Screen On The Green - The Goodbye Girl

This was a well conceived idea, poorly executed. I mean, I am sure the thousands of people who have been attending this event for the past seven summers had a great time, but our particular night turned out poorly executed. First the good part. We got their early, laid out our yoga mat in a good spot and read while waiting for dark. A brief ninja storm poured buckets on us and was gone in a moment. When when the opening credits for the feature presentation came on, about half the audience leaped up in their place and started waving their hands in the air in time with the music. It all seemed very coordinated and I have no idea what the motivation was but it was pretty funny. The movie started and we bore down to the story which rapidly became a bit confusing (to those of us who had never seen it). About half way through, an announcement came out that this particular film roll was out of sequence. It then proceeded to repeat about 30 minutes of film which we had seen earlier in the wrong order. While it started to make a bit more sense when the section came on the second time as to where it belonged in the movie, we were not ready to sit through 30 minutes of deja vu, so we headed home.
