Viewing Notes

Incredible to see this on the big screen for the first time and on 35mm!

It’s been at least 20 years since I’ve seen this so I had this circled on the IFS calendar. The movie is so OTT and ridiculous but Travolta and Cage make it work. They are so good. When Jason asked the audience who was seeing this for the first time, almost the entire group raised their hands. Unreal and another reason why I love seeing movies like this at CU Boulder. Super fun viewing with a crowd.
