Will blog for film

What u won’t do…  do for film. La la la… you’ll stand anywhere…sing with me even in 30 degree temperatures battling the flu la la la to see something. What did I stand for – the film examined life at IFC in the West Village. I really wanted to go to see the movie as well as Mr. Cornell West who was to appear in person afterwards.

Last night was closing night for a film called “The Examined Life.” I’m glad I got tickets before leaving work. I went right after my meeting and opted not to go home and change. I’m SO glad I did. The line was 6 store fronts long which wasn’t as long as 6 stores would measure in a suburban town but still long for New York. In fact it isn’t even a short city block in New York especially  in the west village. I digress. This was truly one of those events – moments really – that made me feel like a New Yorker. It’s a moment when I’ve acted like a New Yorker too. Not that I was about to let my $12. 50 go to waste because it was rather chilly nor was I thinking of how it would be well after 12 once I get home. Technically that is early for this city but I was sick. Ok, yes the thought of home was in my head but my money was spent.  I wasn’t going back home.

You see, this documentary is one that I’ve wanted to see since I first heard about it. Sure it will screen somewhere else but hey its screening here first and this is where I’m seeing it.   I love how people don’t know how to obey a line. It’s clearly one line and a guy is next to me as if he’s my companion in the line. And, now I see him trying to inch up, that’s so not flying buddy.

Crazy, I’m so tired!  And, I’m out here in the cold.  Only in New York.
