A whole year can go by and I don't set foot in a cinema for a grownup movie, so I savor every minute. I even savored the part last night where I squirted liquid butter-flavored product all over my popcorn and my shirt (a dousing of Dawn hours later and into the laundry, then—poof!—all gone!). And I even bought it hook, line, and sinker when they did that faux "Crouching Tiger" thing that turned out to be a PSA about turning off your cell phone. Fun! Here's what we saw for coming attractions, a very puzzling selection if you ask me:
"Freedomland" - First I said, "Yippee, I love Julianne Moore!" Then I said, "Oh boy, Samuel L. Jackson too!" Then I said, "Not for any money would I see a creepy movie where a four-year-old boy is kidnapped."
"Something New" - Puh-lease. "Waiting to Exhale" meets "Jungle Fever." This is the demographic they were targeting for "Brokeback Mountain"?!
"Thank You for Smoking" - This one looks like it will be a lot of fun.
I'm pretty sure there was a fourth trailer, but I can't remember it. Book group ladies, help me out?
You're brave, Karen! Every time I go to the movies, I end up yelling at someone who was confused about cinema etiquette.
BTW, happy weekend. Long time no comment!

You have an excellent short-term memory. I couldn't remember any of the trailers except Freedomland, which looked creepy and depressing. I can't get Jack and Ennis out of my head.
