I felt it was a very brave endeavour on my part, since Cat informed me that the theater we were going to in Union Square had a bed bug infestation back in August. I gave it some thought. If the last biting was in August they probably took care of the problem, which meant the chemicals were still fresh and I should be in the clear!
The movie theater didn't have stadium seating, which was shocking for this day and age. I was a little disappointed that we didn't get free drinks and popcorn. It would have been a nice thank you for all the crew and their very special guests. And I think they may have teased us by setting up a table of these brown paper bags that were NOT for us. What was in those bags?? But the first episode was very good. I could easily see myself getting hooked. My favorite part was when a little boy said "These eggs taste funny" and his mom answered "Maybe the chicken laughed". Good stuff! I can't wait to use that line one day!
Since Netflix doesn't seem to be getting the first season of Boardwalk anytime soon, I'm very happy Cat invited me because it may be the only episode I'll ever see! It was so nice seeing Omar again, and a happy surprise was that Kelly McDonald (Diane from Trainspotting) had a prominent role!

I'm excited to see it. You got to go to a premier!
if you like Kelly McDonald, you should see Gosford Park. It's a super-English-fuddy-duddy look at the relationships between Upstairs (the rich, idle peeps) & Downstairs (the common, working servants) / murder mystery. It's very dry and there are so many characters you kinda have to watch it 3 times before you're sure who everybody is (which isn't the kind of movie that's up everbody's alley), but Kelly is the lead and gets to be her very Scottish self!
Saw it! But was disappointed if I remember correctly... In Boardwalk she gets to have her accent so I was very happy. I hate when they have to hide them!
