For you LA based Buck Rogers fans....
 

Hey everyone -

Remember when American Cinematheque had a screening of Battlestar Galactica in LA a while back? Well, they are doing it again - with Buck Rogers! Here's the official blurb:


The American Cinematheque and Cinefantastique Magazine are sponsoring a screening of the Buck Rogers in the 25th Century theatrical feature (the Gil Gerard version) at the Egyptian Theater in Hollywood. This special presentation begins at 5:00 pm on Saturday, August 14th and is part of the Cinematheque's 5th Annual Festival of Fantasy, Horror & Science Fiction.

A panel discussion will follow the screening. Executive producer Glen Larson, costume designer Jean-Pierre Dorliac and visual effects artist Peter Anderson are all tentatively scheduled to appear. We are also planning a prop and costume display.

Hmmm....I wonder if I could make it down to LA for this? The tough bit is getting tickets - although they are available 30 days in advance. If I remember correctly, the only way to get them is by mail, faxm or in person...

Anyone in the LA area interested?

Best,
Bryan

Bryan,

Don't they have a website, where you can order tickets? You'd probably have them in less than a week.

Pete -

Believe it or not, they don't.... You have to be a member of Cinematheque (50 bucks) to get them by mail. I could do the fax thing, but I was hoping to get someone interested to go with. Like I said, you have to get them in person, by fax, or by mail.

I've heard that our Tommy is a big Buck Rogers fan....! I wanted to go being that Glen Larson is going to be there for a Q&A session after the film is over. Wouldn't it be fun to ask Papa Larson as to his plans for the movie rights?

Best,
Bryan

over here!

Seriously, I could go... but I'm not really interested in it. I was wondering how much this would cost. To be honest I already have much of Buck on tape. But if the tickets are like only $10 or $15 I might.

I'm not that close to where it will be playing. And its like 110 degrees and two hours driving to get the tickets.

:)

Tom -

I didn't realize that you lived that far from LA - someone told me you lived in the immediate area. I know what you mean about the drive - I'm going to be coming down from Sacramento early that day and then drive back up after the Q&A. The tickets are only 9 dollars apiece for non-members. If you're not really interested, I don't want to place you into feeling obligated. I think that I might know one or two other people, but I will have to chase them up.

I was planning on driving down to San Diego for Comicon - I could pick them up in LA on the way back to Sacramento as an alternate means of getting them.

Best,
Bryan

WHINE WHINE WHINE! LOL! God your sounding old! ;) :D
I remember when stuff like that was an adventure!
like when I came accross Canada in a car I bought for 150 dollars I had 7 birds, 2 cats and a hampster in the back seat of the car, a U-haul behind us and 3 thousand miles ahead of us and we knew no one at the other end had no place to live no job and less than a thousand dollars to our name...ah the good old days!:D

I am old! :D


I'm turning into an old wet rag! Oh man... Bryan, I can't believe that you want to DRIVE from Sacramento for this!!!!!! You must really LOVE Buck!

you and I are the same age Thomas!! I'm *not* old!:D


or Gemini is very young at heart!:D *He* doesn't mind driving all that way sounds like more than 2 hours to me....

Rowan -

It's about a 5-1/2 hour drive each way - I admit, it was the spirit of the adventure that got me to thinking about it. Last year, two friends and I went to LA and back to pick up an SUV-load of model tanks that one of the friends purchased. We made it down and back (with food and gas stops) in only 12 hours. It was kind of a fun trip and it went really fast. My buddy, Terry did the drive down and I did the drive back - of course driving his Ford Expedition isn't the same as driving my Ford Escape!

It was the fact that such a trip could be made in a relatively short time that made me feel like doing it again.

Tom - I am a big fan of the Buck Rogers movie - not so much the series. I would love to see it on the big screen again - I missed the screenings of BSG and Space:1999 at the Egyptian, but I really don't want to pass on this one. The funny thing is, I just watched the movie about a week ago, but I didn't know about the showing until earlier this week.

I really do want the chance to ask Papa Larson about his BSG film rights and what he intends to do with them...

Later,
Bryan

I hate to tell you but you need to report to the twacking thread...(I can't believe Rowan didn't tell you!) Warrior made us all report there the last time we went through that line.(feeling old)



It is in the Galactica cafe section
Now report there immediately!!!!!

Gemini who are you interested in seeing when you are there?

Good call Julix!;) :D

:cry:

Rowan -

I have a brother that lives in San Diego, plus I wanted to go see Richard Hatch and his Second Coming & Magellan trailers. I also wanted to chat up Aaron Douglas for a bit - he's going to be there too! You never know who else will show up....
