for me:
