Support Indie Cinema, Please

Last night I saw the movie Imaginary Heroes at the Broadway in Salt Lake. We went to the 7:25 showing, and there was a grand total of seven people in the theater.

Seven.

Now I know that if I had attended one of the big Hollywood movies, the theater would have been packed. I don't try to be a movie snob. It just depresses me when such a great movie like Imaginary Heroes can only get seven people to see it on a Saturday night. Do yourself a favor. Go see this movie. I compare it to somewhere between American Beauty and Ordinary People. (Note that both of those films won Best Picture.) This movie is about a severely dysfunctional family and how they attempt to heal after a suicide. Sigourney Weaver is excellent, as is Emile Hirsch, who portrays a teen trying to find himself in the midst of this family crisis. Damn good movie.

Now, on a lighter note, it looks like one of my overly-creative buddies has given us some comedy. Please check this out:

(I think I know who authored this little bit if Internet comedy. Ain't that right, Smellson?)

Oh, by the way, X96 loves Park City. (And we're about to prove it!)
