Two Boots Pioneer Theatre
"I have been to indie movies but this is the MOST indie I have been to !" - Thats what my friend said.
We had had a long day at work and she wanted to go home but I was in the mood for a film. So up came Google and we were frantically searching through movie listings all over Manhattan to find a good one. She suggested Science of Sleep - I was not in the mood for it - so we went to watch - Ever Since the World Ended - filmed on a hand held camera with no particular ending or beginning the movie doubles up on itself and comes back to the beginning showing an audience watching the same movie from the very same beginning, I forget the theatrical term for it - play within the play - there is one in Hamlet if I remember - it sometimes helps put the audience in their place sometimes it is just for the characters within the play to be and sometimes it is just to show the irony of the situation - but I drift. Anyway the first priority was reaching there in time - we cabbed it - the next priority was finding the thing itself - we could see this one neon sign saying Two Boots but no matter how much we looked around the place we could not find the place then we stopped in front of a rundown video shack and found this small notice saying - IF you are looking for the Two Boots Pioneer Theater please go round the corner and you should be able to find it - so we went round the corner and what we would have probably given up as a small coffee house turned out to be the theater. We bought the tickets walked into the theater - it would hardly fit a 100 people I think and the film began with no introductions or titles. All in all it started well - it kept me interested for quite sometime but then it just went slack for me - it did not quite end where I thought the movie had a definite end to it, the director continued the movie to give the finishing touch to his movie by making it a big circle and ending where it began, Maybe I should not compare the movie to usual pot boilers and the way it ended kind of brought out other meanings but the movie had still ended for me long before. Anyway over all there were some very ironically funny characters which I loved - but the movie was not anything that great - the whole experience was fun though - we later went to a Mexican pizza parlor which had only a semblance of heating - so everyone was in full outer gear and eating pizzas. it was a fun night out! Though I have a feeling I could not describe the whole experience in words here.
