It's showing through Christmas Day at the big beautiful AFI Silver Deco Theatre in our neighborhood. A few years ago, we saw it on the big screen for the first time & there's so much detail we'd missed on television. The theatre was packed with people of all ages & there was a wonderful spirit in the air. This year, it's more appropriate than ever. If you're in the Washington, DC-area, try to see it there; you can buy tickets online without a fee. (If you miss it, it's an annual AFI tradition so you can plan for next year.) If money is an issue this year (sadly, it is for far too many), IAWL is on American network television on Christmas Eve (tomorrow night). xoxo, bisou, ciao-merry-meow

PS: It's possible to care about Zimbabwe, Congo, Darfur, Somalia, & other troubled places & their people & still see movies & carry on with life. In fact, it may be essential. Just in case anyone was wondering about the rather odd mix of items. That's just the way it is.
