Yeah, I had a similar feeling at a Landmark "Oriental" theater in Milwaukee, except I was watching Burn After Reading so it was more like, I can't wait until this movie is over so I can go check out those giant Buddhas. I did have a similar feeling seeing Lawrence of Arabia at the Ziegfield, though.
Luckily this Cary Grant retrospective is all happening at my neighborhood theater, so it's not too distracting. Today I saw The Awful Truth -- still totally hilarious.
BAM actually has a lot of great restrospectives coming up lately -- Robert Redford, Dario Argento, Juliette Binoche. I just got my advance tix for a screening of Blue, which I can't WAIT to see in a theater. Q&A with Juliette Binoche afterward.
