I also can't believe it's now just a few hours. When they first announced the making of this film five years ago, I was so excited. And then came the waiting, the stalling, the putting-off, the re-scheduling ad infinitum, going on for years. I was convinced that it would never happen. There would be talking, planning and then shelving - end of project. I totally believed it would never happen.
We've picked the time for the Saturday matinee - 1:50 p.m. We have a caravan of five cars heading up the interstate, gathering first at a friend's house, where two more cars will join us on the pilgrimage to the theater. It'll look like a funeral procession (how appropriate!). After enjoying the cinematic spectacular, we're going back to our friend's house for "dunch" (lunch/dinner), preceded by spirits, "enough to fill the hull of a schooner."
