Over the last few weeks I've been participating in a series of Twitter events under the auspices of
The Drive-In Mob. These started as weekly Tweet-alongs to TCM's Thursday night Drive-in double features, but have since graduated to coordinated home viewings using various movie streaming sites. The commentary runs from snark, to informed trivia, to sincere expressions of anger and dismay (but mostly snark, to be honest). If you'd like to participate, or just follow along, you can do so by using the Twitter hashtag
#DriveInMob during the designated time period.
This Thursday's double feature, starting at 8pm EST, includes
Hitler, Dead or Alive followed by
Bela Lugosi Meets a Brooklyn Gorilla (*shudder*), both of which can be streamed for free from either YouTube or
The Internet Archive. Be sure to check out the
Drive-In Mob site for complete details. Because dammit, I've managed to avoid watching
Bela Lugosi Meets a Brooklyn Gorilla for most of my life, and now that my number's up, I'll be damned if I'm going down alone.
I have never seen Brooklyn Gorilla either, but I own like nine copies of it since every single budget box set includes it
ReplyDeleteI'm sure I do too. Curse you, Mill Creek!!
ReplyDeleteAnd when you think of some of the titles in those sets that you have watched, in avoidance of Brooklyn Gorilla, then it really sinks just what a foreboding prospect it is. I mean, you've probably watched Laser Mission rather than watch Brooklyn Gorilla.
Laser Mission is a fine film! What I'm actually afraid of is that I'll watch Brooklyn Gorilla and enjoy it, then have to deal with the fact that I avoided it needlessly for all those years
ReplyDeleteLaser Mission would actually make a pretty good film for a future Drive-In Mob.
