Re: Movie night @ Rocky's
Excellent, it'll be cool to see you again so soon!
Anything you'd like to see in the best quality format you can manage. Rick's in charge of the whole thing and chooses the material but is interested in hearing what people want to see.

Re: Movie night @ Rocky's
As recent as can be managed. It's more like coming over to a friend's house to watch flix on his new home theater with giant screen than going to the movies...with the benefit of full menu and bar :D

Will all these movies be recent releases or older flicks?
Re: Movie night @ Rocky's
Mine does not but Rick's does as well as the projector. We're using a DVI cable at the moment ad it looks great! DVD's and whatever other format although we do not have an easy way to watch blueray without having someone bring their player from home. My laptop has an HD-DVD but unfortunately that format never took off. :(

Apos, does your laptop have an HDMI out?

But you live there.
Re: Movie night @ Rocky's
everyone that goes to rockys isnt a 3 day vacationer though.
some guys live there. some vacation for a few weeks.
you can take your "wife" there for a nice dinner & movie date :D
Re: Movie night @ Rocky's
Sounds like it is a good business decision. I certainly wouldn't mind taking the early part of an evening hanging at Rockys for some pizza, beer and a movie. If there is a chica that I like and who can understand english well enough, I would probably bring her along too. Can be the start of a fun night!
Re: Movie night @ Rocky's
Tonight there was LIVE NBA on the BIG SCREEN and the lower area was PACKED!

Re: Movie night @ Rocky's

Probably the largest screen in Sosua at 12' wide by 8' high! It has a great sound system, with Peavy speakers, LCD HDMI projector and my laptop for the player. :o
It starts at about 7:00pm, every Wednesday night, with "24" and the movie about 8:00pm. There is no admission charge
It ain't mongering but sometimes you need a little down time or diversion from chasing chicas.
I think this is a great idea and Rocky's is the perfect place for it.

Maybe Rockys will wind up being in competition for customers with the Shark Bar if they consistantly show the big sporting events like NBA playoffs, boxing, World Cup etc. Would Rick consider doing a Sunday NFL gameday when football season starts? It could make for some raucous afternoons with a bunch of tourists and expats yelling and screaming for their teams. Maybe put out a sandwich board on the sidewalk out front to entice passers by. Offer some discounted appetizers and with the beer being priced reasonably, it could be a boon for business.

It would probably go over very nicely.
If you're just staying in Sosua, mid-afternoon when the sun is at it's hottest isn't really the best time to be out and about in Sosua, and that would be ideal to watch the game or some movies. Rocky's is well covered enough so that - assuming the projector is a good one - you should be able to show content pretty much all day long.
I don't really recall Rocky's having much in the way of sports-bar like appetizers other than wings, but if Rick basically stole TGI Friday's menu and had mozzarella sticks, spicy fries, sliders, potato skins and all that healthy stuff, :rolleyes: he could probably get quite a following.
The movie people are probably most concerned about people who are charging to watch, and likely couldn't care less about regular DVD viewing, but I'm no expert on that. I have a feeling that as long as you keep the Sheriff and Mayor properly compensated, you can get away with more than a few things in Sosua, and showing movies in public probably isn't real high on their ish list.
I'm sure that sports events are ok, unless they want to shut the whole town down.

They shut the whole town down for one night last Saturday night and in the mid nineties they shut the whole town down for over a year.. It can happen but I doubt showing movies at Rockys will trigger it!!!!
Re: Movie night @ Rocky's
I stopped in last night to check out the new screen. Very big and surprisingly very good picture for the size. Now if they could upgrade the seating it would be somewhere to go for a change of pace in Sosua.
Re: Movie night @ Rocky's
Lakers vs Suns about to begin! :D
