I'm not surprised. I'm trying to see it in 70mm IMAX in Manhattan and every showing is full this week starting at 10am until 11pm. This weekend it will get bumped from IMAX screens for Thunderbolts.

That really sucks given 70mm IMAX is a rarity.

Caught David Lynch's The Straight Story on 35mm in town this weekend. Holy moly. I'd seen it before when I was a teenager on tv (I want to say on the Disney channel, but it may have been IFC), but it absolutely bowled me over this time around. The words I'm looking for are "emotionally overwhelming."

Secretly one of his top 3 best movies.

When I was younger I considered it an outlier in his filmography simply for the directness of the plot, but he's totally present in every frame of that film. There's even [ominous whooshing] over a shot of a grain elevator. You can sense the transcendental meditator in it; I especially love the part where the camera pans from the lawnmower up to the clouds, holds, then comes back down and he's barely moved down the road. The soft whooshing of the cyclists going by is also so wonderful.

I took today off work because I ran a marathon yesterday, but in about an hour I'm limping into the theater to see it!
