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!

Thanks, babe. I look forward to hearing from you. I can't guarantee that I'll be entirely coherent, but I'll try and make it out there nonetheless.

Also, I wasn't expecting Watchmen to be record-breaking, just comparable to other big comic book movies. Granted, I haven't actually compared them; I've just heard people's assessments of it. So that's my research for ya.
