Author Topic: Frankenstein at the Loew's Jersey Stephen Furley Film God Posts: 3059 From: Coulsdon, Croydon, England Registered: May 2002 posted 04-20-2003 11:47 AM                     Anyone else going to the Frankenstein screenings next Saturday and Sunday (26th and 27th)? If so, come and say 'hello'. I will be in the queue outside before the show, and in the lobby during the interval, and will be wearing a red and gold Loew's Jersey shirt. Always glad to meet others from here, I think I've met seven of you now, Bob Furmanek, Bernie Anderson Jr., Leo Enticknap, Darren Briggs, Bernard Tomks, Ben Wales and Peter Hall, so there're quite a few still to go!  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 04-21-2003 06:28 PM                     Stephen Will you be bring that doll to the show. Or is she taking a holiday with Michael? I may be there on one of those days.

She's four now, and every day that goes past she gets a day older, so hopefully she will soon understand that 45 year olds do not play with baby dolls. Have you been to the Loew's before? Hope you can make it to one of the shows, but I won't know what you look like, you don't have a photo.  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 04-21-2003 07:29 PM                     Shephen No I have not had a chance to go see the Loew's Jersey yet. I get these film makers that like to spoil some of my weekends with last minute screenings. But this weekend looks clear so far. No I haven't got a picture ready yet. Of me not at a company party. But soon So beware of a guy wearing a black THX hat. I heard he maybe asking for change outside the theatre. Bill Does that mean tiny tears is with Michael???  |  IP: Logged Claude S.

I remember seeing this when I was a little boy and recall being very frightened. The movie was released on DVD several years ago and I think it is now out of print because it is very hard to find. I was told used copies are going for over a hundred dollars on ebey and I am happy I still own a copy. -Claude  |  IP: Logged Stephen Furley Film God Posts: 3059 From: Coulsdon, Croydon, England Registered: May 2002 posted 04-22-2003 01:43 AM                     Claude, Take a look web page That version, plus lots more.  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA. USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-22-2003 05:27 AM                        There's a reasonable chance that I may make it there for at least one of the days this weekend (probably Sunday), though I might not know for sure until the end of the week. I'll post again if/when I know I'll make it.  |  IP: Logged Mitchell Dvoskin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1869 From: West Milford, NJ, USA Registered: Jan 2001 posted 04-22-2003 09:19 AM                     Be sure to stop up to the booth and say hello... /Mitchell  |  IP: Logged Stephen Furley Film God Posts: 3059 From: Coulsdon, Croydon, England Registered: May 2002 posted 04-22-2003 05:02 PM                     Going to bed in a few minutes, and I won't have time to log in tomorrow morning before I leave for the airport. I will check before Saturday to see if there have been any more replies. Hope to see some of you there.  |  IP: Logged Claude S.

If only I was filthy rich and had my very own private jet, I would be at these exciting events like the FRANKENSTEIN" film festival in New Jersey and meet many of you in a heart's beat! -Claude  |  IP: Logged Tom Doyle Expert Film Handler Posts: 176 From: Bristol, CT, USA Registered: Nov 2002 posted 04-22-2003 09:28 PM                     For those of you going to the Loew's films this weekend, you may also want to stop by at Chiller Theatre's Spring 2003 Expo: www.chillertheatre.com This is a sci-fi/horror convention in East Rutherford, right near Jersey City and the Loew's Theatre. (Did they plan this?) A friend of mine will be at the Expo to unveil a full-size fiberglass replica of The Creature From The Black Lagoon. Julie Adams (the female lead from the first movie) and Ben Chapman (who played the Creature in all the surface scenes in the first movie) will be there, as well as many other guest stars - check out the guest list on the website. I had not planned on heading down to NJ that weekend, but with both going on, maybe I can find some free time this weekend.  |  IP: Logged Mitchell Dvoskin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1869 From: West Milford, NJ, USA Registered: Jan 2001 posted 04-23-2003 08:30 AM                     While there is no direct connection between Chiller and the Loews Jersey, this weekend was picked for the Frankenstein shows specifically because of Chiller, and the many out of area people that Chiller brings in. Last year when we ran out SciFi shows, we promoted the Chiller show on our web site and they allowed us to hand out flyers at their show. I'm not sure anything so formal is happening this year. /Mitchell  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA. USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-26-2003 09:28 AM                        It looks like I'll be at the Loews Jersey for the shows on Sunday afternoon. I'll probably be wearing a Film-Tech shirt and will be the annoying one taking pictures and asking questions. Is anyone else besides Stephen (and maybe Bill) planning to be there?  |  IP: Logged Stephen Furley Film God Posts: 3059 From: Coulsdon, Croydon, England Registered: May 2002 posted 04-26-2003 11:29 AM                     I had a quick look in the Auditorium on Thursday evening. No great change since October, but the shell of the organ console is now in place. Hope to see some of you there, Stephen.  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA. USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-28-2003 11:06 AM                        For what it's worth, I had a great time at the show on Sunday and enjoyed meeting Stephen, Bob, Mitchell, and Bernie there! For those who haven't been, I highly recommend checking out the Loews Jersey. The restoration is still very much in progress, but the building is fantastic and has a great deal of potential. They have done a number of interesting film programs featuring rare material that isn't likely to be shown in any other theatre.  |  IP: Logged
