Imagine walking into a movie theater. To your surprise there is a huge line of people. After you pick up your ticket, you go purchase some candy at the concession stand. Now imagine if you didn’t keep a diet that would not let you feel any guilt as you splurge on M&Ms and milk duds. Once you have your candy, you enter your section, where lively and high-spirited moviegoers surround you. Finally imagine your significant other sitting next to you.
Now open your eyes to see nobody next to you except your man purse. If that is not pathetic enough, you are at a deserted theater where there are only 4 guys watching a movie.
That was my Tuesday afternoon.
On February 15th, I went to the to see the live action short films that were nominated for an Oscar. The short films included: The Confession, The Crush, Na Wewe, Wish 143, and God of Love.
Wish 143 can be found in the following link http://www.bbc.co.uk/filmnetwork/films/p00bjp8d
323 Avenue of the Americas New York, NY 10014-4403 (212) 924-7771
My trip was actually pretty good because I actually knew where the IFC Theater was located. I think being lost that one time in West 4th paid off.
I took the F Train from Avenue X and spent an hour listening to J. Cole and the RX Bandits on the train. With fifteen minutes to spare, I hoped to see fellow classmates.
What I found was a man eating popcorn while reading the New York Post. The first sign of human life were two attractive women that accidentally came to the live action section while looking for the animated shorts. I should have brought my love dart 3000s but I left them at home (STORY OF MY LIFE). After two other guys came, which makes for a really pathetic sight, the short films finally begin.
Follow Raymond Goodfellow as he becomes a modern day Cupid. Can he make the girl of his dreams fall in love with him?
By Na Wewe, I was mostly thinking about one thing, food. The concession stands were not an option. Before I start talking about how I hate being on a diet, I have a confession to make. In the name of Milton Hersey, I confess that I ate a salad. I’ll admit that was not funny. Without hurting my masculinity any further, I really enjoyed most of the short films. For 13 dollars I saw five well-written movies that surpass what Hollywood typically produces. “Independent films are where you really get to cut your teeth and have some fun and do the things that mainstream Hollywood doesn’t want to do,” says Comedian/Actor Anthony Anderson. I really had a fun time. I hope to see more from the IFC Theater.
SO glad you included your man purse, I respect that.
Man purses = the future of dating.
You heard it here first.
I like that quote a lot, independent=’cut your teeth,’ hmm.
While the “man eating popcorn while reading the New York Post” sounds boring, why doesn’t he qualify as “human”? Like, the two chicks walking in were the FIRST “sign of human life”? Come on, just ’cause a dude reads a newspaper at the movies doesn’t make him sub-human.
This post actually made me “laugh out loud” !
This post was hilarious, it really described your thoughts about that day and I loved reading about in your post!!!! i mean, man purse, and the exclaimed statement of (story of my life) 🙂 funny !
