This year marks the 25th year anniversary of Spike Lee's Do The Right Thing. Community Theaters have been showing the film in tribute. We left a comment on the MySpace of the Long Beach Art Theater. I thought that if you too would like to see this film on the big screen that you could also leave them a comment... myspace.com/arttheatrelongbeach

BTW - The Art Theater got back to me via MySpace and said they dug the idea of playing Do The Right Thing, and would let us know... so, we'll see what happens...

Oh yeah! I heard about that from Chuck D's Radio Show - I agree! Funny that's also where I heard about The Do The Right Thing anniversary...

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. That movie is epic. Long, but good. I want Benjamin Button as a friend

I think it'd be fun to see all of the movies filmed in Long Beach!

that's a good one too... fully filmed in LB or just any scene or reference?

My choice would be - BATMAN. Not the one with Christian Bale but the one with Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson. I saw this movie as a kid and for me it was a revelation, a calling that I wanted to somehow; some way be involved in film. Be it writing, producing, directing, editing or all the above.

BTW, it'll be 20 years this summer that this movie was released and set BO records.

The Man... I sent them a follow-up suggestion for Spike Lee's Movie to see if they will include it along with an ethnic artist via their FB page, since I've given up on using MySpace....hope to here something soon.

Pulp Fiction and Grease will be fun to watch at the Art.
