I feel like total and utter ass today. My stomach is completely rebelling and my whole body aches. Typical that on a gorgeous day all I want to do is curl up under a blanket and whine.
In better news, Rope is playing down at the Harris this coming weekend. It's an awesome movie and if anyone wants to go see it, I would love to have the excuse (I actually own it, so I can't justify going just on my own accord).
June 6 - 8 at Harris Theater
Rope
This Hitchcock classic, based on a famous murder case of the '20s, tells the chilling tale of two young intellectuals who want to prove their superiority by murdering a friend, stashing his body in a living room chest, then throwing a dinner party where they give clues to the guests. Quite experimental in its day, Rope is noteworthy for its use of "real" time. Within the confines of a single penthouse set, the film is shot in ten-minute takes with a continuously panning camera; all cuts are concealed without lapses in the narrative. Stars Jimmy Stewart and Farley Granger. (Alfred Hitchcock; USA; 1948; 80 min)
