Hennegan's "1st Saturday" Film

[blackthroatedwind]

The best thing I ever saw there was a screening of a movie Al Pacino made with Jerry Orbach called " Chinese Coffee " and I only got in because I ran into a friend of mine, who's connected, and she had tickets. De Niro and Pacino talked beforehand, which was cool, but the whole idea that the public basically can't get in turns me off. It's just too much of a pain in the azz.

I once bought tickets to a screening of a movie with a french actress I really like and she was supposed to be there for a Q&A and the tickets were fairly steep because of this. So, what happens....she doesn't show up. No apology, offer of refunds, just a letter from her and we were supposed to thank her for her consideration. It was preposterous. The movie was good but it also opened a week later and I could have seen it for a quarter of the price.

I don't even bother anymore and only bought tickets for this movie because I figured I might not get a chance to see it and it was available the day the tickets went on sale on-line. Most aren't even available then...and I'm talking the American Express advance sales. It's completely ridiculous.
