I'm leaving for New York early tomorrow morning. Current temperature there is reportedly minus six degrees, with no precipitation. It better snow on Saturday.
So I'll be there for two weeks with pretty much nothing to do but walk around and watch movies. First up, I'll probably catch The Aviator (finally), but that's about as mainstream as I'll go -- there are so many other wonderful cinematic opportunities that I'm going to have to pace myself. I'll be arriving at the tail end of several exciting engagements at the Film Forum (Godard, Wong Kar Wai, film noir series, all coming to an end tomorrow), but that's okay because it looks like the new MoMA has plenty of screenings to offer. Not to mention actually visiting the MoMA itself, which was closed when I was last there.
Actually, I hope to get some writing done too. Handwriting. It's a daunting notion.
I'll have internet access, so I'll still be updating (so that if I see Jim Jarmusch again and actually talk to him this time, I can brag about it) and checking my e-mail regularly and such (if anyone in Manhattan feels like hanging out, by all means, let me know).
And I have another post or two to make before I leave.
