And now for something completely different…

One of my favorite spots in L.A. is the New Beverly Cinema, a hole-in-the-wall establishment that’s also one of the oldest revival houses in town. They’ve been showing double features—good, original, interesting double features—since 1978. Quentin Tarantino hosted his Grindhouse Film Festival there last year.

Anyway, I went to see a double feature a few nights ago with a couple of pals, and decided to take a camera along for the ride. What follows is an abbreviated document of the evening, which I hope you’ll find amusing. (Apologies for the low video quality; I'll be working with the ConversantLife people to get a better compression rate.)

What I’d really like to have is your feedback—is there anything you particularly enjoyed about the video? Anything that struck you as annoying or confusing? The whole evening was a lark, nothing more than a bit of fun, but I’d like to perhaps go deeper with the idea, maybe try something a little more analytical and exploratory. Any ideas you have for improving this concept would be appreciated!

(Special thanks to Ryan, Clint, and Rachelle for letting me post this, and to Ryan for operating camera.)
