It...So I made it to the Dryden Theatre for this... It was so great, such a wonderful experience. I've had an interest in grindhouse/exploitation/horror/etc for years and seen many many movies, but had never had the actual <b>EXPERIENCE</b>. I've always been enthralled by the actual SCENE, what it may have been like to see a flick on the Deuce, to be in an audience in an actual grindhouse. I can now say that I've come as close as it can get! The film was incredible, it ran the whole gamut as far as one could imagine. Laughable, politically incorrect, performances as stiff as a board, yet at the same time charming and I was very absorbed. The audience was great, laughing, gasping, hooting and hollerin, and I even saw an elderly couple turn their heads to each other, wide-eyed and slackjawed, during a scene where Duke Mitchell basically denounces Catholicism in front of the Pope and tells him it's all BS! Seeing this film on the big screen was an grindhouse lover's dream... the only thing missing was the stench of piss, and I didn't seeing anyone shooting up smack in the theatre!<br /><br />After the film there was also a short but very interesting panel discussion with Bob Murawski and Chris Innis about how they came about finding Gone With the Pope, the cutting/editing/restoration process and also a little bit of history on Duke Mitchell. It really capped off a totally awesome night!<br /><br />See this film as it makes the rounds, you will not be disappointed!!Kung Fu Manchuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15051712740251920768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29213270.post-62869413795500758382010-05-01T02:02:35.235-04:002010-05-01T02:02:35.235-04:00Oh man, I love seeing films at the Eastman House! ...Oh man, I love seeing films at the Eastman House!
