The Alamo Draft House's Rolling Road Show begins on 8.6 in Los Angeles with a screening of Jackie Brown, and concludes on 8.27 in New York City with a screening of The Godfather, Part II on -- get this -- "a Manhattan rooftop near Little Italy." A week earlier (8.20) On The Waterfront will be shown on Hoboken's Pier a Park. Thing is, there's almost nothing left of the Hoboken that Elia Kazan shot in 1953 -- it's mostly been torn down, paved over and Starbucked. Even the echoes have disappeared. Or at least the meatheads have.

The Diner cart/bar near my place has double features outside every Sunday, projected onto the outside of a warehouse wall. Repo Man's warehouse shots looked wonderful on the texture of the building.

Hoboken sucks ass. Full of Irish bars and recently graduated frat-boys.
