Feeling Surprised
Hearing Mariah Carey......I prefer waterboarding!
Video 1: Trailer for "Blade Runner," Harrison Ford's best non-Indy/Hans Solo film....Ok, I forgot about "Witness!"

From Tilly Gokbudak:

Hi kids.
Your's truly just got back from Washington, DC, but it was not a fun trip.
I think of the nation's capital as a place with galleries, museums, theatres and a place to see pandas as well as a city where one can perhaps catch a glimpse of Sen.Trent Lott* shaking hands with evangelist, gun-tooting lobbyists.
But there are lots of bureaucratic entities there we tend to forget about. And, I was stuck at such place for hours today!


Video 2: "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" trailer. I believe my cousin Shanon Sturgis has seen this film 995 times! I've seen it twice.


(*-Lott, a Republican from Mississippi, is actually leaving Congress to become a lobbyist. And, that boys and girls, means he'll make a lot more money!)

So, hence I need to unwind, and since Jason Garnett is now showing the latest Indy flick at the Grandin Theatre in Roanoke, Va., I thought I'd show three 'midnight movie' trailers. Enjoy.....the popcorn and drinks are on us!

Video 3: Trailer for "El Topo" (1970). This film by experimental filmmaker Alexander Jodorowsky is considered to be the definitive midnight movie. WARNING: Even the trailer is NOT for all tastes. If you want to complain about it, write a letter to the man who cleans the elephant cages at The National Zoo.

NOTE: "Blade Runner" is now showing at the AFI Silver Theatre in Silver Spring, Md. (Wash. DC)

"The Rocky Horror Picture Show" will be shown (presumably at midnight) in New York, Atlanta, Charleston, SC, Huntington, WV and Norfolk, Va., among other places. Check for other locales not listed here on the IMDB.
