Pitch calendar editor Crystal K. Wiebe told me to stop everything and remind people that the big Valentine's Day screening of Casablanca at Screenland will probably sell out before she can tell people about it. So she wants to tell you about it. Check out this blurb from contributing writer Brent Shepherd:
Casablanca. It's arguably the most romantic movie of all time, embracing, as it does, more than one brand of romantic ideal. But let's be real for a minute: You know Rick hit that, right? And we don't mean in Paris, either. We mean the night Ilsa turns up after curfew to ask for the letters of transit. Seriously: watch it again with the one you love this Valentine's Day, pay no mind to how immaculately dressed they are after the scene transition, then get back to us. Valentine's Day is for lovers only at Screenland at the Crossroads (1656 Washington), where $60 buys two tickets, popcorn, a bottle of red or white wine, and a box of Christopher Elbow chocolates so good they're practically sexual. Casablanca screens at 7 p.m. only; they're not going to play it again. Order couples packages here or call 816-421-2900.
And if it sells out, rent it at SRO Video. Just get there before someone else does.
