Grindhouse

Sunday, April 15th, 2007

Went to Sacramento a few weeks ago.  Saw Guinness and Angie’s adorable little baby.  Played the Wii.  Tried to buy a Wii in New York and no one has it.  SO annoying.

Saw lots of old friends and had a nice time.  Smooshed my nephew Baz and can’t wait to smoosh him again in May.

Okay.  I saw Grindhouse and it was my favorite movie of the year!!!  It was fantastic…hilarious, clever and a complete surprise.  I organized an event on Saturday where a few of us met up at a local dive bar off of Times Square and saw the 10:45 showing of Grindhouse at AMC 42.  That’s right, Times Square movie theater.  Normally this is the opposite of what I would ever do…the movie theater is always filled with the rudest audiences.  But for Grindhouse, it is perfect.  It is such a rush to feel an audience completely freak out during a movie.

For some reason, this movie is not doing well.  I know, it’s 3 hours and incredibly violent, but it is still one of the best things I’ve seen in a long while.  The most fun.
