dominion movie

 in the late afternoon i saw the movie 'dominion' at the trylon micro-cinema in south minneapolis. it was just the second time seeing a movie there, the other being a marx brothers movie, 'animal crackers'. this documentary was nothing like the marx brothers. i decided to pay attention to the warnings, and watched some of it on youtube. i noticed that even though it was free admission to this screening, i was one of just ten there. the small crowd is proof of how this movie is not for the faint of heart. name recognition on the narrators, and seeing many documentaries before, helped with deciding to see it. because i had heard of joaquin phoenix, rooney mara, and sia. the last of the three was likely part of it due to the movie mostly being filmed in australia. it profiles various animals in it, and of course the meat of some animals is popular to eat in some countries but not all. sia was narrator for the segments about dogs, as well as seals and dolphins. of course the theme was to expose what the movie makers see as animal cruelty that goes beyond just these animals as meat- also as clothing, and entertainment. so it does depict horse racing, dog racing, rodeos, the zoo, and the circus. it is probably a good thing that i saw this movie as an adult and not as a kid. 

there was other things i did throughout the day. in the morning i got some things ordered, such as two charlie brown books on amazon. along with a st. paul saints game ticket, and signing up for a benefit walk. then it was time to get to the post office, nothing to pick up from the box. next stop was to the copy store, to print 5 things. this was the show announcement of the show i performed at this week, the game ticket, the walk registration, the reservation for the movie i saw, and a festival announcement. three of the five are next weekend. after doing lunch at home, i went to get groceries at aldi. moved it up in order to get to the movie. i did lay down for a little while after being at the grocery store. after the movie i caught some of the twins game vs. cleveland on the radio, knowing it would be the baseball game on fox when i got home. twins lost 6-4,  comeback fell short. all 4 of their runs were scored in the 9th. later on i went on a walk and found 19 cents.
