Arenafoot Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 There were only about 20 people for the first one at 4:30pm, then about 40 people for the 2nd one at 7pm. Even the ticket lady at 4pm said to us, "Hey, someone actually showed up for that movie!"

nosweargamer Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 Pretty cool moment on Jimmy Kimmel last night: I'll be honest, after seeing both Christopher Lloyd (Now 77) in this feature and Harrision Ford (Now 73) in the Star Wars trailer, I'm realizing more and more how many actors of my childhood movies are entering the twilight of their life, especially for Lloyd. It was hard for me to tell if Lloyd was just acting crazy or if he was having trouble remember his lines in the Kimmel skit.

It was hard for me to tell if Lloyd was just acting crazy or if he was having trouble remember his lines in the Kimmel skit. I'm with you. It was kind of depressing but I still thought it was great. If I had to guess, I would say he was not trying to act crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
