wow, very impressive, I guess no other city ever thought of showing classic movies or having older movies available at video rental stores.

well wait a minute, there are probably 5 theaters that show old movies around me

Here is some of what I could see this month > and most are double features

* Duck Soup & Animal Crackers > well I bet at least Groucho would go

* Timecrimes (Los Cronocrimenes) & Let The Right One In (Lat den ratte komma in)

* The Fall

* Almost Famous

* Back to the Future, Back to the Future Part II, Back to the Future Part III

* Close Encounters of the Third Kind & Starman

* Once Upon a Time in the West

* Strangers on a Train & Suspicion

****** Just stopping cause I am tired......

There are definite advantages culturally for living in a big city, especially NY or LA or Boston or Chicago...

Having spent 12 years in Boston and 5 in NYC I did enjoy taking advantage of those sorts of things.

On the other hand, I lived in small apartments, had noisy neighbors, had my car broken into many times, had trouble paying the bills sometime, had to deal with the constant noise of traffic, and was often afraid to walk home at night from the subway.

It's all a trade off I guess. I suppose if I were really rich the city would be a lot more appealing to me, but whenever I miss the great things about the culture, I remind myself of all the bad things.

Yeah, well, I can sleep without city ambient noise and see the stars.

Basically, die.

make sure you don't miss 2001... when I got the chance to see that in a theater, I went from really liking it to adoring it.
