I don't care where, I don't care when, I just want to see this movie. If anyone else wants to check this flick out, stand up and be recognized. After back-to-back shit movies in Hellboy and Van Helsing, I'm praying that the dialogue in Troy is at least passable. It should happen with a cast that consists of: Brad Pitt, Brian Cox, Brendan Gleeson, Orlando Bloom, Sean Bean and Peter O'Toole, who are all top-notch actors. This may be Eric Bana's "saving grace" if he manages to show me a solid effort after The Hulk debacle.

or we could go to the Delano theater

I say we do the Delano theater. Hit up that DQ as well. Do they serve the Chicken Strip Baskette? :drool_2:

Delano's fine by me, I don't mind the drive.

Looks like that's three votes for Delano. :D

Ok Sue and I are in. Now if your serious about Delano than we need to figure out what we really want to do for dinner. If you want to go with the Delano restaurants here are the options:

DQ
McDonalds
The pub restaurant thing
Pizza Ranch
the Jukebox (pizza)
Subway
Peppermint Twist (old school drive up were they bring the food out to your car)

Now we could also meet up for dinner in Plymouth, long lake, Maple Grove...

or Suzi suggested a pot luck!

Let me know what you think.

I'm willing to go to Eden Prarie or any of the others we've previously done, but Delano is a little to far (especially since Spike needs a later show -if it were afternoon/early evening, I'd be more game). Its 2hrs 43mins!

The NY Times gave it a fairly good preview/review.

If its digital projection, we should strongly consider Eden Prarie.

Lets wait for Spiderman 2 before we go to Eden Prarie. Besides, Spike said he won't be able to make it. We can do lunch and make a late afternoon/early evening showtime, easy.

Besides, yo...I gots to go back to gangland Delano playah!

Okay, if we do a reasonable showtime (i.e., before 9:00pm), I'm in for Delano.

I didn't realize how "close" it is (I just looked at mapquest).

Troy? Nope, sorry. Spiderman 2, yes, Dodgeball, yes, troy = no.

Make sure you guys go to the drive in tho. How many times do you get that opportunity?

Too bad they don't have drive-in movies anymore. :crying:

Sure there are. Vali Hi just off of 94 & 494, it's like a 10-15 min drive from my house. They play three different movies, back-to-back-to-back.

Since the show starts at six and the old GnR was notorious for being really, really late to start shows, what time are you planning on getting to the quest?

I am 90% sure that the park has grills set up for everybody to use if we wanted to BBQ. I'll be biking down there later on this week and can get a confirmation. Give me some input on what you would like to do for food. There is a couple of really good restaurants on the way to Delano in Long Lake that we could go to also.

There's something that everyone needs to know about PinkShoes... SHE LOVES GnR. Yes I know it's sad, but she really digs that crap. So my guess is that we will be there at 5:30, giving us enough time to get close enough to the stage that we may have the lucky fortune of being splashed with a drop or two of Slash sweat. If we can go to a really early show maybe we could work something out, but otherwise I'm thinking Saturday ain't gonna' work.

Any takers to move this back a day to Sunday?

Oh yeah, I have issues with LA... but that is for another time.

The park idea might not happen. I forgot that we would have to pay to get in to the park.
