Viewing Notes

Got home in time to catch the second half of this week’s The Last Drive-In. Missed DEATHGASM which I own so not a big deal.

I thought I’d seen THE CHANGELING before but if I did, I sure didn’t remember any of it while watching tonight. One wonders if THE RING author wasn’t inspired in part by this movie.

It was also great to learn some of the back story and how it relates to Denver and Boulder! The motel Joe Bob mentions at 30th and Arapahoe is where the 29th Street Mall is now. So weird!
