Pandora's Box

I’ve been waiting for Louise Brooks’ most famous silent movie "Pandora’s Box" to come out on DVD since DVD technology was invented. On my birthday this week I got two copies of it as birthday presents (I’ll have to exchange one for something else)!

In addition, last night "Pandora’s Box" was also playing at the New Beverly theater and Nicole and I went to see it! As always, it was a brilliant film, but the accompanying music track was crap. It was merry during the miserable moments and during the comic relief it was dirges. But it’s been years since I last had the opportunity to see this movie in a theater and it was especially nice to introduce Nicole to the New Beverly.

Walking to the car afterwards, Nicole said, "Does this movie bring out the weirdoes or do those people always come to this theater?"

"What do you mean?" I said.

"There was the moaning guy somewhere in the back, I could smell the alcohol coming off the guy behind us, and the guy in front of us was sprawled over into the next row."

"I didn’t notice them, baby," I said.

Hopefully one of the four music track options on my new DVD will be a winner.
