“Cram it up your cramhole, LaFleur!”

“Get bent, helmet.”

“Is it necessary for me to drink my own urine? No, but I do it anyway because it’s sterile, and I like the taste.”

As we continue our Summer Movie Series at The Adams Ave Theater this year, we reminisce on the times when funny movie quotes were life. All of us here at Popcorn Reef have hundreds of quotes from the great Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn seared into our minds permanently. Sadly, in 2024, most of the time they present themselves in our lives as odd, knee-jerk, muscle memory reactions. For instance, one of us recently cut ourselves while slicing a lemon and, with a twitch, said, “Nobody makes me bleed my own blood.”

Do we have PTSD? We don’t think so. If anything, it's PTSD from living through today's world, where we don't get stuff like this anymore. In any event, these quotes need to come out the way they were intended to be heard - on a giant screen alongside all of your friends. And that’s what we’re here for.

On July 11th, something even better than Free Slurpee Day is coming to San Diego. That’s right, Cotton. Since we’re all apparently older than Patches O’Houlihan now, we’re hosting a special 20th (!) Anniversary screening of DODGEBALL, and we can guarantee it’s going to be more exhilarating than a rollercoaster that breaks every bone in your body.

Pre-show, we’ll host a costume contest on stage for everyone that comes dressed in character, or as part of Team Average Joes or Team Purple Cobras. One lucky contestant will win the grand prize of Steve The Pirate’s Treasure (or “All of King Midas’s Silver” - whichever you prefer.)

Then, you can sit back and laugh your ass off as we screen one of the funniest movies of all time. Seriously. We revisit DODGEBALL regularly, and it’s an incredible work of art. The way it effortlessly keeps the laughs coming, the whole way through, while still keeping its pulse on the heartwarming and charming story at its core is simply mesmerizing. It makes us want to be a philoso-phizer. Or read about it, in a book.

On July 11th, we’ll see you at 7 PM. We hope that’s convenient for you, and the clock.

DODGEBALL Synopsis:

Average Joe's Gym and its owner, Peter La Fleur (Vince Vaughn), are both down on their luck. A fancy competing gym called Globo-Gym, run by the maniacal health nut White Goodman (Ben Stiller), is about to put Average Joe's out of business unless Peter can raise $50,000 to keep his mortgage. To save the gym, Peter and a ragtag group of Average Joe's members enter a dodgeball contest in Las Vegas with a big cash prize. In response, White forms his own Globo-Gym team to rout the competition.
