Screening Liberally Denver Chapter Blog

Tomorrow--Tuesday, October 14th, Screening Liberally will be having an outing at the Cherry Creek Mall Theater to view Oliver Stone's new movie W.

The movie starts at 7:30 PM. We'll start gathering outside the theater at the Cherry Creek mall at 7:00.

This is a Special Screening of the movie and we've managed to get our hands on some passes to see it. There's a limited quantity, so please email Johne at johne@drinkingliberally.org to reserve your spot. With only a handful of passes--and some already spoken for--you must act quickly to claim your spot!

And because it is a special screening, you can't get in to the movie UNLESS you have a special screening ticket.

The PR firm also sent t-shirts and W shot glasses as part of the passes, so if you're interested in any of this schwag, let's us know!

You can check out the film's website here: http://wthefilm.com/

See you all tomorrow

Who wants to see a free movie? You all do, I just know it.

Lionsgate Films is about to release Bill Maher's new film Religulous. If you didn't already heard about this, sorry. We're still trying to figure out how to best have a weekly Drinking Liberally chapter and a Screening Liberally chapter. Anyway, so yes, we still have a bunch of free passes to see Religulous. Send me an email if you'd like to go. We'll be meeting in the lobby of the Chez Artiste theater at 2800 S. Colorado Blvd, this Wednesday the 24th at 7pm, for a 7:30pm showtime. Unfortunately, there is no general admission for this screening. So, unless you get an email back from me that you're on the list, you're still welcome to join us at the Skylark. Sorry, but we're only getting so many tickets.

Rotten Tomatoes, who's reviewers give it a 67%, says:

Synopsis: No religion is safe from the sharp aim--and still sharper wit--of Bill Maher in this comic look at organized belief systems around the world.

Hey Film buffs!

WHAT: PINEAPPLE EXPRESS
WHEN: Wednesday, 6:00pm Drinking. Movie starts at 7:00
WHERE: Landmark Greenwood Village, $12.00

There are issues that our nation faces, difficult and challenging issues, that cloud the landscape with their controversy and varying view points. No issue is of greater importance, or talked about more, than Marijuana Legalization.

Except for all the other issues.

And what better way to discuss those issues than with a slapstick comedy about a couple loser drug dealers? Join us at a new venue to enjoy the political discourse that is PINEAPPLE EXPRESS, from the makers of Superbad and 40 Year Old Virgin

A movie like this must be seen in a venue that can handle this level of political discourse, and no theatre is better equipped to handle the complexity of this film than the Greenwood Village Landmark, the theatre Westword Magazine gave the title, "Best Theatre in Denver 2008" to. Tickets are $12.

Why would one pay $12? I will tell you why. With your ticket comes UNLIMITED POPCORN AND SODA. Additionally, all the seating is plush leather awesomeness, with fewer seats and better quality digital sound and picture. Also, Gourmet Kitchen. This theatre is the new hotness. And you have to come laugh with us at it.

Directions to the Theatre

Drinking starts at 6. Movie starts at 7.

Cheers,

Paul, John E, and Mordecai

ABOUT THE MOVIE:
The guys who brought you Superbad reunite for a new action-comedy. Lazy stoner Dale Denton (co-writer Seth Rogen) has only one reason to visit his equally lazy dealer Saul Silver (James Franco): to purchase weed; specifically, a rare new strain called Pineapple Express. But when Dale becomes the only witness to a murder by a crooked cop (Rosie Perez) and the city's most dangerous drug lord (Gary Cole), he panics and dumps his roach of Pineapple Express at the scene. Dale now has another reason to visit Saul: to find out if the weed is so rare that it can be traced back to him. And it is. As Dale and Saul run for their lives, they quickly discover that they're not suffering from weed-fueled paranoia; incredibly, the bad guys really are hot on their trail and trying to figure out the fastest way to kill them both.

Greetings Filmgoers,

Due the NetrootsNation.org convention being held in Austin, TX where our chapter leaders will be heading, there is no screening liberally this month.

If you are so inclined to head out on your own, we recommend the 7:00pm showing of Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson at the Esquire theatre.

See you all next month,

Cheers,

Your host, Mordecai

About BIGGER, FASTER, STRONGER:
Why are so many of our heroes on performance enhancing drugs? From the producers of Bowling for Columbine and Fahrenheit 9/11 comes a new documentary that unflinchingly explores our win-at-all-cost culture through the lens of a personal journey. Blending comedy and pathos, writer/director Christopher Bell's film is a collision of pop culture, animated sequences and first-person narrative, with a diverse cast including U.S. Congressmen, professional athletes, medical experts and everyday gym rats. At its heart, this is the story of the director and his two brothers, who grew up idolizing muscular giants like Hulk Hogan, Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger, and who went on to become members of the steroid-subculture in an effort to realize their American dream. When you discover that your heroes have all broken the rules, do you follow the rules, or do you follow your heroes?
