An improved movie-going experience
Tonight I attended a screening of "Be Kind Rewind," the new movie about two New Jersey guys (Jack Black and Mos Def) who film cheap remakes of classic movies. See, I say "new" because it's not actually out for the general public to see until Friday.
This was a press screening, meaning only select members of the media (and a guest) were invited - at no charge, of course. However, there's not a lot of press in the greater Palm Springs area so we were the only two in the theater. And let me tell you, partaking of a private screening is a vast improvement over the alternative - when the unwashed masses are there to act like jackasses.
It pays to sleep with a film critic.

To answer your question, Sharon: yes, that is coincidence. In fact, it is pretty much a textbook example of coincidence.

Okay - I didn't see an opinion about this movie on either of your pages...forget private screening - how was the movie? (hmm there were no D's in my code, what the hell?)
