daytime movie watching

There's something about watching movies in the morning that just makes the rest of your day a little weird. Today was the first go for my speculative cinema class. It looks like it's going to be fascinating, but pretty intense. I'm one of only two non-cinema majors, and the other guy is only business because he's still trying to apply for film (a separate and much harder process). Several of the 20 students are taking this as a grad class.

This morning we watched the 1979 film Time After Time. Due to a scheduling conflict, we watched the film in the 350 or so seat Norris Theater -- all 20 of us. That was kind of weird. The movie itself was good. It just feels like you should get out of a movie and have it be night time, not 1pm.

Oh yeah, and the film had David Warner in it -- Sark from Tron. I love that movie. And he's also been in about 150 other things, but Tron's what's important.
