Grandin Theatre to Show New Indy @ Midnight!!!
To celebrate the opening of "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of Crystal Skull," I am paying homage to one of the so many god-awful mid-80s low budget films "Raiders of the Lost Ark" undoubtedly influenced.
And, there are few films that are as bad as "Hercules" with Lou Ferrigno (TV-s Hulk).....Hope you enjoyed that trailer....(It's better than the film!).
Alas, I saw "Hercules" on the small screen, but I'm not sure it lost much of its impact! The film also features Sybil Danning, who made some interesting films with titles I have long forgotten.
This leads us to the new Indy with the senior citizen Harrison Ford in the lead.
It will be shown at midnight on Wednesday at the Grandin Theatre in Roanoke, Va., where my friend Jason Garnett will show off the original Indy whip which was bought for $2.2 million on e-bay and donated to the Grandin Theatre Foundation (THIS IS A JOKE! But, they will start the movie right at midnight, so you can see it before your 11-year-old nephew who has to go to South Salem Elementary in the morning).
The film will also be showing (starting Friday) at the Eden Drive-in in Eden, NC, for my friends 'south of the border.'
One of those friends is Christopher Knight.
