Human Capital was a startling discovery… an engrossing movie, still doing the festivals circuit, not available to the general public… in other words, a MovieNight coup. I managed to find a copy, and it and it lived up to all expectations. Shit. I sobbed uncontrollably, even.

On Thursday night, though, someone (that would be me) was mortified when; a) the subtitles didn’t start automatically; b) when I started them manually, they had funny lines around them, and; c) the motion was jerky enough to cause an epileptic to have a seizure. We persevered, though, and it was kind of OK in the end.

However, “kind of OK” isn’t good enough around here, and after an upgrade to the operating system on the laptop that powers non-disk MovieNight presentations, we invited folks back for a special, Saturday night redo… Valentines day, as a matter of fact. All good. All great. I sobbed again. The take-away? Sound check. Pay attention. OK. Got it.
