Guess that means tomorrow we should go out and see it. Yes indeed folks, after you picked out the date and we shot off the announcement, this is the last reminder you'll get to start showing up at the Redford Theatre at 7 PM tomorrow night for the 8 PM showing. You'll get to see Steve McQueen, Robert Vaughn, Jacqueline Bisset, Robert Duvall and many more up on the big screen in this 1968 Peter Yates classic.

So how are we going to know a J-Lop from a common schmo? Aside from you lucky few with "Save the Enzos" t-shirts and whatever psycho decides to put el Werto on a shirt or whatever, the easiest solution is to just go the AA way - name tags. We'll have 'em or you can bring your own cleverly sarcastic version. I'm going to head over to the all volunteer staffed theater (and thus only open part time) this evening and make sure we've got things straight for all you hooligans tomorrow. We'll probably have a "Jalopnik" section if we can swing it. Make sure you bring your $4 cause we're sure the nonprofit theater will appreciate the patronage. Not much else to say, we're looking forward to tomorrow and hope you guys are too.

<![CDATA[ Watch Bullitt With Us On Saturday, March 15th, 2008 ]]> Bullitt-Poster.jpgApparently some of you like seeing cool old movies in cool old movie theaters because when we posed the possibility of seeing Bullitt at the Redford Theater, 131 of you gave us a hell yeah and 42 said maybe. Now, the Redford Theater is a pretty big place, and it's a fair bet the old timer will be able to hold ya'll, but we don't know how they'll feel when over a hundred car nerds show up. Now, on with the details

Okay, so doors open at 7 pm and the movie starts at 8 pm. Redford isn't the nicest town in Detroit — not terribly dangerous, but on the skeevy side. Rest assured though as the parking lots as seen below are guarded. You'll be treated to some really cool old-timey Chinese themed movie theater kitsch, so bring your camera if you're into that kind of thing. We'll be there early, but we haven't really figured out how we should identify ourselves as a group. Perhaps you all can come with something good, we'll run a reminder on Friday with some kind of scarlet letter to point out the nerdliness.
