On Friday I was bummed.<\/p>\n
Across the Universe<\/i> opened wide on Friday. But the closest theater with the film? The DC suburbs.<\/p>\n
Now, there’s nothing wrong with driving thirty miles for a movie. I’ve done it before. But it’s hardly a pleasant drive into the DC suburbs. All that traffic!<\/p>\n
Had yesterday remained dreary and blustery, perhaps I’d have gone to the DC ‘burbs. But I didn’t. The dreariness lasted not past nine.<\/p>\n
This morning’s Baltimore Sun<\/i> had an article on Across the Universe<\/i>. Well, sort of. It was really rather an article on the resurgence of movie musicals, and it talked Across the Universe<\/i> for perhaps two paragraphs.<\/p>\n
According to said article, the film opens in the Baltimore market this coming weekend.<\/p>\n
Which had better be true. I think I need to see this film the way I need oxygen. I think the last thing I jonesed this<\/i> much for was… “Last of the Time Lords.”<\/p>\n
The Sun<\/i> article, as an aside, was not at all complementary toward Across the Universe<\/i>. Well, y’know, I like the soundtrack. The trailer is nothing short of amazing. And there’s no way this is going to be All This and World War II<\/i> or Sgt Pepper<\/i>. No. Sodding. Way. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
