swan lake movie, imax

 in the afternoon i went to another movie at an AMC theater, this time it was 'swan lake', in Roseville. guess that one of their auditoriums is IMAX. i was trying to find out in advance if it was going to be subtitled, as i knew it was a production of the paris ballet. found out it didn't have to be, as they don't sing, they just dance. so it was like when i saw a belly dance version of 'wizard of oz', at the minnesota fringe festival a few years back. after a little while, i caught on with what has happening with the story despite no words. when most stories are driven by two or three characters, one would see how those onstage the most were the two that had fallen in love, and the villain. i managed to stay awake, despite being tired and in a darkened room. it helped that i switched positions every so often in my seat. there was a decent sized crowd for this screening, likely aided by it being a limited-release film. it was only scheduled for three days in theaters, and a limited number of screenings on those three days as well. this was the only one scheduled in Roseville for the day, and the last of the three days. after the movie i stopped at the nearby target store and bought two CDs. this was lady gaga's 'harlequin', and eminem's 'death of slim shady'. in the morning i did laundry. i didn't do all that much after getting home from the movie. i watched some of the pro football games, eagles beat the cowboys. then some of '60 minutes', some stories were about the election, then about the war in ukraine, and a man who is covering the war. then 'the simpsons', although it was a weird one with vignettes about various people, including the lunch lady. then some of sunday night football, lions playing the texans, but i fell asleep near the end. when i was on facebook i saw a posting about an episode of 'mr. belvedere' which had baseball hall of famers in it. i knew this show as the one bob uecker was on but hadn't seen that episode. i found it on youtube so i got a good idea of what the episode was about. during my walks i found 37 cents.
