basquiat movie

 tonight, after work i went to the trylon cinema and saw 'Basquiat'. this was part of the 'sound unseen' series, which also has a film festival in November. i did see one in the film-fest, at bryant lake bowl in uptown Minneapolis. the trylon is a much better venue for a movie, though. i attended with the retired postal worker, who gave me the idea through a text message. the venue claimed that the screening was 'sold out', but we sat in the front row and there were some empty seats. i was largely unfamiliar with the subject of this biopic, but i did read up about this painter in advance. like some other famous people, died of a heroin overdose, at age 27. the cast had plenty of notables in it, including David Bowie (as Andy Warhol), along with Dennis Hopper, Christopher Walken, Courtney Love, and Parker Posey. when the closing credits start rolling, we hear 'hallelujah', the john cale version. this movie was in black and white, except for a scene after the credits rolled, in color. i recognized this scene from earlier in the movie, it was when he uses a big paint roller. i correctly guessed one scene as announcing when Warhol had died, figuring that based on the time period being covered that this would be mentioned somewhere in the story. my friend suggested seeing another movie in this series sometime soon, and i am up for that. i think this was our first in-person visit since the state fair in august. after i got home from work, i wasn't there for long. i dropped off a few things and had a snack and then i was gone again, wanting to eat at a burger king before making it to the movie. i went home after the movie, knowing i was tired and wanting to do my after-work routine of going through emails and such. at work i was waiting at security for twenty minutes due to access to the check shop being changed when the door was locked. i was escorted into the shop and later on was given a key but needed to give my driver license for it. i got it back when i turned in the key at the end of the day. looks like we will have someone looking at the door the next morning. just under a thousand tax forms went out, besides the checks. vacation replacement was in the shop working some more on updating the written procedures, i was asked to proofread the one about a file that went PDF. during my walks i found 26 cents.
