Here is the scene at Virgilios which The Mrs said was packed during the Block Party. I love the way the street looks with the lights from the storefronts glowing.

The Bean had an absolute blast at the Block Party. Her favorite part was dancing to the belly dance instructions.

THE SHOP AROUND THE CORNER
|
SHOWN AT 7:15PM
Set in and around a Budapest store, Ernst Lubitsch’s 1940 classic “The Shop Around The Corner” features co-workers Klara (Margaret Sullavan) and Alfred (James Stewart) harboring an intense dislike for each other while maintaining a secret letter-writing relationship, neither realizing whom each other’s pen pal is. They fall in love via their correspondence, while being antipathic and peevish towards one another in real life. A major subplot concerns the apparent infidelity of the store owner’s wife, and its spillover effect upon the various working relationships in the shop. The film was remade as “You’ve Got Mail” with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan in 1998, and was ranked #28 on the American Film Institute’s “100 Years…100 Passions” list.
Join Variety film critic Daniel M. Kimmel as he presents the film and talks about and signs his new book, “I’ll Have What She’s Having,” which goes behind-the-scenes of Hollywood’s greatest romantic comedies.

NOISE

SHOWN AT 5:00PM
This is a story about the wrong person in the right place at the wrong time. Two heinous crimes have left a suburban town reeling. Police quickly connect them but are desperate for witnesses as the local community enfolds itself in a shroud of secrecy, borne from fear and an untrammeled mistrust of authority. A young police constable, Graham McGahan, suffers from a chronic hearing problem and applies for worker’s compensation. To his chagrin, he is stationed at a police caravan near the crime scene. Living on the periphery of the investigation, McGahan crosses paths with the various people affected by the tragedies and uncovers an unraveling nightmare of guilt and suspicion.
This free show is part of our Thursday FilmMovement series, which in November becomes
“It’s clear from the first few minutes of Matthew Saville’s “Noise” that this highly compelling first feature has no intention of being your average, run-of-the-mill thriller…[Noise] kicks off with a wallop, then constantly confounds expectations by approaching its subject matter from fresh directions.”

TRANSSIBERIAN
|
SHOWN AT 7:15PM
Roy (Woody Harrelson) and Jessie (Emily Mortimer) are the perfect American couple traveling from Beijing to Moscow on the legendary Trans-Siberian Express train. The two strike a bond with another couple, Carlos (Eduardo Noriega) and Abby (Kate Mara), who are not exactly as they appear. Unwittingly, Roy and Jessie are caught in a web of drug trafficking and murderous deceit when all four become targets of ex-KGB detective Grinko’s (Ben Kingsley) investigation.
“‘Transsiberian’ starts in neutral, taking the time to introduce its characters, and then goes from second into high like greased lightning. I was a little surprised to notice how thoroughly it wound me up. This is a good one.” -Roger Ebert, The Chicago Sun-Times
Who knew Mark McDonough, the restaurant magnate behind such restaurants as Latitude 43, Calas, and Alchemy had such moves? -Thanks to David Cox for the Block Party photos.

OK, here’s the story behind this picture.
Susie Byrd has been fishing out of Gloucester for 3 years now. She has been one of the most consistent backmen on our lobsterboats and has been doing a great job of showing up on time and pushing her skipper Johnny “Doc” Herrick to fish harder.
Yesterday she had a little setback.
She was a no show for the first time. Eventually she got down to the boat and they got the day in fishing but there was no way I was going to let her off easy.
This morning in the office with all the boys I gave her an option. She could hold up the sign saying “Susie Byrd Strike Count 1” and let me take the picture or I would ride her about being a no show after I’ve been singer her praises to anyone who would listen about how great she has been as far as reliability and work ethic.
She chose to pose for the picture.

Rob brought me a whale carving and mounted it on a nice piece of wood for my desk.
Originally the haddock nape looks like the piece in the middle. Rob’s grandfather would bury the haddock napes in the ground to let the bugs and worms eat all the meat off of the bones. Then it would get whittled down to a blank from the pattern on the bottom piece. Next you have the finished product on top.

SIR! NO SIR!

SHOWN AT 7:15
David Zeiger’s documentary energetically reveals the untold story of the GI movement to end the war in Vietnam. This is the story of one of the most vibrant and widespread upheavals of the 1960’s – one that had a profound impact on American society, yet has been virtually obliterated from the collective memory of that time. This hidden history combines fast-paced archival footage with thoughtful interviews, which Variety calls “perfectly timed with new doubts about the Iraq war.”
Holy Cross professor Jerry Lembcke, who is featured in the film,
will be on hand for a Q&A after the film.
“As it is, this one is compelling enough, a potent mix of outrage, residual anger, and sorrow that speaks not just to the legacy of our misadventures in Vietnam, but to the entire uncertain future of a nation at war.” -Bill Gallo, The Village Voice
