thank you Michael Moore
Michael Moore saved me $10.25 when I went to the movies tonight with my friend Cindy. Many moons ago, while leaving Lowes after attending the 1am screening of Fahrenheit 9/11, the staff at Lowes handed everyone a "one free admission" ticket. Pretty cool, eh? And no, my Republican friends, it is not bribery because we didn't know beforehand. With the little wisdom I still have, I finally remembered to use the ticket, and it's a good thing that I used this wisdom because it's getting extracted on Monday morning. I'm sure The Roundtable folks will find the after effects quite amusing at the screening of Girl Wrestler presented by Women Make Movies - 7:30pm at the Millennium Theater - 66 E. 4th Street, between Second & Bowery (shameless plug). So I'm walking over to the theater and I see a snake line wrapped around 11th Street and up Third Avenue at least twice. For half of a millisecond, I thought the second Star Wars prequel had been released. I quickly learned that the line was for a popular Filipino band that was playing at Webster Hall and I have a feeling Webster Hall's line scared off some moviegoers and worked to our benefit because there were no line at Lowes on a Friday night? Neither Cindy nor I had read any movie reviews, therefore our plan was to see the movie which had not yet sold out. Walking up to the window we noticed all of the options were available so we ended up choosing by process of elimination while standing at the window. In the end it was the right choice, we both loved the movie, it took us to another place and another time, it made us feel all those things which good movies are capable of doing. I'd rather not give away the storyline, the ending or hype it up. I'll just say that after a week of Cindy's mouse problems and my mouth problems...we found our neverland.
