There were about 50 people when I went. I knew about a third of them. My wife fell asleep (again). The bonus festie footage will be on the DVD. I was pissed at the festie about the big screen t.v. and all the sports they were showing on it. Why not trippy cult movies at 1 a.m.? Halloween showing of Rocky Horror Picture Show at 8 would have been lot’s of fun. 40,00 spunions doing the “Time Warp”? I like it. Disc golf course on the grounds? I like it. Tenative Trey? Page coming off like Garth from Wayne’s World while being forced to sing Lawn Boy? I’ll pass.
The low box office numbers are a result of corporate attempts to package Phish as a baby boomer haven, a safe place to send your teen while you go to Vegas for the weekend, and a general homogenization of it’s fan base for simplicitie’s sake. I know some people who went to 5 showings of this. Most people you coudn’t pay to go.
Parallel of the day. It was like going house shopping with a recovering alcoholic real estate agent. The view was great, the house was pretty, but you could tell that something was wrong with the sales pitch. That detracted from the overall sense of serenity that is needed to fall in love with the place.
Rambles to the bath tub because shouldar surgery is in my future
+1
+2
My favorite part…
C’mon Doojer let’s hear it 
Yeah my left shoulder popped out through the top the other day. It’s been torn for so long that I lament not having surgery on it back when I had insurance. Now I gotta figure out Obama Care and see if they will sew me up. 
I’ll try to have secret sign if there is Vicodin effecting my posts in the future. 
So I went to the movie last night. While I did enjoy it I also think the criticisms here and elsewhere have alot of merit. The 3D was a distraction, my eyes never adjust to the 3D for anything but it was worse with the jump cut editing. More long range shots could have done wonders for this thing. More fest shots and crowd shots would have helped alot. I would have done the song selection differently, but more importantly they just didn’t catch the flow of the show. If they would have maybe picked a group of songs from some sets it probably would have captured the feel alot better.
But I did like it and the sound at the theatre was pretty good. Suzy was off the chain. Bag was a really good starter for this. Managed a good buzz while in the movie. I wouldn’t go again and buying it will depend on the extras and whether its available on Blu but it was still a pretty solid B. Just really think it could have been an A if done right.
^I hope to see many extras in the BluRay DVD as well!
Yeah, I gotta admit, you weren’t too far off. +1 on the sports screens. 
I’m seeing it tomorrow night, pretty stoked! I have a feeling that the theater will be nearly empty.
Well the theater might have been empty! I’m not sure cause I never made it inside.
The locale was supposed to be a 40 minute drive. Things started off on the wrong foot when we hit traffic. So the showing was called for 9:50, and time was ever so quickly slipping away. At 9:50 we were still stuck on the highway, plowing along. At 10:05 we get off onto the street that the theater is apparently right nearby, and as we should have expected, there was construction blocking the road we needed to get on to, so we missed it. It’s 10:20 by the time we found the street, and for some reason we thought it was 300 feet to the street we then had to go to, not the 1.3 miles we actually were meant to travel. Anyway, we drove around for a bit more, went into a McDonald’s to ask for directions. My friend driving misheard me and thought I said go straight when I said make a left, so we ended up on some random highway. We circled around a bit, and in 20 minutes we found ourselves back on the correct street. At around 11:10 we were finally at the theater, an hour and twenty minutes too late. The doors to the theater were locked, and so we knocked on them until a security guard came and answered. We explained the situation, how we had been traveling for 2 hours and hadn’t been able to find the damn place. He radioed up to management, who first responded that “Phish 3d isn’t showing now.” We explained we just wanted to catch the tail end of the show, just the last hour!! “That’s not going to be possible” he said, in a rather demeaning tone I might add, crushing our spirits. Well, we turned around to go, paused by the exit doors for a bit and considered going in through them when someone exited, descided against it when we saw cameras and left. Before getting back into the car, I took a piss on the theater, take that!!
Argh. I don’t think I’m going to get a chance to see Phish 3d, but at this point I don’t think it was meant to be.
Double Bummer 
^^Yoni, that is a great/sad story man, sorry for all that, I hope you take a chance this week to hit it up! 
^^ Yeah I’m not sure if I’ve got the time, it’s finals week 
and I don’t want to give business to the theater, they totally shut us out!
Also I didn’t mention, on the way back a truck swerved over into my lane without checking for cars, I had to quickly switch lanes to avoid getting squished! If there had been a car in the lane to my left, I probably wouldn’t be posting here. I think EVERYTHING was against me having a good time
^Wow. Well, it’s a good thing you escaped death! 
Funny as hell that you peed on the theater. There’s a good chance they ended up not showing the flick if nobody came to see it (may be why the guy on the radio said Phish 3D wasn’t playing now). If that’s the case, I wouldn’t necessarily hold too much against them for not being able to accommodate you guys.
Now, if the movie was actually playing when you got there, then they are just douchebags.
