The least HBO could do is shell out for movies from this Century… *sigh*
Or at least color moving pictures. What’s next? Subtitles? Silent movies?
** Insert joke about foreign, black and white, subtitled porno – The 400 Blows (for the irony-imparied) **
Yeah, like anything with Adam Sandler, or American Pie 2, good recent stuff like that?
It’s disappointing that they’re not showing The Human Centipede.
I’m appreciative they shell out for any movies at all.
jack5: What??? These are really great movies. Go see them. If you have any appreciation for good film making you won’t be disappointed.
Jack5, are you new to D.C.?
I’ve never been to Screen on the Green, but if I remember correctly, the selection is _always_ “classic” films.
While I understand they are usually classic movies do you think they could have put a little more… I don’t know… “color” on the screen? I mean, this is pathetic!
Wow. Entitlement mentality.
Is “It Happened One Night” happening on a Monday or Wednesday? June 25th is a Monday, not a Wednesday.
My mistake, I read that too quickly. Disregard!
