Talk:The Brain Leeches

1978
I've removed the year. Its not clear when the film was shown as the source just states "(1978)", which doesn't mean it was released then as that could easily be a copyright date. We need more specific sources. Andrzejbanas (talk) 03:26, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
 * The Orlando Sentinel reference shows a scene being shot on or about May 28, 1978, with a note that Ray intended to show the film locally that fall. Ray confirms that he did indeed have a local showing.Gulbenk (talk) 04:18, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I hear that, but we are combining two things and making them into one here. It sounds like the pieces fit, and I wouldn't blame anyone to suggest thats the case, but if we don't have any confirmation that this was the screening, we can't combine two bits of information and assume that's the solution.

 * I can't dispute that logic. I've been in touch with Ray, who confirmed that he showed the film in a banquet hall of a local country club later that year, selling tickets and distributing a program. He said that he might have something (a local news article, or a copy of that program) in his scrapbook, and that he would try to dig it up. At very least, we might get another image for Commons. At best, a lead to a published reference. But this is ancient history and very low priority to Ray. Nonetheless, I'm hoping that he is so bored in his quarantine situation that he actually might do it. Cheers. Gulbenk (talk) 15:28, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
