Tonight’s screening of “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” has been canceled due to rain. The film will not be rescheduled for the 2009 season, rather it will kick off the 2010 year.
Juliet Lapidos, writing for Slate.com, offers her thoughts on outdoor movies. In short she hates them. Her reasons: its uncomfortable, too dark, no air conditioning, and talking.
Clearly, she’s never been to Movies in the Park in Little Rock. I’m offering her an open invitation to join us anytime this summer. Hopefully she’ll take me on it.
For those of you that have inquired, we’re planning on showing “The Princess Bride” tonight. Please join us and have some fun.
Friends,
We hate to do this, but due to rain in Little Rock that is likely to continue throughout the evening, we are cancelling tonight’s screening of “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.” But 80′s fans have no fear. Due to the overwhelming interest in this film we are rescheduling it for July 29th. The annual People’s Choice will be held during the first week of August.
Thank you for all your support for Movies in the Park, and we apologize for this inconvenience. We look forward to seeing you next week for “The Princess Bride.”
