A Girl With a Sword

barking legs and shiny floors

Friday night I decided to venture off with a few friends to the Free Film Club movie night some UTC program (or someone, I'm not sure of the details there) has set up at the Barking Legs Theatre over by New City and Yum-Yum's. I'd seen this place from the outside before; it's hard to miss. They have neon green legs hanging down from the roof and inside they have them coming out of the walls. The actual "theater" was a big room with theater-style chairs at one end, a large, black, shiny floor, and a screen at the other end. One thing I found amusing during the film was that the screen was reflected in the shiny floor. Anyway, there were only four rows of seats and not enough people to fill half of them. The film we watched was horror and the atmosphere was relaxed. I like going to movie theaters where I feel like I can yell at the screen if I want to. This may be a great flaw in me. Perhaps I am not taking the theater experience seriously enough (I haven't decided where I fall in the clapping vs. not clapping in the movie theater debate, but I think I like the interaction). The film we saw was called Carnival of Souls, one of those you-cheated-death-now-death-is-out-to-get-you horror flicks. Charming.
