Thanks to those of you who have helped out with the air conditioner so far. I’m on my second cold shower of the evening and I’ve only been home for an hour, so I appreciate it more than you know. I’m getting closer to having enough to end this suffering, but if you haven’t donated yet and would like to, by all means - my eternally damp towels will thank you for it. My shiny new air conditioner has been ordered! In a couple days I’ll be basking in its Arctic chill, hooray!

Last night I caught Reloaded once more, with the luminous Crispy (who is equally lacking in climate control) - this time at the IMAX theater near Lincoln Center. It’s probably the last time I’ll see it in theaters, but it was definitely worth it - this movie was made for a large format screen. It’s an incredibly visceral experience, since the images take up your entire field of vision, and there are no heads blocking your view of anything. I’m not usually susceptible to motion sensations in that kind of setting, but I was definitely holding onto my chair for dear life every time Trinity fell out of that god damned building. The effects were, surprisingly, significantly better this time around - I would have thought that being able to see every pore on Keanu’s face would have left the rendered stuff looking more fake, but that wasn’t the case at all. Definitely worth seeing if you aren’t already sick to death of the movie, and definitely the venue I’ll head to first when Revolutions comes out this fall.
