The (very) big and small screens

Went to the IMAX last night on Broadway, across from
The Lincoln Centre, to catch the latest Tom Cruise flick on a eight story high screen with around 1000 people.

The movie was good, but the screen was insane and the audio was enough to drown out any crowd noise.

The stunts were incredible, even if Tom was a bit cheesy. He produced the movie himself- his strange ways and recent failures (and heaps of cash) have put him in the same league as Mel.

Now to the small screen...
There is a trashy but very addictive show called Storage Wars.

Synopsis: storage sheds that are abandoned get auctioned off to a group of collectors and pawn shop owners. They bid, win, and then go through the stuff to see if they got out on top. 3 eps back to back is not enough!

Also on the small screen, Rach thought it was a good idea to try and get in to the Dave Letterman show. A good tip is to go Sunday morning, no queues for the entry interview and to fill in the form.

Emily (from Letterman) called only a few hours later while we were shopping for baby Ralph Lauren at Sak's (for the neph!) to tell us we were successful and that we go in tomorrow for filming.

One final tv curio, during the tv movies here they put 'movie notes' at the bottom of the screen.

Annoying at first, but by the end of Commando you know all about Arnie and his b-grade co-star. You will all want us on your quiz team when we are back if 80/90s movie facts are required.
