The trailing edge of the film slaps loudly against the projector behind me."<br />And anytime a story has the word Palookaville in it is perfect by me.Cathy Olliffe-Websterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12729578896443750402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1736428277691850338.post-86001351349055238042011-05-01T20:23:10.283-07:002011-05-01T20:23:10.283-07:00Very clever, Harry.

I like that the movie theatre is filled with people who've seen the movie so many times they can recite the lines. It reminds me of those who repeatedly watch the Rocky Horror Picture Show or Monty Python's Holy Grail. Movies like those take on a life of their own in the pop culture of society, don't they? This is good stuff, Harry. I enjoyed it.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04753736809917062955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1736428277691850338.post-76901406114167132612011-05-01T03:59:31.824-07:002011-05-01T03:59:31.824-07:00Really nice, compact slice of life, where everythi...Really nice, compact slice of life, where everything works out in between that great Waterfront dialogue. Reminded me of the Rocky Horror Picture Show with the audience participation. Good feel of businesslike avoidance of a riot, and I haven't remembered Woody Woodpecker in years...
