As all of us who were there can attest, the Feb 14 screening of The Apple at the Nuart was a beautiful thing. Kudos to Marc, the assistant manager there, for making this happen. I went there expecting to watch the movie with 5 friends and about 10 other people. Amazingly, the word got out through some indie channels, and there were over 300 people there! It was the best-attended midnight show ever at the Nuart, which is truly amazing.

The print was beautiful, the crowd was enthusiastic, and Marc played a reel of Cannon trailers before the movie, including Schizoid, New Year's Evil, Breakin' 2, and The Forbidden Dance, which--as sorry as this is to say--was a highlight of my life. I hope Menahem finds out that there's an audience for The Apple after all, and let's also hope this glorious event isn't one-of-a-kind.

Also, the recent DVD releases have been great, both the Bronson ones and Alien Contamination. Be sure to check those out.
