Since November 11, when the Watch-A-Thon kicked off, I've caught nine Brattle screenings and two non-Brattle ones. For those of you who pledged-per-movie, that's 10 movies (non-Brattle screenings count as half) in 11 days. Not my best time, but not a bad pace for the first leg, y'know?

* When I went in for RAJA, I was a coin-flip away from committing to A MAN ESCAPED again. Mother Nature decided it for me when she delivered a torrential downpour at the end of RAJA. ESCAPED turns out to be a very good bit of meditation on film for a rainy night. A scoop of Toscanini's ice cream didn't hurt none, neither. =)
** That's right, twice in the same day. Damn good movie! SEE IT! =) Alas, big screen options are now unlikely except perhaps at second-run venues, but retailers are already taking pre-orders for the gor-am DVD, available in time for Santa to deliver.
Keep on keepin on~
