Movies in Phoenicia!

If you live near me, this is great news: This Friday (January 25) is the first screening in the long-awaited Last Friday Picture Show series. On the last Friday of every month, our local theatre, Shandaken Theatrical Society, will be showing a great movie on their new-old 16mm projector. In fact, I will most likely be the guy in the projection booth, since I'm sort of in charge of this thing. And yes, there will be popcorn.

This Friday's show is at 7pm: You Can't Take It With You, Frank Capra's 1938 film version of the Pulitzer Prize–winning play by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart. The movie won Oscars for Best Picture and Best Director. Lionel Barrymore has the best hair ever. I'd like to see a cool old-guy hair showdown between Lionel Barrymore and Nick Lowe.

The schedule for the first 6 months of the series is nearly done. I'll post it here.
