THAT movie ... the movie in the title above it. on friday nights they played a single feature. on sat. they some times had a double feature. in huge letters PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE ... in small little tiny black letter above it 'the strange vengeance of rosalie'. we had noticed that when we pulled in, but we thought since the letters were so small it was merely a plot description of phantom. then ken howard started cursing. then there was some more swearing. my mom said 1 more swear word and we are leaving. then anthony zerbe showed up and started swearing. we left. i would not get to see phantom of the paradise until the 21st century.johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02826626604746650253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8823340817818385797.post-253974236891673992016-02-29T14:34:21.816-08:002016-02-29T14:34:21.816-08:00I think you meant "prostrate", not "...I think you meant "prostrate", not "prostate".matt.mcneelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01795894910056929236noreply@blogger.com
