Fri, 7:42: Two very young men just passed me on scooters, one in front of the other, the first looking back several times to smile brightly at the other, and I found myself charmed by them. Ah, sweet and innocent youth, probably destined to die horribly in an epic natural disaster in thirty or forty years!
Fri, 22:13: I just attended my first in-theater SIFF screening in three years, and it was so poorly attended, it bummed me out. I counted, and about 15 people came, not including a few volunteers, and the director, a woman who came from Kosovo to attend. I feel kind of bad for her. And the movie was good!
In the Before Times, even the biggest turd of a movie at SIFF would tend to be packed.
