If you can get a couple of people to watch Versus with you, it might be worth arranging. There is definitely a contagious laughter effect. There's some slow-burning stuff, like a dramatic camera move that goes on about 1000 times longer than it should. So as it went on and out, a few people started to snicker, and then it built up until by the end the crowd was roaring.
Oh, I really want to see Moon. Maybe I should try to see it on a weeknight, since every weekend I think I'll go, and I never do.
Yes, but how was the not-a-date?!?
I think it went well. We both enjoyed the movie. Nothing happened beyond agreeing that we should do more things together soon, and she seems more comfortable around me, but I wasn't expecting any more than that so I'll take it as a good sign.
My dad and I just got back from seeing The Hurt Locker. That was a really good film--it really made you feel like you were there in Iraq, and Kathryn Bigelow really makes the viewer connect with our three main guys. Just a terrific job all the way around.
DH wants to see that very badly. But I can't find it anywhere around here.
I'm pretty lucky in that my nearest first-run theater is a 21-plex, complete with an IMAX screen, so we get a lot of the smaller indie films here and I don't have to schlep downtown to the River East on Michigan Ave.
It's going to be a hard film to find, I think, although it is nice to see the director out there doing the promotion tour (she was on Colbert Report last night). It's been getting terrific per-screen averages, but the 3:35 show we went to only had about 12 of us in the theater.
REALLY want to see Hurt Locker.
Is it my imagination, or is Kathryn Bigelow really tall? She seemed to tower over Colbert.
She is pretty tall. I think she's about six feet tall.

which hit me in my sappy spots. Joseph Gordon Levitt sure has grown up charming.
