Inkwell: Authors and Artists

    
Well it looked like that's where they ended up, it's the site of the former
Sutro Baths at Land's End. Wasn't it?
  

    
Gee, I didn't recognize that. Sharp eyes, if it's true.
  

    
Maybe Greg will come back and tell us.
  

    
OK, this is from a press release:

The U.S. distribution of GROOVE is moving ahead at full steam with
openings in 13 cities last weekend and 12 more this Friday.  Director
Greg Harrison will be on hand at the Main Art Theater in Royal Oak,
Michigan, and I will be at Minneapolis' Uptown Theater on opening
night
Friday the 14th.  We encourage those of you in the vicinity to come
down, hang out, see the film and ask questions.  For a complete list
of
cities where GROOVE is opening:

The only reason I know anything about this movie is that a couple of
pieces of my son's (Raleigh Freeman) art and, supposedly his bedroom,
are in it.  Groove opened yesterday in St. Louis and I asked three
friends who have known Raleigh since he was a baby to go with me to see
it.  I had hoped to lead a chorus of *gasp* "That's Raleigh's room!"
but if it was there, I missed it.  However, we did recognize two of his
drawings as they flashed by at the beginning and we waited until the
last credits rolled and there it was!  My baby's name on the big
screen!

At any rate, we all loved the movie. (And our ages range from 53 to
67) And we were all delighted we had the connection because otherwise
we wouldn't have thought to go see it.  We for dinner and all the
people around us could have been cast members and we loved them all
too. 

My introduction to rave was after Raleigh returned from England in
1995--he'd been in Canterbury for a semester and they went up to London
to raves every chance they got.  Until he left home, my house
reverberated with jungle music and all his art reflected his rave
experience.

The movie fit the impressions I'd gotten from him.

Anyhow, Groove has got the little old lady vote.  Maybe Ebert reflects
a guy thing.
