    i saw this yesterday, by myself. i took up three seats in the middle section, it was great.

    the movie was fun. the best line was "You will serve the remainder of your 12-year prison sentence as a full time employee of the government of the United States." or something like that. i laughed my ass off, and thought, i'd probably rather stay in jail.

    i never did get the whole IRS thing w/ his dad though. it must have been a bluff or something, or some kind of code.

    We saw it at a matinee Christmas day, with all the other Jews in Cambridge. I thought it was a lot of fun, and wish there was an oscar for the best credits sequence. I thought the music was great, the story moved quickly, and Leo and Tom Hanks were well suited to their roles.

    I figured that the IRS thing was that his dad was either not paying taxes or underpaying on his business, and just never was able to make it up.

    The only problem we had was at one point the framing got messed up, and the top of the frame got cut off. Since they don't actually keep projectionists in the booths any longer, someone had to go out into the lobby to get someone to fix it. The upside was, we all got passes, so I've got a free movie coming up.

    The crazy thing was, later in the day, we saw Standing in the Shadows of Motown at another theater, and the same damn thing happened with the projector. We didn't bother asking for passes, since that was at the local independant second run house, where it's too easy to sneak into a sccond movie once you're in. In fact, I suspect that the guy who slept through most of Standing in the Shadows had been there since it started snowing earlier in the day.
