It was wonderful ... I went to the opening of Buckaroo Banzai at the
Nuart in West Los Angeles last Friday, and you would have loved it.
It was a midnight showing, and was on the big day of our recent 2.5"
rainfall here. We were all standing out in the pouring rain, some with
umbrellas, waiting happily. Really bizarre. Unfortunately I got there
too late for the freebie Team Banzai head-bands that were passed out earlier.
It was bizarre. When they let everybody in (10 minutes after the movie was
supposed to start) it was like a big party. I saw two guys in Perfect
Tommy costumes, one dressed as Reno Nevada, three with a red cowboy shirt
with detachable front like New Jersey's, and one guy with a silver coat
JUST LIKE John Parker's (the black Lectroid who looked like a Rastafarian).
They delayed the start of the movie for another 1/2 hour (about), giving
everybody a chance to see all the other weird drenched people around them ...
we were all standing by our seats looking around.
During the movie, people were generally good about letting people hear it.
However, during favorite lines a number of people would chime in: "Laugh-a
while you can, Monkey Boy." was done in excellent unison, while "It's not
my god-damned planet. Understand, Monkey Boy?" was almost universally
botched by people who forgot the "Understand". However, the audience was
universally unified for Lord John Whorfin's marvelous harangue, and responded
correctly in the litany:
Where are we going? Planet 10!
When? Real soon!
You had to be there...
