Going to go see "The Big Red One" at the Brattle at 8, sitting in the balcony as usual. Join if you'd like. It's said to be an astounding war movie (WWII) whose original 1980 release was so butchered by the studio that it lost all its nerve, and so failed to make much of a cultural impression. (Have you ever heard of it before? I haven't.) This is a re-assembled re-release that is supposed to recapture the director's original vision. Should be interesting.
(The Brattle, like the MFA, is a cultural fountain that I have barely made much effort to bathe in, even though I pass it (sort of) every day (more or less) on the way to work (if you will). Though I manage to go to the Brattle way more than the MFA. Because I like movies. Lots and lots.)
