Confusing Movie Marquee That I saw

It listed the following films:

Spider-Man 3
Pirates 3
Shrek 3
Fantastic 4

It just reminded me of the time years ago when Gwen saw the movie title “Passenger 57” and asked why it was called that, and I explained that there had been fifty-eight previous films about Passenger.

  1. Fantastic 4 2, even.

    Is it any good? I though the first one had everything except a story.

  3. One of the local second runs had 300 and Grindhouse playing at it over the weekend. The side by side marquee read:

    Grindhouse 300

    How did I miss the first 299?

  4. Based on my wife’s reaction to the latest Bond, I believe she actually would sit down to watch Daniel Craig stand in line at the DMV all day.

  5. Guess I’m the odd man out on this. I read the list:

       Spider-Man 3
       Pirates 3
       Shrek 3
       Fantastic 4

    And my first thought was that Fantastic was ahead by one point.

  6. the best match-up of movie titles was at an old drive-in. here’s the line up

    Alien
    Meatballs
    Escape from Alcatraz

  7. The old 99-cent movie theater in Augusta, GA (sadly, it no longer exists) would run a bunch of older ‘current’ movies about a month before they’d go to video. They also had really small marquees. I’ll never forget the time they put “The Firm” and “Free Willy” on the same screen… the tiny marquee only had enough room for “Firm Willy.”

    Wouldn’t the ending of Fantastic 4 2 involve tricking Galactus into leaving by having everyone on the planet put towels over their heads when he arrives?

  9. I remember seeing a picture somewhere of a drive-in marquee saying:

    The Fly
    Gods Must Be Crazy
    Aliens

  10. I was just going to mention that last one myself: It was in National Lampoon’s True Facts: The Big Book (a collection of unintentionally funny signs, artciles, etc.)

    Unless being Galactus’s midnight snack is the meaning of life. I have found purpose, and have a bone to pick with that God chap…
