Zombie Jamboree
Oct. 16th, 2003 02:59 pmI went to the movies last night. Normally, I don't write about movies, but this experience was thought-provoking enough to merit a little scrutiny. Normally, I don't go to the movies without my Lady. Normally, I don't go to movies where I'd expect one of the main selling points to be blood and gore. So, last night, while my Lady was at SCA dance practice, I went to see a double feature of zombie movies...
I've been in Boston a long while, but for some reason I've never made it to the Brattle Theatre in Harvard Square. It's tucked a bit out of the way, and doesn't have a big marquee. Ticket prices are the usual downtown $8.50, but the double-feature was a two for one. The place needs a bit of work on it's audio system, the seats are a bit cramped, and it was pretty darned hot in the theatre. But, the place seems to focus on more artsy movies you won't see elsewhere, and they sell a number of different flavors of ice-cream and sorbet.
