Nothing like the Beehive in its heydey, though. I think the newish coffee shop Your Inner Vagabond in Lawrenceville has a movie night now.

Edit--It does--tonight is Waking Ned Devine, next week is Sicko: Your Inner Vagabond - Coffehouse and World Lounge
Looks great! Next time I'm in town I'll have to check that out.

(Sorry for the multi-post. I think I'm having a low-IQ day or something.)

Tho the S Side Beehive looks like it hasn't been cleaned since I started going there in high school.
What a way to impress your date - take her to a movie that shows the filithiest toilet in Scotland!!! BTW, I just saw that movie again recently, and there's parts of it that still make me cringe, but it's still so very cool in a very disturbing way LOL

Oh, to be a callow youth again. I watched it again recently and it was much more dark and menacing than I'd though before. I think the great soundtrack was too distracting.

But back in 1996, the only other major indie film most people our age were aware of was Pulp Fiction, which had little of the psychological depth of Trainspotting. Coffeehouses like the Beehive were a rare thing then too. Mainstream culture really has changed in 12 years.

Gee, I hope you're including me in the "people our age" thing, since I was an old lady of 32 at the time!!! Ten years before that I remember being 22 and seeing "Blue Velvet", which I guess was somewhat of a major indie film back in the day. Talk about disturbing, but it was just such a weird, new genre in the '80s. And before that, David Lynch made "Eraserhead", which has to be the most unwatchable movie ever made.
