Perhaps they should have put a 'Please Don't Torch The Display' sign on the Space Jockey :D I'll get my coat...
ReplyDeleteI sometimes wonder if the arsonists were armed with flame throwers
DeleteIt was styrofoam so it went p quickly. I was there when that happened also. Thank God Bill Malone took pictures.
DeleteOh my!
DeleteI was there! It was wondrous. The first showing had some problems but was still a memorable experience. I was working for Sherwood Oaks College at the time and my boss was Gary Shusett, brother of Ronald who co-wrote and executive produced the film. My first seminar there was on its making.
ReplyDeleteRemember going thru "mother" as we entered the lobby ?
ReplyDeleteIn the picture of the group on the sidewalk I am the tall one with the white shirt that has stipes over the shoulders.
Very memorable occasion.
I was there on Saturday morning, May 28, for morning show (10 or 11 AM, I can't remember exactly).
ReplyDeleteWalking thru Mother was especially memorable, with the blinking lights.
Yeah, it was really cool.
I was still in my 20s, then. G'damn!
CORRECTION:That saturday morning I saw Alien at the Egyptian would have been May 26, 1979.
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to get that right.
This is very good to know!
