Proudly Announcing the Next Mercury Hecklevision: CON AIR.

Erik HenriksenFebruary 11, 2013 9:59 amJuly 12, 2022 8:49 pm

Only two words can describe the next Mercury-approved Hecklevision: FUCK and YES.

FUCK YES. It’s Nicolas Cage’s 1997 aerial action epic Con Air, screened as it’s never been screened before—with your smartass texts beamed directly from your phone right onto the giant-ass movie screen. A night to end all nights? You bet your goddamn ass!

Put it in your calendar: Hecklevision: Con Air. Saturday, February 23. Hollywood Theatre, 4122 NE Sandy. 7:30 pm. $8. It’s gonna feel so good. So good.

HECKLEVISION: CON AIR So good.

Seriously?! I’ve been stalking the Merc to see when the next showing of Hecklevision is. I even quit my Saturday job, except for one last fill in, so a co worker can have his girlfriends birthday off, and its the fucking 23rd of Feb.

FML, Steve Buscemi character is going to be a fun one.

A couple of good candidates (IMHO) for Hecklevision are Black Dog and Maximum Overdrive. Black Dog is just plain awful, but Max Overdrive is sort of campy.
