to die for movie

 in the afternoon i went to see another classic movie at the trylon cinema in minneapolis, it was 'to die for', part of the nicole kidman series. i chose this one because gus van sant directed it, who also directed my favorite movie, 'good will hunting'. along with other things, including a music video for the red hot chili peppers. i do like a good 'mock-umentary' or 'satire' so this one worked for me. and i recognized two young actors in it, casey affleck and joaquin phoenix. it was about a lady that relentlessly pursues stardom as a newswoman in new england. i knew it was loosely based on a true story, and i was paying attention to the credits. found out it was based on a book by joyce maynard, who i had met at a special screening for a movie based on another one of her books. this was through my membership with the loft literary center. i noticed she had a small role in the movie, but i am used to a movie adaptation finding a role for the author. due to being interested in the promos, it is likely that i will make more visits soon. two more movies of interest to me are slated to be shown at this venue next month. i bought a small popcorn and a can of 7-up at this screening and still like getting food and drink at this theater as it is decidedly cheaper than at a first-run theater. i did watch some of the pro football games of the day, but only parts of the three games. buffalo, philadelphia, and washington won. i fell asleep for a little while in the evening, and watched some of the third game when i woke up. but i also needed to get the dishes done. during my walks i found 25 cents.
