This week we bring you the movie that made Tom Hanks, John Candy and Daryl Hannah stars: SPLASH! (It was even nominated for an Oscar. Go figure.)
Aug. 10: Secret of Roan Inish
6 Aug
What do the Village Voice, the New York Post and New York Times all agree on? THE SECRET OF ROAN INISH.
The Voice called it a “lyric romance for all the ages,” while the Times called it “wonderous.” Even Rolling Stone fell in love.
Photos: Jaws!
5 Aug
More great photos by Allison Hull. (Thanks, Allison!) To see the whole reel, visit the Flickr page.
We had a huge turnout — pushing 300 people — for Jaws, and the most amazing weather and sunset. Plus, Ethan on his Shark Bike was a hit. (I’ve heard requests for a mermaid-themed bike for Splash.)
It couldn’t have been a more perfect setting for all of us first-timers to Jaws.
A special thanks to our evening’s sponsor, the Bait and Tackle, for making this all possible.
Shark Bike
4 Aug
The awesome. Need we say more?
(Ok, in case we do: Ethan made a Shark Bike for JAWS, which was showing at Valentino Pier during Shark Week.)
Tonight: JAWS
3 Aug
Turns out, this is “Shark Week” on the Discovery Channel. Well, there will also be sharks at Valentino Pier. JAWS is finally here.
JAWS turns 35 this year, and we’re ready to celebrate on Tues., Aug. 3.
Come early to get a picnic spot (this promises to be busy!); film will start around 8:30 p.m.
AFTER PARTY: Bait and Tackle, the evening’s sponsor, will be hosting a post-JAWS after party. Get your $1 drink ticket at the movie and then head down to the bar and share a round with fellow JAWS fanatics. There will also be $4 pints of Stella and fish-themed snacks (gummy sharks, gold fish, Swedish fish).
BOOZE: Alcohol is illegal in New York City parks, and the local cops are threatening come by this week and ticket for open containers. Fair warning.
