What I did on my day off.
I did indeed go see a movie yesterday, after having lunch at Chiang Mai Tai. I managed to eat a two-flames-hot plate of pineapple fried rice without my eyes watering. I will defeat my northern European heritage yet!
My friend and I chose to see Walk The Line. I’ve been a fan of Johnny Cash’s music practically my whole life, but I didn’t know much of the details of his life. The smattering I did know I was able to gel with the bits that were depicted on screen.
I heard Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon both learned to play their instruments and sang their own parts. I must say I was impressed. While their singing registers weren’t exactly the same, they did well in imitating Johnny Cash and June Carter.
I saw this film at the Mann 6 in St. Louis Park, near Excelsior and Hwy 100. I’d never been to that theater before, which has a 2-down, 4-up screen setup. Stadium seating and a comfortable temperature were among its advantages. I didn’t try the snackbar, but it looked well-stocked. Not a bad little place.

wow, I used to go to that theater all the time. I had no idea they have stadium seating now, since I think the last time I was there was 2002.
As far as I know, they don’t have stadiium seating. Maybe they have it downstairs and not upstairs. I have only seen movies upstairs…
