Death to Morning Films

No. I do not like waking up super early. Especially to wait in super long lines for a 10:30 film. But, the film I saw was amazing. I saw Captain Fantastic this morning and was very pleased with it. Most of that had to do with the fact that the name of the film wasn't actually said in the film. Every other film that I've seen so far has made it a point to throw their title in the film. So that was refreshing. However, it would have been a fantastic film regardless. After the film I went to go hang out at the Am Pav and grab some lunch, nothing too fancy.

After a while at the AM Pav, me and Patrick went to go see our next film. Since we ended up about 2 hours early, we went to go get some ice-cream. We went back to the Palais and saw Late Shift. This film was extremely interesting because it was an interactive one. We downloaded this app and connected to this "special" wifi. During the movie, options would pop up on the screen and we would slick one of the options. The majority of votes would win and the film would go on with that option. There are about 170 possible choices in the film and 7 possible endings. It was quite an interesting experience. Sometimes if we chose the "not so obvious" choice, everyone in the theater would laugh because we knew that we were being dumb. The film wasn't the most interesting film, but the technology sure made this film worth watching. 

Because the trains hate me, we had to go home at about 6 just because we didn't want to wait 2 more hours. So I went home at 6 because tomorrow is supposed to be a big film day. All the competition films that I missed like Loving, The Dancer and Red Turtle are playing, and I intend to see them all. So I figured I'd get a good nights sleep to prepare not to fall asleep in any theaters.
