We went to see Red Hook Summer at BAM. Before I say anything else, let me just take a moment to talk about the coffee. At the concession stand. It's terrible. And for $2.25 for 8oz in a 12oz cup, it's extra bad. I know, I know. You don't expect good coffee at the same place you pay $5.50 for a soda the size of a fishbowl, but my experience before coming to New York was that "art house" theaters tend to offer a higher grade of snacks and beverages. Illy should be the standard, and nobody should drop below a Starbucks level. You've obviously got a more discerning viewer than the person who sees Expendables 2 multiple times and considers it the film of the decade. A more discerning palate wouldn't be a shock. I think we'd all agree that if we have the choice, we'd pay an extra fifty cents or even a dollar for a regular sized and well made cuppa joe while we enjoy a Wes Anderson film or a documentary about a font.

So the movie... It was good. Some great camera shots. The guy from The Wire is amazing. The big twist halfway through was a shocker. There are a couple "Dawwww" scenes, and some good laughs. Worth watching, but you could wait till it comes to tv or Netflix or something.
nice to have you back.
