Hot Tub Cinema Is Coming to Brisbane
The only cinema you're like to get pruny at — hopefully.
As much as we love catching a movie under the stars, it's not usually something you do while sitting in a pool of heated water. Enter Hot Tub Cinema Brisbane. Coming to an undisclosed location from September 1 to 14, this novelty nickelodeon works exactly the way you think it does: you and your mates strip down to your togs and enjoy a flick from the comfort of a bubbling tub.
Melbourne has already dabbled with the concept, with retro films and cocktails aplenty — and Sydney will be splashing around in warm water come July. Now it's Brisbane's turn, and much of the rest of the country as well. The Gold Coast, Perth, Adelaide and Canberra will also get in on the fun in September, while Newcastle, Hobart and Wollongong are listed as coming soon.
The organisers of Hot Tub Cinema Brisbane are yet to reveal which films will feature on the program, although shame on them if they don't include Jaws or, failing that, Splash. And yes, in case you were wondering, their upcoming Sydney season does include the obvious pick: Hot Tub Time Machine. Spots will be sold on a first-come, first-serve basis, although you can sign up for pre-release tickets.
