This'll be brief and link-free for now, because at 6:30 the cinetrix must join a great migration across the Vassar campus for a picnic dinner [god help us] and an outdoor screening [slightly cooler]. Both are by a lake [yes, Sunset, jhk], so there exists the very real possibility that the cinetrix will be carried away by mosquitos. What I won't do for cinema.

That last one made me weep. I'll explain why later--if I survive my time among the insects.
