Mike, I was living in Windsor ar the time and remember crossing over to see films in the Renaissance Center as well as the Adams (or Aadams?) theater which was down town off of Woodward if memory serves. It was a two or three room cinema where I distinctly remember seeing Eddie Murphy Raw, Run DMC's Tougher Than Leather and maybe even School Days before it was closed.
ReplyDeleteYears later while living in Montreal, I befriended a guy I maybe had met at a party talking about movies. Months later we were hanging out at a coffee shop and while discussing Tarantino's films and when True Romance. He asked me what I thought of the fan edit, I quickly told him I thought it was pretty crap and he looked at me with a very disappointed look on his face. Turns out he edited it and unleashed it on the internet back in those early days.
