For a brief period of time while living in Jackson Hole, I crashed in a small basement bedroom with a group of hippies and their dogs. The front door was never locked and weed was the dominating smell. It was an interesting experience for me. However, I did come to appreciate ski porn which were the only images displayed on the tiny tv in the living room. Ski porn is not what you might think. Ski porn is what the other members of the house would call ski and snowboarding footage with a techno or hip-hop soundtrack and it was incredible. (Most of the videos we watched were produced by Teton Gravity Research.) My interest in ski porn somewhat explains my excitement about the release of First Decent next week.
I spent my Sunday watching movies at the Metreon. I hate the Metreon. It is like a techno-mall with a movie theatre. Unfortunately, the Metreon is the best movie theatre in town as far as picture and sound quality are concerned and I had a gift certificate. I saw the new Harry Potter and Rent.
Of course, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire was both great and disappointing. Yes, I've read all the books multiple times, so I expect the visuals in my head to be perfectly recreated on screen which is impossible. I hate watching movies based on books, especially books I love. But how can you not see the new Harry Potter movie?
Rent was also a movie I was hesitant to see since I had never seen the theatre production. Although an excellent movie, as I left the theatre I felt as I did after seeing Chicago: the live theatre production is probably much more impressive.
I saw a preview for "First Decent" this weekend and immediately thought of you. It shouldn't have surprised me to see you post about it.
