I went to see Animal House last night at the Ohio Theatre. It was part of the summer movie series and it was fun because they tried to do it the way they did in the old days. They had an organ player tapping out some tunes and he introduced the movie, which was preceded by a short cartoon. After an hour of Animal House, they had a 15 minute intermission before showing the last half. All for $3.50.
Let's face it, Animal House is a classic, maybe the best comedy ever made. I learned last night that Donald Sutherland took an upfront payment of $40,000 for his role because he didn't think the movie would be a success. Had he taken a gross percentage, he would have earned between $30-$40 million. Oops. Anyway, if you are in Columbus, go down to the Ohio Theatre and catch this flick tonight or Friday night. It's worth it.
