Damn that Karina

I saw Godard's Pierrot le fou at BAM last night. Love it. Loved the treat of watching a Godard film on the big screen, of watching Anna Karina perfect figure waltz across the screen and wishing I were her, of witnessing the perfect combination of irreverence, intrigue, intelligence, and adventure.

Movies are funnier when seen in the theater. Laughter is contagious, and sometimes a lazy mind doesn't bother to find the humor in something unless reminded to by the laughter of others. I doubt I would have laughed so much had I watched Pierrot le fou at home. There would have been less laughter and more jealousy at the sight of Karina's long long legs.
