There's an app for the summer festival, and I downloaded it, but here.

In my semi-old-fashioned way I give you this picture of the list of movies playing outside there this summer.

I rarely get to any of them.  Last year none, I think.  Too bad you can't take your dog.  Lula might like Big, I'm thinking.  Except for the fortune telling machine fortune teller, and maybe the giant piano.  Neither she nor I have seen The Iron Giant; wonder if that's any good.  I'd certainly not mind seeing Moonrise Kingdom again.  Or Skyfall or The Hunger Games, which I missed both of.

Lula would not like Grease.  I feel pretty certain about that.  Lula would be like, "Whatever."

Lula isn't sure about Sixteen Candles.  I can't remember whether I saw it or just think I saw it or might as well have seen it, having seen at least a couple of those.  On the right night, though, and in the right mood, it'd be just fine outside.

It seems wrong for Rocky Horror to play out-of-doors.  Rocky Horror is for dank, dark, musty interiors (and questionable folk with over-the-top dorkball enthusiasm).

I recommend all three movies you haven't seen. The Iron Giant doesn't have the greatest animation but has a great story with heart. Skyfall for pure action and Daniel Craig and Judy Dench. Not the greatest Bond ever but worthwhile. Hunger Games because of Jennifer Lawrence mainly but I always enjoy a take on the near future that isn't sci-fi.

I've never understood the Rocky Horror cultism. I enjoyed the movie ok, but the whole Thing that's risen up around it just makes me go "Er, no."

Iron Giant! That damned movie makes me cry. It is a good flick. I don't get to many movies either, mostly because I'm old and my kid can't really be up that late. This year I might make an exception, now that he's PRACTICALLY IN HIGH SCHOOL but I am not sure his idea of a good time is hanging out on a blanket with his mom.

Sometimes the Summer Festival, for me, fulfills the role of a thing I feel good about even if I don't do. I remember reading something similar about Borders, once. That they had a big poetry section not because that many people buy poetry but because people expected Store #1, blocks from campus, to be the kind of store where one COULD buy poetry books.

I felt that way about Borders and the poetry books. Sometimes I actually did buy one.

I like a business model that takes into account not just the bottom line but community/atmospheric aesthetics as well.
