Last night I went to see Rebel Without a Cause as this artsy film house in town. I freakin' love that move. I even contemplated bringing my life-sized card board cut-out of James Dean and sitting him in the seat next to me, but it was raining.
My one disappointment from yesterday was simply that the projectionist started the reel too late. This was upsetting to me because the opening to the film is my favorite part. Rather than fading from black to the production company title then swelling into the orchestral, Hollywood theme, they started it about five measures into the score, completely ruining the overwhelming grandness of the opening. Other than that, it was great. It was fantastic seeing it on a big screen and in the company of other people. I went with a friend who had never seen it before and was delighted by the fact that she loved it. The whole thing was made even better by the fact that it was free with our student Ids, something we had been unaware of until we reached the ticket booth. Score!
Somewhat related, a friend of mine actually lives near the observatory from the movie. When I visit her, (at some point in the future), she's agreed to bring me there where (I only presume) we'll re-enact the knife fight and final scene of the movie and take tons of photos to document it. I can't wait!
