I think one of my favorite things about “The Last Starfighter” is Robert Preston basically playing an intergalactic version of Prof. Harold Hill from “The Music Man”.

Punch Drunk Love is a nightmare…SOOOOOOOOOO boring and painful. It's like a toothache. Self-indulgent nonsense.

Brazil was one of those films that I followed intensely -- mostly because of my affection for Python and Gilliam's post-Python career. I saw it at the now defunct Festival Theatre in Walnut Creek, CA (Which was torn down to because they put in a McCovey's restaurant http://www.mccoveys.com/), but I really wanted to see Gilliam's version -- and not the theatrical release. When I finally did see his version, I was kind of disappointed.

But Barton Fink didn't disappoint me. Rather, I thought it was a wonderfully demented trip!

The Varsity was a revival house, then it became a first-run Cineplex Odeon theater showing mostly second-tier stuff–then it went under. We did see FINDERS KEEPERS (poor Richard Lester) but I don't know if that was its final night. I also recall seeing HARDBODIES and doing Siskel & Ebert commentary with you.

I remember seeing “The Right Stuff” with you there … along with several others before it became a revival house itself, and then a dinosaur. Is it just a legend grown over 25-odd years, or did we actually attend the Varsity's last night as a first-run theater, when it was playing “Finders Keepers” or some such piece of sheeeeeeeit?
