Big Lebowski screening and after party at Palace Theatre!

End of Big Lebowski Film - Sam Elliott

i love this movie and will watch it at nearly any opportunity.  A friend informed me that it was playing at the palace with an after party in a unit above the theater that was actually used to film Mod’s apartment!  The event was put on by the Secret Movie Club.  Apart from a few technical glitches and the fact that it was a 4k blu-ray instead of 35mm projection, it was a solid moviegoing experience.  The afterparty was very interesting. drinking white russians while exploring this incredible theatre.  It turned out that some of the most interesting places where actually off limits, but we didn’t know.

I returned to Disneyland with some first timers.  It hasn’t been very long, but there have been a lot of changes. Fast Pass is now a paid upgrade.  Storybook rides now feature video projection.  Splash Mountain is now Bayou Country despite keeping the big splash.  The Haunted Mansion is in Nightmare before Christmas mode with even more fun changes.  The original Club 33 door is now stroller parking!  The Electric Light Parade has returned completely refreshed and a new Fantasyland Castle projection show provided exciting new entertainment.
