"Synopsis:

Rock and roll will live forever - but can it float? PIRATE RADIO is the newest ensemble comedy from filmmaker Richard Curtis (screenwriter of Four Weddings and a Funeral and Notting Hill, and writer/director of Love Actually), spinning the irreverent yet fact-based tale of a seafaring band of rogue rock and roll deejays whose “pirate radio” captivated and inspired 1960s Britain. Playing the music that rocked a nation and a decade, the group boldly and hilariously defies the government that tries to shut them down.


Broadcasting live 24/7 from an old tanker anchored in the middle of the North Sea (just beyond British jurisdiction), Radio Rock sends out a vibrant and unifying signal to millions across the nation, ranging in age from wide-eyed pre-teens secretly tuning in long past their bedtimes to everyday people in need of a musical pick-me-up. The Radio Rock roster, overseen by unflappable station owner (and ship’s captain) Quentin (Bill Nighy), includes a risk-prone American known only as The Count (Philip Seymour Hoffman); mystic deejay royalty Gavin (Rhys Ifans); slyly amorous Dave (Nick Frost); idiosyncratic New Zealander Angus (Rhys Darby); the rarely seen Bob (Ralph Brown); the aptly named Thick Kevin (Tom Brooke); lovelorn Simon (Chris O’Dowd); ladies’ magnet Mark (Tom Wisdom); shy Harold (Ike Hamilton); reporter News John (Will Adamsdale); and lesbian ship’s cook Felicity (Katherine Parkinson). One night in 1966, Quentin’s teenaged godson Carl (Tom Sturridge) comes aboard. While Carl harbors romantic aspirations that he hopes will be fulfilled during one of the biweekly visits by Radio Rock’s prettiest fans, he also hopes to find out more about his long-absent father…

As the ship sails on and rocks out, what Carl and the freewheeling, free-loving Radio Rock gang don’t know is that back in London, landlocked government minister Dormandy (Kenneth Branagh) has embarked on a vehement crusade to silence their signal - permanently. To stay afloat and keep their devoted audience plugged in, the crew will have to band together and trust in the power of music like never before."

10/07/09 Movie: The Exorcist - My Rant

• Tropicana Cinema

For those of you who know me, you know I'm a movie nut.  I love to sit in the theater and lose myself in a good movie.  It is not often I would complain about small issues... but last night was a bit nutty.

I sent the following email to Insomniac Cinema! and a Similar letter to Regency delivering my discontent about the presentation, but more about by disgust for the theater manager.

First let me thank you for bringing the Insomniac Series to Las Vegas. I know me and my friends have enjoyed attending the various shows. I personally have attended more than half of the screenings. I am sorry to say that I will no longer be doing so due to the management at Tropicana Cinemas.


The showing of The Exorcist tonight was riddled with problems. During the crucifix masturbation scene, the sound became completely lost. I left the theater and complained to the manager who repaired the sound for about 5 minutes. All in all we lost over 25 min of the film.

Following the show, a large group congregated in the lobby to receive an apology and / or refund. The counter person told us that we would have to speak with the manager Miguel. He ignored multiple requests for his presence from the single counter person and even text messages. After 35 min, when all but me and one friend (another more loyal customer) remained did he appear. He did not apologize for the film, for keeping us waiting... and he refused to refund our tickets.

I have written a similar letter of complaint to Regency to let them know of the problem. I am sorry to say that his behavior will cost Regency and your company my business.

I invite others that were there to chime in and let them know we will be respected and spend our entertainment dollars accordingly.
