Grandin Theatre, March 2017
The nonprofit Grandin Theatre looks like a hell of a fun place for a film buff. The building dates from 1932, and upcoming screenings include “To Have and Have Not,” “The Trouble With Harry,” and Kevin Smith’s “Mallrats.” The theater is screening “The Boondock Saints” for free on St. Patrick’s Day.
“You see, I’m Irish — but I’m not a leprechaun!”
“You wanna fight? Then step up and we’ll get it on!”
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
And Happy Throwback Thursday, too. House of Pain’s “Top O’ The Mornin’ To Ya” dates from 1992. It actually has a pretty nifty “Return of the Jedi” reference, for you Star Wars fans who currently rule this little thing called the Internet.
And the song is memorable to this comic book fan for being a great intro track for Colin Farrell’s Bullseye in 2003’s “Daredevil.” I actually am the rare (or possibly unique) individual who really likes that movie. I bought it on DVD, and I’ve seen it more times than I care to publicly admit, given its ignominy.
