Pitch Black Pre-Riddick
I’ve been talking a fair bit about DVD showings lately. There’s the instantly-popular Red Vs. Blue Day, of course, and then there’s the not-quite-so-popular Battlestar Galactica showings I keep doing. Recently, though, there’s been some talk of doing another DVD showing at my place.
Now, I think it’s a fair bet that you know how keen I am on the upcoming SF film, The Chronicles of Riddick. It’s come to my attention that some of you haven’t seen Pitch Black, the film that Chronicles is the sequel to. It’s also come to my attention that some of you would actually like to see Pitch Black before Chronicles hits the big screen.
Now, let’s make no bones about it; Pitch Black is a suspense thriller in the mould of Aliens, which means it’s probably not a good choice if you can’t stand monsters-lurking-in-the-shadows tension. This is why Vickie doesn’t like it, so if I do have a get-together for it’ it’ll probably be on an evening that Vickie’s working.
Also, as I don’t actually own Pitch Black (I’m waiting until the Special Editions hit the shelves prior to Riddick), I’ll have to get it out from the video store beforehand.
So if I get Pitch Black out for, say, the fourth week of June (Sat 19th - Fri 25th) who’s interested in seeing it at our place on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday night?
Oh, and while we’re on the topic of The Chronicles of Riddick: Check this out. I'm hankerin' for it.
