Today’s Secret: Cinema Revolution hosts its monthly Cinema des Artistes film event tonight, when they’ll be showing L’Intrus, a 2004 film-of-few-words by French filmmaker Claire Denis. This should be a pretty hip-n-happening scene at the Varsity Theatre. But I guess I, in particular, will never know ’cause I won’t be there. Can we lean on Schilling for this one?
It can be pretty tiring to come up with all these “secrets” when you don’t particularly feel like going out. This isn’t my usual state-of-affairs… What’s wrong with me lately? My idea of fun these days: biking the thirty miles to my kid-cousin’s grad party, which I’m toying with for the weekend, or shopping the designer racks at Fashion Avenue, in Edina. Last I was there I spotted a super-sexy, size six Marc Jacobs priced under two hundred–which would’ve made for a really good secret, come to think of it, especially since it didn’t fit and I had to leave it behind.
What to do when you don’t want to do anything? Surf endlessly for new music on Pandora? Gorge in the quiet corners of some Restaurant Week eateries? Continue to list every gallery event in the greater metro, which can be perused at-will over the lunch hours, leaving the evenings free for watching the news? Dump the boy-who’s-a-friend, who’s pretty open-minded as red-blooded American males go, but still, at his core, prefers spending his Sunday nights on the sofa with a six-pack of three-two over, say, a production of Riverdance? Or is this just cyclical “down time” that is to be embraced? Suggestions are greatly appreciated.
