Every Picture Tells a Story: 5/5/11

I've taken to taking photos of theaters whenever I visit them, especially if it's an older movie house like the Music Box. Here's of shot of the marquee from the day I saw Stake Land with Josep and his finacee Jen. These vampires aren't pretty and don't sparkle in the sunlight--they're ugly and they burn, just like proper vampires should. And though Stake Land has funny moments, it's hardly a comedy. Quite the contrary--it's a somber, contemplative vampire/zombie movie with enough blood to sate the gorehounds and enough social commentary to engage the intellectuals.

Oh...and seeing it in the big room at a classic old theater? Awesome sauce.
