Shakespeare in the Park? That’s for pussies. Movies in the cemetery is where it’s at. During the summer months the film geek society Cinespia [LINK] shows movies at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. Projected on the wall of the mausoleum of all things. We grabbed a “plot” and set up our snobby cinema food i.e wine, cheese, crackers, etc. The projector is mounted in the back of a truck and torches line the drives of the cemetery. A great night above and below the stars. They really should call it Filmstock. Minus the breakfast in bed for 400 thousand [LINK]. Two shooting stars and a satellite were spotted. Oh yeah, the movie… Cheezy fun film noir, “Pickup On South Street”. Sample dialogue… “Hey Buddy.” “Hey Mac.” “Hey Muffin.”
