the movie
it rained on and off today, which put the kibosh on our outdoor movie designs.
i thought it might be fun to go see fahrenheit 911 on opening night. a few people mentioned it–jane said the varsity had sold out. it was also playing at the rialto (nice theater, but way out in raleigh) and the carolina theater in durham.
i figured i had a sporting chance at the carolina, their website said the box office doesn’t start selling tickets until 30 minutes before the first showtime. so i got in the car and drove to durham. which is not something i do a lot.
when i got there the 7pm had sold out, the 9:20 had less that 100 tickets left, and they had added an 11:30pm showing. i was able to get three tickets for 9:20. one for me, one for jane, and one for her friend heidi from peace corps, in town for a wedding this weekend in charlotte.
i drove back home very pleased with myself and had some food. i was happy that i’d be seeing it in a packed, sold-out theater with other energetic fans also seeing it for the first time.
what you think of it? i want to go see it but am unsure about paying a lot of money? so tell me what you thought of it.
i thought the movie was great. it showed a lot of things but the end was my favorite. out of all of congress 1 parent has their child enlisted. so micheal moore tried to get other congressmen to sign up their child . did it work? hell no but it showed that no one wants to send their own child to go to war. go see the movie if you already haven’t.
katie, i’m glad you got to see it. i did see it too, we had a great time, the audience was very involved, cheering and jeering.
considering how psychotic and spineless some people in the media are, it really helps paint a cohesive picture of the under-represented feelings of many people in the country.
