Dune at the Brattle
posted January 22, 2015 8:19 PM   RSS | iCal | +googleCal

Fri February 27 at 7:00 PM, Brattle Threater
40 Brattle Street, Cambridge, MA, USA (Map & Directions)
The Brattle Theater in Cambridge is playing a series of David Lynch movies from Monday, February 23rd to Thursday, March 5th. Anyone want to go see one of them? I'm interested in Dune and Blue Velvet, since those are playing on the weekend, but would be up for pretty much anything in the series. EDIT: We're going to see Dune on Friday the 27th. I'd rather go at 7:00, but if outvoted, 9:30 is also fine.

I would potentially be interested, mostly in the weekend shows. I would do Dune, And maybe also Twin Peaks.

Blue Velvet, definitely. (I just watched Dune and Twin Peaks on my big small screen.)

I am up for Dune; not sure I've ever seen it on the big screen.

I've been down with sinusitis and I've been distracted by the snow, so I practically forgot about this thread - sorry, everyone.

So that's two votes for Dune and one for Blue Velvet. I see a couple of "maybes" who haven't chimed in: Any thoughts?

Dune on the Hoth planet!

I'd love to see Dune in an actual theater. I don't know about timing, so I'll keep myself as a Maybe, but god willing and the creek don't rise I'll be there. Which show were people thinking of going to?


I also haven't seen Lost Highway or Mulholland Drive, so if anyone else has an interest....


Heck, I also love Blue Velvet like a love letter straight from the heart so I'm a possible on that too.

Dune it is! With the bad weather we've been having, I'm also basically a Maybe, since I'd be coming into town from the suburbs. Hopefully the snow will have thawed a little by the 27th. What screening time would you all prefer? I'd like to go to the 7:00 p.m. show, but if people would prefer the 9:30 screening, then the 9:30 screening is also fine.

7:00 and 9:30 are both okay with me.

sorry, I have been informed that everything has been cancelled forever until further notice

I would go at 7. Maybe the heat of Arakis will melt the snow!

7pm please! I've been away; do you recommend we buy tix ahead of time?
posted by mollymillions at 4:38 PM on February 16, 2015


OK, so that's three votes for 7:00. If people want to go, please state your time preference so we can buy tickets ahead of time: With the crowd the Brattle draws, I wouldn't bet on getting tickets at the box office, even in this weather.

got room for one more? Friday/27 at 7pm works for me.

Rustic, so when you say 'we can buy tix ahead' does that mean you're buying and we're reimbursing you? just want to be clear!
posted by mollymillions at 4:00 PM on February 22, 2015


No, everyone would be buying tickets for themselves. I don't make that much money. Sorry!
posted by Rustic Etruscan at 4:12 PM on February 22, 2015


no probs! happy to buy my own directly. it's been a while; still general admission seating?
posted by mollymillions at 6:27 PM on February 22, 2015


Yep, still general admission. If you buy tickets ahead of time, you pick them up at the box office.

done! i'm attending the 7pm show; hope you all will be too. what is MF IRL etiquette re: recognizing each other?
posted by mollymillions at 7:03 PM on February 23, 2015


I don't know! I'm not sure I'll even get there before the movie starts, since I need to drive in from the suburbs on a Friday and then park on a Friday in Harvard Square in the worst snow the area has had in decades. We could all meet at the counter in the café upstairs from the Brattle Theater itself like we did last time. Thoughts, anyone?
posted by Rustic Etruscan at 8:02 PM on February 23, 2015


the café sounds like a good meeting place, and I can get there before the film starts. seeya there!

ok, cafe upstairs it is! my profile contains my photo...

Bumping this to remind everyone that this is today. Even in the parking garage, parking will be horrible, but I'll see you all when I get there!
posted by Rustic Etruscan at 9:21 AM on February 27, 2015


I'm going to have to switch to "No" — I've got a nasty cough that just won't stay quiet. Enjoy it, and thanks to RE for organizing.

Bummer, man. Next time!

Is anybody still up for Blue Velvet tomorrow night?
posted by cocoagirl at 1:20 PM on February 27, 2015


y'all i am assuming the cafe is Cafe Algiers, which is where I am...

Terrible traffic on Storrow ramp. Only getting onto Storrow now.
posted by Rustic Etruscan at 3:28 PM on February 27, 2015


… and now terrible traffic at the bridge to Harvard Square. Definitely will not make it before the movie starts.
posted by Rustic Etruscan at 3:44 PM on February 27, 2015


Hasn't started yet. We're sitting right by the door. Saving a seat for you with my bright red coat.

No problem! Thanks for showing up, everybody!
