Screen on da Green

Yes, our time honored tradition of stealing ideas from other cities continues this summer as Atlanta’s Screen on the Green will be held in Centennial Park. Have you seen the line-up this year? I can’t wait! (sarcasm)

• May 29 – Jaws (Not bad, a little nudity at the beginning if, like myself, you’ve got a sharp eye for that sort of thing. I would much rather see Jaws 3-D)
• June 5 – Big Momma’s House (Pardon my French, but what the fuck??)
• June 12 – Chicago (Meh)
• June 19 – E.T. (Can’t go wrong with E.T. if you’re looking to entertain kids who can’t sit still and watch a movie anyway. Probably wouldn’t like it unless you replaced E.T. with Pikachu. Are we even taking kids to this thing? I mean, we did start things off with a movie about a killer shark…)
• June 26 – Viewer’s Choice : Footloose, Back to the Future, or Rocky (I’ve seen Rocky a million times, but it’s not something I’d want to watch while sitting on the grass in the park. Back to the Future all the way… bring back a shred of my wide-eyed wonderment of being a kid. But never… NEVER… give people a choice in the matter. Thanks, now we’re all going to have to sit through Kevin Bacon rebelling against a town that has banned dancing. God forbid.)
