Future RED owners in Wash DC Metro area?

[Joe Carney]

That sucks about Godfather. Stalker plays Sept 15 at the National Gallery (nga.gov). Any Tarkovsky fans?

Now your talking, plus there is easy metro access (Smithsonian) and no charge for tickets AFAIK.
Plus there are a couple of pretty good restaurants and a book store in the museums and underground between the National Gallery and the Modern Art.


Barring something coming up, count me in.... Good recovery adaml.:)

For most people coming in, this might actually be easier.
Pick a convenient metro stop anywhere outside DC and ride in. On weekends, most metro stops do not charge for parking. Check the metros web site for the stops farthest out (end of line). Getting on those will increase your chances of getting a seat. Weekends tend to be very busy.

ahh...crap. Better go get a re-fund for my Godfather ticket.

I can make the 15th. Is Stalker playing in Russian with subs, or dubbed? I can't stand dubbed films.

[Curran Giddens]

oh yea...is anyone here going with the raw port????

I'm getting the RAW port option. I'm in the lower left corner of MA near the NY and CT border.

EDIT: I found a poll from awhile ago. There won't be very many getting the RAW port according to the poll.

Stalker
September 15 at 2:30 p.m.
Andrei Tarkovsky's allegorical excursion through a ravaged post-apocalyptic landscape ("the Zone") is led by a Stalker (Aleksandr Kaidanovsky) who guides two others—the Writer (Anatoli Solonitsyn) and the Professor (Nikolai Grinko)—in their nearly hallucinatory quest to find an elusive wish-fulfilling place called "the Room." (Andrei Tarkovsky, 1979, 35mm, Russian with subtitles, 163 mins.)

At that length, we should meet and eat before viewing.

So the 15th is coming up, Any suggestions on where to meet for lunch?

[Joe Carney]

There is a buffet in the National Gallery, and a restaurant with multiple options in the underground walkway between the National Gallery and Modern Art (where the film is showing I think). Neither are cheap. The only other place close would be the restaurants in the Natural History, but they aren't as good. Of course we could buy hot dogs from the street vendors. hehehe.

If we do the buffet, we need to allow plenty of time since there is usually a line. The Restaurant in the underground walkway has several options, from cooked to order, to fast food, to a salad bar.

Unfortunately i'm looking at another three day weekend at the studio (meaning we have shoots friday saturday and sunday), so i'll be booked like a librarian this weekend.

Hey Guys,
I'm also in DC right now. The DC shorts festival is also playing at the E-street cinema this weekend. Where and when do you plan to meet?

We haven't decided what time before the movie to meet.
