At ocean eleven
an' now rudeboys 'ave a wail...
Saw Ocean's 11 last night. The Desmond Dekker song is not in it, but I ended up with it stuck in my head anyway. It was my first time at the Zigfeld which is a really old and very large theatre on 54th street just off 6th avenue. The biggest in NYC. It's interesting to watch a movie with so many other people. I grew up on those tiny 20 little narrow cinemas in one strip mall places out in the suburbs. A really big screen does make a difference.
I enjoyed the movie while I was watching, but then afterwards we went to dinner and by the end of the meal I already wasn't too sure. Today it's on the way to having been bad. Strange how that works.
Walking out after the show Tom was asking me about the digital projection. I hadn't even noticed it was digital. So I guess the technology is good enough for my eyes. The only thing weird I saw was some kind of upper lip distortion on Julia Roberts, but maybe that wasn't a projection issue.
Did you say strange? Like you can't keep yer eyes off 'em & then you walk outside afterward & the
two bit subliminal residues evaporate leaving behind some filmy discomfort that doesn't subside
for like two days. OK so I don't like Hollywood & its chheesy manipulations of my neuro. Ok so I made a huge mistake thinking i could take my kid to Harry Potter & there we are walkin out halfway thru & he says I'll never dream again!
of course by "really old" you mean, rebuilt in the 70's
