Renegade Picture Show

  • New Stuff

    It is official. We received the movie license for 2008 which means that in order to get our money’s worth we are going to have to show a butt-load of films. I am in the process – though early in the process I must admit – of putting together the list of movies and a schedule for this season. At this point all I know is that the first show is going to be towards the end of March – and hopefully on a dry Friday or Saturday (probably Saturday) evening.

    I am interested in what everyones’ suggestions are for movies this season. What would you like to see on the big screen (for free)?

    Speaking of the big screen…I’ve got some bad news. Actually, it’s sort of good news bad news. But we’ll start with the bad news. The bad news is that our movie screen on the side of the silos now has a metal cable tray running directly through it courtesy of a certain wireless cell phone company. Not to name names but it begins with an A & ends with a T. So the old screen is toast. It was fun while it lasted.

    Now the good news: we are going to have another screen just next door on another building – this one with a flat surface! Now for more bad news – I still have to paint a screen on the building. Damn. The last one was a lot of work.

    But I think the new screen, once in place, will be awesome.

    Now let’s brainstorm together. For the first movie of the season I want a blockbuster – something to kick the season off with a bang. Something that screams of Hollywood, and drive-ins, and everything that makes movies great. The epitome of the film experience. What is that movie? Or maybe we need something that relates to our new home – maybe a film that is climbing related? That narrows down the options quite a bit.

  • The Show Must Go On!

    We are taking a break for the winter but will be back in Spring of ’08.

    Stay tuned!

  • Oct. 6 – Show Postponed – Another Show?

    Well, Saturday Oct 6 came and went without an announcement about the show – sorry about that folks. I’ve been super busy with a new business (ad)venture that I’ve taken on. And, yes, it is related to the Renegade Picture Show. In fact, it involves the place where the show screens – OKC Rocks.

    I, along with some partners, are purchasing OKC Rocks Climbing Gym! Very exciting. I’ve been keeping this a secret for while as things have been in development but now the word is out. Our close date on the business is Nov 4.

    I plan on continuing the Renegade Picture Show but in the meantime things have been a little hectic and the showings therefore, may be sporadic. I’m going to do my best to have one final 2007 show in October – after that you’ll have to wait until next Spring for the next show.

    We’ll be putting together a schedule of movies for next year – so I’ll keep you posted.

  • Next show will be Oct 6

    I realize the schedule has been a little jumpy lately and I apologize to all of you who are eagerly awaiting the next Renegade Picture Show. There’s a lot going on – the biggest of which is a major personal career change so that is putting a damper on the amount of time I have had to commit to the RPS.

    But rest assured – the season is not over yet!

    Change is afoot. Stay tuned. Our next scheduled show is October 6 and we’re showing Young Frakenstein.

  • UPDATE – Next Show – Sept. 22 (edit: see post above)

    (9/19 EDIT: see most recent post – next show will now be 10/6)
    We are taking a break the next few weekends for some other things – the next Renegade Picture Show is scheduled for Saturday, September 22.

    In the meantime I am working on gaining access to another show location – this one in Norman. It is another really awesome and unique location so I hope that I am able to pull it off.
