There will be a screening of the Thomas Crown Affair (1999) on Tuesday March 16th at 7:30 p.m at the Pacific Arclight Cinema in Hollywood, CA. Pierce Brosnan will then appear after the film with his co-producer Beau St. Clair to discuss the film and it's sequel. For those of you that live in Los Angeles tickets can be purchase by going to www.arclightcinemas.com. I bought my tickets yesterday and could only get them in the back, so get your tickets early. This should be a great event and one not to miss if you are a Bond fan. I recently attended a screening of Terminator 2 with a Q & A with director James Cameron after the film which was great. More information directly from the website is below.

* Actor/Producer Pierce Brosnan & Producer Beau St. Clair Q&A Following "The Thomas Crown Affair"
Pierce Brosnan, Rene Russo, Denis Leary
Director: John McTiernan
Rating: R
Running Time: 1 hr. 57 min.
Genre: Romance/Thriller/Comedy

Golden Globe nominated actor Pierce Brosnan is one of a growing group of A-List stars that actively develop and produce their own material rather than simply wait to see what agents and studios offer them. With producing partner Beau St. Clair his production company Irish DreamTime has created an evocative mix of personal passion projects like critically acclaimed independent feature EVELYN and mainstream, high profile films like THE THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR.
Generally speaking, most remakes of earlier films frankly end up disappointing because the elements that made the original film so memorable are so hard to replicate. THE THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR is the happy exception with many critics proclaiming this newer version superior to the 1968 original. Thanks to a combination of ideal casting, a literate and witty script by Leslie Dixon & Kurt Wimmer and deft direction by action specıalıst John McTiernan, this version of AFFAIR is a sophisticated caper film with a sexy cat and mouse game at its core. Audiences agreed with a worldwide box office of over $100,000,000 and a sequel currently in development.

Thanks, Ry. Sounds like a must do. But I think it will take the two of us to hold Athena back when Pierce takes the stage.

[Bryce (003)]

I'm There!

Thanks Ry.

*makes note to bring taser and tranquilizer pen for Athena*

[Ry]

Glad to hear you guys are going. I spoke with a manager at the theater yesterday and she said tickets are going fast...so I'd get 'em soon. There might even be a chance to meet Pierce. When I saw Cameron he spoke with a multiude of people after the screening. Athena might just get her wish!!

[zencat]

Do you have to be a member to get tickets, Ry? The "Reserve Seat" option isn't highlighting for me.

[Ry]

Zen,
I think there server is a little messed up right now. If you click on the back section that I believe is in dark blue you it should then move you to the next page where you can actually purchase the tickets. If it doesn't work let me know....Ry

Apparently their server is changing by the minute. It seems that the back section is still not sold out. Just wanted to let people know.

[Bryce (003)]

OK - I've got two tickets, but yeah, they're in the back.

Now to find out if either Flicka or the Irish Kitty can make it.

I sense another night of "Bonding" with the LA CBn crew....or Zencat and I being convinced to help Athena kidnap Pierce...

[Ry]

Bryce...glad you were able to get tickets. I think a night of CBn Bonding...James that is with the LA gang is in order.

[Bryce (003)]

Great Ry - Look forward to it...Maybe Pierce will want to duck out for a pint.

Athena - I'll make sure to get one of those jumbo popcorn buckets for you to drool in as well.

Ya that's IF we can get tickets.
ZenCat is on the phone right now. Oh bugger, stupid computer!
If we don't get tickets... then in the year 2004... Athena will KILL BRYCE... and RY

[Ry]

Athena, let me know if you can't get tickets in a few and I'll see what I can do on my end. We'll talk some more.

[zencat]

I can't get tickets even over the phone. It says their system is down.

Bryce, can you get us 2 tickets and I'll pay you back?

[Bryce (003)]

Well...If that's the case I guess we'll see if you live up to your sig.

"I've heard the price of tickets was going up, but isn't that a little high?"

[zencat]

Hehe...

[Bryce (003)]

Bryce, can you get us 2 tickets and I'll pay you back?

On it!

[zencat]

(Athena is freaking out)

[zencat]

Wait! I think I got it!

[Athena007]

But I think it will take the two of us to hold Athena back when Pierce takes the stage.

LOL!!! I JUST saw this ...baby!

Athena, let me know if you can't get tickets in a few and I'll see what I can do on my end.  We'll talk some more.

We might have to talk if something goes wrong. Eeeep! Come on Bryce...

Well...If that's the case I guess we'll see if you live up to your sig.
"I've heard the price of tickets was going up, but isn't that a little high?"

Oh I will... believe you me.
not high enough for Pierce

[zencat]

I have it. I only have Bryce's cell. I don't want to buiy until I stop him.

[Xenobia]

*Xenobia climbs to the top of Kiely Hall tower and prepares to throw herself off*

They couldn't do this is in April when I had Spring Break, and I could fly out for this? No, they had to do this in March. BAAAAAAHHHHHHH!

It's been nice knowing you all. Say hello to Pierce for me, and be sure to ask what his status is for the next Bond movie.

[Bryce (003)]

Zencat's got it covered.

See you there.

[Loomis]

Why's Brosnan attending this screening? Couldn't they get John McTiernan? Yeah, guess that must be it.

[zencat]

Got 'em, although I don't like the sound of our seats. Row Z? Not exactly the front, is it?

[Athena007]

*breaths a sigh of relief*
Ok, I won't have to kill anyone now

Yes... WONDERFUL MARCH!!! What a splendid 22nd birthday present for me!



Loomis Cause Brosnan produced it and stared in it, don

[Xenobia]

Thank you for sympathizing with my misery -- NOT!

I am going to jump now.

Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[zencat]

Charlie is in row Y. What row are you in Ry?

[Ry]

I'm in Y as well. Nothing wrong with being in the back. Athena will just have to push her way to Pierce after the screening.

[Bryce (003)]

Say 6:45-7ish meet for drinks before? Maybe Hollywood & Highland after for more Bonding?

Just a thought.

*knowing that Athena is now calmed, Bryce deactivates security system and thumbs safety on PPK*

Whew!
