Is there any Knoxville scene to speak of?
Having worked for a theater, I can give you some pretty good insight on the situation. First, theaters make ZERO on ticket sales, well at least in Malco’s case. They literally make absolutely nothing on ticket sales and everything is generated from concessions, which is why they are so high. The question isn’t whether they will allow it, it’s whether they have the screen time to show it. I’ll give Bill a call and ask him about the situation or how to go about doing this (he’s one of higher ups, just below the Lightmans who own Malco). Just know that if they do screen it, it will most likely be a one night thing, and will most likely be a midnight showing on one of the smaller screens. One thing I do know, is usually when they screen independent/not-so-popular films, they are usually screened at Paradiso on Poplar. Just a heads up.
I am trying to get my life in order.
I am trying to accept the responsibilities that come with being an adult as gracefully as I can.
But it’s proving a little difficult.
There’s like, 300 more Pokemon than there were when I started.
Buuhahahahahahhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahhahaaa…Really. 8)
There are a handful of us. I am one of the only ones that are on the boards. Ragingraven is sometimes on but if you live in knox and want to play hit me up in a pm and we can exchange aim and stuff.
Thanks for the clarification Squabb. To be honest, location didn’t even come in to the conversation, and I will admit I know very little about the industry. I also don’t expect a major screening, I’d be happy with a 1-night showing, which I believe is the case for the Tupelo showing. Not sure how a midnight screening works for everyone but I’m still down.
I will say this, if we DO get a screening going, I will personally purchase a food item+1 drink or one combo for the first 10 people that i know from the tekken/SF scene who do show up. If concessions is what drives them, then I will try and buy some concessions, dammit.
Now one of my favoite songs ever!!!
The geek in me would really take off work and roadtrip to see this flick, especially since:
So yea, I’m pretty much in there. I was gonna decide between Nash or Tupelo screenings. Tupelo is closer but with a Nash screening I could maybe fall through the arcade and beat Jacob’s ass in MK. But it seems like Tupelo is settled. I think the 26th was already one of the days I took off for Evo but I’m not going now because I waited too late for tickets like a dumbass. $400-500 round trip wouldn’t hurt me, but I’m not even there mentally. Was really just going to support Marcus and fuck with other cats, plus it’s Vegas and was gonna be a real vacation. But I’d like to be able to be scrape through pools. I’m just too out of sync right now.
Speaking of which, major props to Sev, Abe, and Johnny for repping in 5v5. I know some of you guys couldn’t make it, but still, fuck you. And I apologize for an ass like showing. Me, Gene, or Andrew was supposed to be auto OCV, but neither one of us expected to play that day. No excuse though, we played with food, and got ate up. And truth is, those minions got a lot better in a major way. I’m still in disbelief though because you had stuff happening that I KNOW was twilight zone bullshit. But we just gonna assume that all of those EXTREMELY SOLID top player styles were legit and was still there when guys woke up the next morning.
So…no more autopilot from me. Zero. Everybody is getting manhandled. I don’t give a fuck if you never played Tek or even held a controller/stick before. Straight lightings anytime I touch down. Dry as ASAP matches from now on. Gotta break this habit because I see guys trying to get grown and shit, like for real! But all bs aside, this is good. Really good. You got major progression taking place, and some of the players like myself falling off bad. But this is just going to make us peep shit. Cuz I laugh and joke regardless, but it really wasn’t funny how Afro Samurai Josh was sodomizing niggas Saturday. If somebody didn’t rub a fucking magic lamp for minions then I’m truly impressed. Loss of words, in awe. So major props despite how I was throwing salt. But I swear…I swear to God…it’s closed caskets for now on. A bunch of people about to stop playing this game, real talk. Lol.
Oh yea, POWERPLAY TOURNEY SATURDAY. Bring an extra pair of drawers. Just saying…
Aren’t people going a little crazy over this Tekken anime?? Personally, I think I will survive if I never see it… ever.
This shit ain’t an anime! It’s a movie!
And you’d be wise to recognize the difference you corn nugget…er.
Whatever happened to DELETE ALL ANIMES
yeah but you hate everything
Anthony would travel to watch a special screening of a coming of age story of Rose making it in the big city.
Guess I’ll dl Kenshi since he’s scrub-bait. Somebody start back bringing MK to Wastings.
P.S. Bump Tupelo or Nash. SoCal is getting playable arcade version of TTT2 on the 26th. So like, me and my girl needed to take a vacation anyway and…
Important Announcement regarding PP Tekken tourney. I have found out that PP will have to **reschedule **the Tekken tourney. I’m disappointed, but them’s the breaks. They are still going to run the Marvel tourney on that date.
In any case I will bring a 360(lol) copy of tekken for casuals if anyone wants to play before the marvel tourney. In any case, this may be for the best, because we were going to have to run 2 tourneys on the same date, and that could easily end up being a pain in the ass for them.
This way hopefully we can properly plan and schedule a stand-alone Tekk tournament for this month or next.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news FlyMike.
PS. I would MUCH rather go to Tupelo, because of work demands and all that.
PPS, oh I think I misread you, you’re saying that you can’t make it out to the Tekken screening because you’ll be in SoCal?
Lol I was joking saying that I’d be in SoCal for THEIR screening because Filthy is bringing TTT2.
And it’s not really a joke because I’m damn near seriously considering it…
Forgot about the PP tournament this weekend. Would next Saturday be better for hosting a gathering?
I shouldn’t be beating people online lol but Kenshi just seems ok. I know it’s 1st day, peeps do got combos and whatnot, but most of the guys I played weren’t zoning enough. And what hurts him is he’s got no teleport. So he can punish outside within ranges, and some good stuff once he gets inside but…this is MK9 lol.
Pretty late here but GGs at Josh’s, idk if the Minions even read this thread but I was impressed with all the awesome pad Guilty Gear warriors! Majin I didn’t get a chance to play you but if you can bring a TV to Hastings tomorrow I’ll bring a ps2/controllers and set up AC+ (that is if you’re going of course)
(and even though I don’t know the first thing about Tek, watching it was definitely hype)
GGs to Chris and Jacob…i really suck at this game.
I resurface. Grandmother had a heart attack and stroke and I had to miss MWC because of it to visit her in Virginia. I’m upset about it but glad she’s doing okay now.
GGs Flymike. My Liu Kang is even weaker online…
