Piercing Ken Thoughts: his sounds like a lot of fun and let’s be honest, ALL of the films being presented in this fashion are good ones. Personally speaking I lean towards the superhero and Science Fiction adventure ones but that is just me. Sadly with our being in NYC and not even having a car this is not something that we can attend but I am sure there will be more similar things popping up in my region to serve the need. We discussed a series of Tribeca Films back in June (discussed HERE). I have to admit that one of the things I miss a lot is the means to sit in the movie theater as I was doing it on a regular basis with all of the films that fall into my interests. As August gets underway one has to wonder how much longer this crazy ride will last because your guess is as good as anyone’s at this point. Stay safe out there my friends. I hope to see you all again at a concert, convention or special event sooner than later. Until next time. Be sure to chime in down below in the comments section with what you think about this happening.
