ABYSSFUL

I have the obvious indication that no one is reading one line of all my blather.
So who knows if BUSH is listening or some, perhaps minions of his toxic administraion.
Anyway..IF you are listening then go see AUGUST:OSAGE COUNTY at the Inperial Theatre and ATONEMENT ASAP! These are two terrific offerings and will certainly give you a few hours of intelligence that is not DIDACTED!
AUGUST:OUSACE COUNTY got 17 out of 18 RAVES in the press reviews and is worth more as far as I am concerned.
I sat through a 3PM viewing of THE GOLDEN COMPASS and found it beautiful but too full of that CGI stuf that was thrilling when it was introduced but now overused to a tedium.
Daniel Craig fulfilled his SAG Insurance requirements on this project and unfortunately never shed a garment. Nicole Kidman is so brethtakingly gorgeous and stunningly clothed she MUST do the GRACE KELLY Story soon before her alabaster glory turns to ash..which should be no time soon if this is any indication.
She is subtle and cunningly interesting in this ..far more so than the twitching story. Eva Green is likewise a glory onscreen. This time as a flying witch. She was a stunner in CASINO ROYALE.
I was disgruntled at the beginning of the film as a Jamaican grandfather with a young boy & girl came in and sat right behind me. In an almost empty theatre.
I promptly moved over to the center about 10 seats away and made myself comfortable.
AS the film started the littel girl kept talking at full volume until I and a few others SHHH-ed her to silence.
It was placid for a few minutes until the crackly unwrapping of the candies started. Then the Grandfather started snoring and that was white noise after about 5 minutes. I managed to calm my nerves until the littel girl coughed her way through almsot all the film.
Anyway: I sat through most of the film it was at Loews 34th St top floor theatre..I had to go to the bathroom and held myself in tow until I couldn't stand it. SO I waited till after a major battle scene and ran down the escalators to the floor below and then ran back upstairs...JUST as the credits were rolling. SO I have NO IDEA how the film ended.
AAAH for the days of being able to sit through as many showings as you cared to...and that at about 25 cents on Saturday mornings when Mom drove me to the local movie house...with a lunch bag.
Remember that anyone? A double feature...even a newsreel..and a good many BLARINGLY TECHNICOLORED CARTOONS...I think they began at 11 AM!!
I am not put off by the weather although friends are grumpy about it. I find it invigorating. Especially the very cold days. As long as it is not raining and windy!
I had a stressful afternoon of auditioning and a very accelerated morning caring for my infirm partner who is still recovering form foot surgery.
I thought a couple of hours being sucked into cinema fantasy would calm and comfort. BUT NO!
