Here's further proof that everything bad happens on Wednesday. I went to the Ambler Theater's annual Three Stooges screening last year and had a blast. Coming from a family of Stooges fans, we decided we had to make it a tradition. This year, we even got my aunt and her friend, who also love the Stooges, to come with us. We had all been looking forward to this all summer. We take a half-hour drive down to Ambler, and barely get two or three feet into the theater when I hear someone shout, "THE THREE STOOGES IS SOLD OUT!" Three months of anticipation shot down in two seconds. :mad::(:mad:

We went home and watched some Stooge shorts off the DVDs, which was fun, but the big screen is the big screen.

So if any of my fellow Philadelphians were at the Ambler and saw the show tonight, well...um...try not to screw me like that next year.;)

Then, make a point to attend Saturday's 10AM - 3PM open house at the Stoogeum (http://www.stoogeum.com). Shorts will be screened in the museum's 85-seat theater. It's located about a mile north of the Ambler Theatre, off Bethlehem Pike.

Hmm...I don't know what our schedule is on Saturday, but thanks a lot for the heads-up!

Interesting they're still a thing to see the Three Stooges on the big screen. Don't expect that sort of thing in my hometown.

I have never seen any classics in a theater. It's all in where you live.

I have a few times, course that was long ago and it's hard to think of them as 'classics' in an era of digital projection and other doo-hickeys they do employ. Once I went up to Ann Arbor to see a film at a theater there that used a silent, sepia-toned print with organ accompaniment. I could never get that locally.
