Dubious Value

According to the latest calendar from The Cleveland Cinematheque, Saturday, March 29, was the worst attended day in the Cinematheque's history. They showed Kubrick's Fear and Desire and The Good, the Bad, the Weird and got only 12 people for both. That weekend was the Cleveland International Film Festival and there was also a blizzard, so this poor attendance isn't exactly shocking. I can personally attest to this, as I was one of the 12. After attending two CIFF films in the afternoon I drove through the snow to catch The Good, The Bad, the Weird. This Korean spaghetti-western inspired film set in 1930s Manchuria features not one, not two but three nigh invincible gunmen who fight bandits, the Japanese army and each other in highly stylized fight scenes. If you like that sort of thing is well worth the time it'll take you to watch it.

Anyway, as milestones go, it's not quite up there with attending game 456 of the Tribe's then record 455 game sellout attendance streak, but I suppose it is some kind of milestone.

i was there, cinema, baseball
