$300 million dollars. 3D FX. The last biggest film of 2009.
My good friend Andy Pollack offered to take me to see AVATAR at a 3D theater. Night #1.
I thought about it, because I used to be a movie addict.
1st show. 1st day. Biggest theater.
The Ultimate.
APOCALYPSE NOW at the Ziegfield in 1979.
1,131 seats filled to capacity. The lights go dark. A flutter of noise behind us. The audience shivers in anticipation. Helicopters pass overhead and then the first bars of THE END by the Doors. Throughout the theater matches flare to light joints. We are there. All of us. 1970. Vietnam.
The cost $31 million.
A snow storm detoured my date for AVATAR. I watched the film on my computer. Free.
Nothing will ever challenged APOCALYPSE NOW.
Unless it's porno in 3D Sensaround.
