Back from a satisfying, if hot, morning at the movies. The A/C at the Lafayette apparently doesn't handle heat waves well in that cavernous auditorium, and gave up the ghost yesterday -- so they're waiting on a couple of parts. But it was bearable. For the audience. The projection booth was a sauna for poor Peter, but he gave it his all, as always, and gave us a fine show. THE STRANGER was fantastic. It's been maybe ten years or more since I'd seen it. What a great movie.
