Arthouse Reboot: Do you have time for the funniest movie from Sundance - BAGHEAD

BAGHEAD
Group arrival: 8:15pm
BUY TICKETS for 8:30pm showing

From the guys that brought you the Mumblecore road comedy "The Puffy Chair" comes the best send-up of the DIY horrormovie genre to date. More laughs than scares, and if you saw the recent Liv Tyler shocker "The Strangers" you'll be amazed at how perfectly "Baghead" satirizes it (even though both were made at the same time).

Mumblecore fans UNITE!!! The Duplass Bros. have found a away to make zero-budget "mumblecore" filmmaking both funny and slightly scary. Nothing for gorehounds, but anybody with a sense of humor should get their money's worth in laughter alone.

One BIG NOTE: Don't RSVP just because 20 other people have RSVP'd, only RSVP if you would like to SEE this movie with possibly 4 or 5 other people, because chances are that's how many folks will actually show up. The MeetUp site gives people the opportunity to RSVP for dozens of events happening the same night/same time and many people take the opportunity to do jus that, even at the expense of the meetups they "no-show" for.

I never want to hear the words "is this all the people that showed up?" again. You've now been warned. I cannot enforce attendance. So if you're coming in all the way from New Jersey because some groovy looking guy/gal clicked YES, you're coming for the wrong reasons. Especially since groovy people are notoriously consistent no-shows (in college we called them "flakes").

If you are coming from far away, be advised that 42nd street sidewalk is packed so I will be waiting INSIDE near the escalator that is TO YOUR RIGHT when you enter the lobby. I will also have a MeetUp sign and be wearing a black ballcap with Tribeca Film Festival in white letters on it.

If you decide to hang back and wait for someone else to greet me, then you may be waiting awhile since everybody else will probably doing the same exact thing. Please makes contact, I may need you to grab some seats or hold the fort while I use the rest room (yeah, I'm a pisser).

Note to latecomers, I will only be in the lobby until 8:15pm so that I can secure seats inside the theater for the 8:30 show which may or may not be SOLD OUT depending on the size of the theater.

My recommendation: Buy your tickets in advance & get there early. If neither of those things happens on the day, then it's "on you" to find the group or me (the guy with the black hat in a potentially darkened theater). There's a Film Center Cafe on 9th ave that the group (if one materializes) may go to after the movie if no one objects, so latecomers can also try to catch up with us (or the guy in the black hat) over there.

As you can tell, I have tried to cover every worst case scenario you might encounter. If you've never been to the AMC Empire, it's a 25-theater cineplex that's spread over five floors, which is why I can't waitlong past quarter after in order to make it up the dozen of so escalators needed to get to the theaters. Also, this group has not met in over 6 months so the only person that I'm positive will attend is ME.

Lastly, here's a link for online ticketing: Movieticketscom

There is also a boxoffice (& usually a long line) OR self-serve ticketing machines (for credit-card holders) and will-call pick-ups.
