I went to the BAM Cinemateque (a local movie house) today to see the movie "Brick." How is it? When I started writing this blog, I considered putting in movie reviews. As noted previously, posting every day is hard. But really, you could start now and continue until approximately the end of time and not finish every review even of this relatively obscure independent movie. Now, not every post here is a brilliant gem of originality, but dang. How is it? Today's neologism is "Google It".
So what, then, is my point? I've been to the BAM before, and almost didn't recognize the building when standing right in front of it. (See picture, Duh...). They just took down a bunch of scaffolding now, and it looks like there's brackets for new signage, but right now, nada. Across the top of the building it says "Brooklyn Academy of Music," but there's nothing on the outside, not a flyer taped up, or even one of those signs with the hours written in to indicate that there's a movie theater inside.
Maybe that's why there were only 3 people, including me, in the theater. (Well, that and it's 4 p.m. on a Wednesday showing of an obscure arty film that's been playing for a few weeks...)
If anyone connected to the BAM is reading this (hugely likely), borrow a Sharpie.
