Sarah and I went to see Reign Over Me last night at Jam Factory. Because of how tight [name withheld due to legal reasons] cinemas are, it seems I've run out of staff comps, so we had to do the unseemly thing of actually paying for tickets!
It turned out to be as good as I hoped it would, from the small snippets I'd seen at work. Both Don Cheadle and Adam Sandler - yes, Adam Sandler - turn in some great performances. The script's very well-written and the direction has a great deal of thought put behind it.
Before the movie, Sarah wanted to get a burger, so we hit up the Soda Rock Cafe. For those unfamiliar with it, it's a '50s-style diner in the middle of Chapel Street. For whatever reason, I have a real obsession with places like this. I think it has a lot to do with Back to the Future. I ordered a hot fudge sunday (I'd already had dinner) and a vanilla coke. Sarah ordered a hot dog combo that ended up being THE BIGGEST HOT DOG WE'VE EVER SEEN. I think it was a foot long.
I'm not sure what was more shocking; the size of the hot dog, or the fact that Sarah managed to finish it all.
After dinner, we still had a little more time to kill, which we did in the Borders next to the cinema. I didn't think it happened outside Empire Records, but there was a woman listening to sample tracks on headphones in the CD section and completely grooving out. She didn't do this for just a few seconds, though. I passed by there a few times over the span of five or ten minutes and she was still going. She even sang a little bit! It was freaky!
This was all after a day that consisted of getting two copies of my manuscript printed off [over $80!]. I think I'm going to have to insist on this editor guy agreeing to publish my book, just so I can justify the expense of it.
