Met T at the Variety Screening Room on Market Street last night to catch the special 'for your consideration' awards screening of "Defiance," a movie which is apparently about Jews brooding in the Polish forest. I can't say for certain since we left after the 30 minute mark, our quota of Nazi movie cliches satisfied. We walked out and the projectionist chased us out to verify that we weren't coming back - we were the only ones in the theatre which, instead of making me feel like a movie mogul made me think, We Have Made a Terrible Mistake, a thought that was confirmed as soon as Aryan poster boy Daniel Craig strode valiantly onscreen. I was like, hey, there's a NAZI! And then every time he did his best Tevye accent, I was like, oh, yeah, he's supposed to be Jewish. Seriously, if he were the lead in Valkrie, I might be all over that but I'm not wasting my time watching a tiny dark-haired sprite goose-step around castles. For that, I'd rather re-watch Lord of the Rings. (Up high!)
In sunnier news, I think I'm getting the Changeling and Milk screeners later today. I IM'd the GF about the screeners and she misread it and thought that the office was getting screens for lactating moms.
I adore the GF.
