*If you’re not big into words, scroll down to perhaps buy some tix or take a look at some truly gorgeous (and exclusive) Fernando Reza artwork.
Theatres of Mall of America has become something of a second home for me lately. I already do many a prescreening there, but lately their events have been skewing more and more towards some incredibly Chewer-friendly programming. Of course I was on hand for November’s Twilight marathon, but we also had the privilege of bringing Universal Soldier to the theatre last August. Bit of a give and take in my opinion.
This endeavour is thanks in large part to their representative, Mr. Chris Grap, a dude I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know pretty well over the past six months. Chris is also one of the founding minds behind the maddeningly fun Star Wars Holiday Special Toys For Tots Screening held here in Minnesota every year. For the holidays this year, Chris resolved to put an event together with us Chewers in mind. And he came up with an idea I’ve been fucking in love with since the start:
Ever notice a lot of Shane Black’s output tends to have Christmas somewhere in there? So did we. Beginning tomorrow evening November 29th at 9:30 and continuing every Thursday thereafter in the lead-up to Christmas, Theatres MOA will be putting some of Shane Black’s finest work on the big screen just for you and I. For the price of $5 per movie, you get to be a part of this insanely badass schedule of films:
-
Lethal Weapon – Thursday, November 29th / 9:30PM (Buy Tickets)
-
The Last Boy Scout – Thursday, December 6th / 9:30PM (Buy Tickets)
-
The Long Kiss Goodnight – Thursday, December 13th / 9:30PM (Buy Tickets)
-
Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang – Thursday, December 20th / 9:30PM (Buy Tickets)
Chris and I want to bring more kickass programming like this to the Twin Cities. In order to do that, we really need your support. So to sweeten the deal, we got in touch with insanely talented artist and Friend of CHUD™ Fernando Fro Reza and commissioned the following, stunning piece of ass-kicking holiday cheer:
Purchase four tickets and she’s yours. Whether you bring three buddies with you, or buy a ticket for each of the four films, we start dolling these beautiful puppies out at the theatre 9PM tomorrow (only with proof of four ticket purchases). So, for 20 bucks, you can conceivably see all four films in the series and walk out with your very own, exclusive Fro Design. Not a bad deal.
Start here, and work your way up. We’d love for you to come out and celebrate Christmas with us the hard way. The Shane Black way.

I know for sure I’ll be there for The Last Boy Scout! Never saw it and happen to have the next day off from work.
This is pretty awesome. I have never actually thought of the Christmas theme in his films until now…
I’ll be in town for KISS KISS.
You know, I think I saw LONG KISS GOODNIGHT at the MOA during its initial release.
And it’s carrying over to Iron Man 3. A few months ago, some friends went down to where they were shooting locally and on the set…..Christmas trees!
It does indeed carry over to Iron Man 3. We made a trailer pack for the series concluding with Iron Man 3. These 4 also all have kidnapping in them. And amazing smartass comments. And action. And awesome. I can’t wait to watch these all again.
I watched Kiss Kiss Bang Bang for the first time in a while last night..I ended up searching desperately for the video clip of Robert Downey in the Robocop suit falling off the balcony…I was going to post it as “Shane Black’s Iron Man 3” but I couldn’t find the clip anywhere! Somebody get on this! And give me credit for realizing how funny and poignant it is.
