Although I had downloaded a copy (for pre-screening purposes only) almost a year ago, and had had (had had?) a bunch of people telling me to watch the bloody thing (and bloody it was!), I hadn&#8217;t taken the time to watch it, perhaps having been concerned that (from the few bits I&#8217;d skimmed through) Zofi might be upset by it (the cat). In the end, it was <a title=\"See who suggested what.\" href=\"http:\/\/www.movienight.richardlohr.com\/stuff\/?page_id=12\" target=\"_self\">Sasha<\/a> who pushed me over the precipice of indecision, and since Zofi was away on a business trip, I thought, &#8220;Why not take a chance?&#8221; OMFG! Insane. Beautiful. Shocking. Funny. I mean, if the Greeks could come up with this stuff on a regular basis they wouldn&#8217;t need a bail out from the EU. (Speaking of witch, don&#8217;t get me started on the similarity between Angela Merkel and an angular merkin. Really. Don&#8217;t.)<\/p>\n<p>The sheen of the evening was somewhat scuffed up by my sarcastic jab at a long-time MovieNight freeloader. I had been grappling with this conundrum for a few years: Is it OK for people to just come to MovieNight and install themselves on a sofa for the duration without visiting the bar? I mean, after all, this endeavor wasn&#8217;t initiated for commercial purposes. It was all about curation, education, fun. I had concluded that you just had to let it go&#8230; maybe some people couldn&#8217;t afford even an economical night out, and after all, what difference would it make? There was plenty of space. Somehow, this week, I lost it, and I&#8217;m sorry to say that I made it clear to the aforementioned ex-patron. A popcorn bucket was slammed down on the bar (not with inappropriate ardor) upon her exit.<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the evening was quite lovely.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">More about this film on IMDb  <a title=\"IMDb\" href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt1379182\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-348\" title=\"imdb\" src=\"http:\/\/www.movienight.richardlohr.com\/stuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/imdb.gif\" alt=\"imdb\" width=\"31\" height=\"15\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Of course, I don&#8217;t mean that&#8230; really.
