05/24/2001 Entry: "Way too much time in the dark."

Actually, it's not the dark, it's that the seats at the Castro Theatre aren't the most comfortable in the world. But I would be intimately familiar with them if I went to see all 23 movies I marked for the 25th Annual International Lesbian and Gay Film Festival. I think I need to edit my list a little. (To warn you, though, their online catalog this year uses frames in a really dumb way. Bleah.)

23 movies? That's more movies than I see all year! I can probably manage 10 or so. Though I do have at least two friends who take those weeks off work, get festival passes, and see everything they can. Lat year one of these friends saw something like 46 films in ten days. The mind (ahem) reels....
