WERNER HERZOG RETROSPECTIVE AT THE AFI!!!!!!!

Who wants to see AGUIRRE, WRATH OF GOD on the big screen with me tomorrow at 9:00? Having seen it at AFI a couple years ago, I can assure you, this film is somehow even better on the big screen.

Just before that, there'll also be FITZCARRALDO (a film I like, but it's like a less awesome version of AGUIRRE, and the behind-the-scenes story infinitely more interesting) and the amazing POW story LITTLE DIETER NEEDS TO FLY, which Herzog himself adapted as RESCUE DAWN with Christian Bale.

C'mon, folks! 9:00 for AGUIRRE, if nothing else! Let's get grog at Piratz Tavern, and then watch Herzog!

LET'S MAKE IT A HERZGROG NIGHT!

WATCHMEN's at 3:20, so we should be out by 6:30, we'll get to Silver Spring by 7:00-7:30, we can get tickets for AGUIRRE, then go to Piratz for dinner, should be enough time to eat and drink until the show's at 9:00. Sounds like it should all fit nicely!

Shall we take one car or go separately? I live in Cabin John, and since you're... College Park, are you?... I dunno if we could logistically do the "drop one car off and drive together" thing.

Was more worried about getting there at 3 for a show that starts at 3:20. No worries - will aim for 2:30 (which means I might arrive at around 4:45...). I think I've spent too much time in France. XD

Yeah, curse all this logical planning stuff. Even if that were practical, finding a place just to put a car in CP is not fun (but will be looking for alternate lodging in late May - YAY). I can drive to Uptown. We can be the non-green Americans who take individual cars everywhere. Or we could meet in between and go to Uptown, or any of the above. It's like a multiple choice exam, and all the answers are right, yay. Call if you need to. I should be around (if unconscious).

Okay, I'll see you around 2:30ish then! Probably best to play it safe, yeah.

Eh, let's just take two cars then. I'll be sure to take the sedan rather than the minivan, so I can feel at least vaguely green!

Heh, I'm the only one that needs to aim for 2:30. That just means I'll probably get there at 3:15. If you think 20 minutes is enough time to get tickets, then 3pm will do (but I'll continue to think I need to be there by 1 or 2...).

Okay, excellent! 3ish shall I be there indeed! Call me if you're indeed running late to keep me appraised!

Brilliant! I think this deserves a dancing Donna Noble.
