Buff vs Scholar --- Days 13/275-280

 Walks: Hood of course

Distances: 4 miles average

So, Magalopolis, Francis Ford Coppola's long heralded, much gossiped about and just released movie is here.  It is Coppola with an extraordinary cast so attention deserves to be paid, but Ciwt is a movie buff of sorts, not a movie scholar so she is wondering about going. Will you go? Or maybe you've been. 

She has a friend, both a buff and a scholar as well as off-the-charts brilliant, who happened to call and report his experience.  He couldn't exactly praise it, but did admire it.  Even he though admitted to not completely understanding it and noticing that many of his fellow movie audience walked out because it was soooo sloooowww until nearly the end.

At the total far end of the critical spectrum was a local columnist who began his review of Megalopolis this way: This is not a review. This is a warning.  Needless to say, the rest is not positive.

So, here it is Monday and Ciwt has a free afternoon.  If she goes, she will report.  And if she takes a long, slow walk or does hours worth of CIWT-worthy activities instead, she'll let you know about those.

Indian summer Monday greetings in any event.
