I was disappointed in the movie “La La Land”: some not well lit scenes; a difficult story line to follow; too much of that lead Actress in close-ups; that lead guy wasn’t : Charlton Heston, or, Gregory Peck, or, Peter Strauss, or, Burt Lancaster….. Too many folk around me in 2 slums of N.Y.C. behaving la la, [i.e., not healthy]; or, la de dah , [don’t care @ certain situations]….P.S. “Break a Leg.” n.b. Covenant Players , in Calif., instead…; &, some Danish movies….
Terrif idea, and programming.
Is tonight’s movie rain or shine? Or at what time will it be decided to show it or not, given the forecast.
Yes, the movie is on for tonight. It is at 8:00pm
