Wet Hot American Summer!!!!!

f yeah

YES PLS.

aaay, you're making me look bad here Charlie! in front of the girls over here!

Wow, that's the most boring, un-adventurous, played-out line-up of movies I've seen in a long time. Really? Really? You didn't think you could put up at least one or two films that not every hipster has seen and memorized and bored me to death with reciting?

Remember when you played The Swimmer? Or how about Love Streams? Or Style Wars? And Night of the Hunter? At least it seemed like you were trying then...

I'd even settle for something horrible, say The Adventures of Ford Fairlane. Cause to look at this schedule "...is like masturbating with a cheese-grater. Slightly amusing, but mostly painful."

xoxo

actually, i'd enjoy watching you masturbate with that cheese-grater. can you do that before each movie?

July 8: Rushmore
July 15: The Virgin Suicides

sigh...back to back? that's honestly what we have to put up with? two effin hipster staples in a row? throw up some fellini or truffaut or godard and teach these little bedford punks a lesson in film. damn.

wow
arent we high and mighty
last time i checked, regardless of the hipster factor, rushmore and virgin suicides are both great movies

you don't have to go if you don't want to see those movies again.

^^virgin suicides, yeah, that's a fine movie...but it's so played out and cliched. and rushmore, yeah, not bad too, but same issue. everyone at that damn pool will have seen these films four hundred times over. come on, don't dumbdown just cause it's summer at the pool. throw us a bone of intellect. and yes, d.lynch is a fab choice.

VELVET! GOLDMINE!

"throw up some fellini or truffaut or godard and teach these little bedford punks a lesson in film. damn."

Rushmore is far better than anything Godard ever made. There's your lesson.

^^^hahaha, that's funny. i mean, it's stupidity personified, but i still find it funny.

"Rushmore is far better than anything Godard ever made. There's your lesson."

comedy gold.

don't say please, fuck head!

please

i'll send you a love letter...straight from my heart, fucker.

you know what a love letter is, fucker?

it's a bullet from a fuckin' gun, fucker.

you receive a love letter from me, you're fucked forever.

you understand, fuck?

Awww, Frankie. You're such a cuddly little sweet ass when you say the F word. Bye Bye, Baby.

The movies are sort of besides the point. Drinking BYO in the pool on a beautiful day with your girlfriend's head in your lap while watching a movie you know well (which because the screen kind of sucks is key) is totally awesome.

If you are bitching you probably haven't gone. I had a blast doing this last summer.

Desperately Seeking Susan > Godard. (Kind of the same movie as "Breathless," but with Rosanna Arquette in the bathtub.)

Richard Gere version > Godard version

I had your girlfriend's head in my lap last summer and had a blast as well.

DADDY WANTS TO FUCKKKK

how about porn?
everyone likes porn, right? would someone on this board bitch if they had a summer of porn at the pool?

The Pier 54 movies are better:
* better screen
* better backdrop
* not in williamsburg with skinny jeans hipsters

the brooklyn bridge park movies are better than the pier 54 movies.

"would someone on this board bitch if they had a summer of porn at the pool?"

That's a sarcastic rhetorical question, right?

But to answer the question, there are different kinds of porn, and I don't mean just straight vs. gay.

I'd only be into FTM bestial stuff, personally. The setting would be inappropriate for much else.

LSD

i like porn. yes, please, bring on the porn!

I liked 28 DAYS LATER as much as the next, but... seems pretty fucking out of place here...

Then again, considering it's Brooklyn, it's only fitting that all the movies are recent. Poseurs.

I'm surprised JUNO isn't on the bill.

Pierrot le fou would have been a genius choice

starting in the 70s, many struggling drive-ins started showing porn to stay in business.
this is far from those hard times, but I think porn at the pool sounds like a good business model.

fuckyea!

Rushmore is a great film to show but madonna that's where I draw the line. I'd like to see the crowd that desperately seeking susan draws...

ITS EVEN MORE HIPSTER TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS LINE-UP BEING HIPSTER!!!! NO ONE WANTS TO BE BORED TO DEATH WATCHING FELLINIS 8-1/2

>NO ONE WANTS TO BE BORED TO DEATH WATCHING FELLINIS 8-1/2

but of course. as you have the attention span of, what, a five year old?

WHAT'S WITH THE TBS LINE-UP.

Tango and Cash

Godard?

only hipsters and old people watch that shit

ANY WHICH WAY BUT LOOSE.

I MEAN EVERY.

ANY IS GOOD TOO, DON'T GET ME WRONG.

WHICH WAY YOU CAN, THAT IS... NOT BUT LOOSE.

FUCK IT. DOUBLE FEATURE!

damn, you're all complaining so much about something that's free and that you're not required to go to!
quit your bitching and just stay home in your apartment that mommy and daddy pay for and watch a movie from netflix.

and yay for the l magazine for putting this on...i'm looking forward to going to some of these!

"watch a movie from netflix"

Nuts! If you don't have an Apple TV and rent high-def movies from iTunes, you're ghetto.

Godard?

only hipsters and old people watch that shit

^^and only idiots make generalizations like that

I vote for "Man Bites Dog"

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103905/

ps - i've never seen virgin suicides, wet hot american summer, mean streets or velvet goldmine.

Man Bites Dog is one of my favorite movies of all time. Velvet Goldmine is one of my least favorite. Mean Streets is good. That is all.

god, how many times have we seen 28 Days Later already? Thats the one flick I would drop. Maybe Desperately Seeking Susan as well.

I've had a great time at the movies the last two summers, no matter what they play.
It is nice to leave the house on a Tuesday evening, meet up with friends, lay on a blanket under the stars, drink cheap wine and chill out.

(Wet Hot American Summer reminds me of working at summer camp.) ^_^

This line up is wrong.

band line up for the early bbq:

5:00 mattison
6:00 a million years
7:00 the king left

yea i really dont see how you can complain about this. obviously there exist better films than the ones on the list but that seems far from the purpose of this event. the anon calling for godard should probly just watch breathless at home i mean a "hipster punk" isn't going to learn something about film by watching it on a screen that you must admit isnt great while drinking and being surrounded by drunk people. its meant to be fun and watching fun movies we all know (and like) makes sense. maybe virgin suicides doesnt fit that bill but by this point its cult enough to be enjoyable regardless.

What's the deal with the showing of Mean Streets? I've seen it listed for tomorrow night (Tuesday July 28th) and also for August 5th?

Is it playing tomorrow night? One official schedule says so, another official source doesn't.....

Anyone know the real deal?
