Back from the movies and dinner with Matthew. We had a great day and a tasty meal at the diner on 44th and 9th Avenue, caught up on all our (mis)adventures, and went separate ways, he to conduct a tour of Radio City, Grand Central Station, and other parts of Manhattan and I to a taxi. As to the movie, it was a real nostalgia blitz of life between 1970 and 1978, and I wept through a lot of it. The cast is really quite wonderful, looking amazingly like their real counterparts, and Sean Penn is absolutely wonderful. As to the huge crowds, I suspect we sat in an audience of fifty people at the most, but the audience was amazingly silent and gave the film a big hand at the end.
