Overheard (What's Your Movie-Going Frequency?)

Two men sitting near me at a Tribeca Film Festival screening with badges... a sign that you're generally seeing lots of films. Nevertheless, they seem to have very different ideas about what constitutes frequent moviegoing.

Guy #1: What was the last movie you saw in a theater?
Guy #2: Oh it was so long ago. [thinks for several beats.]
Guy #1: That long ago?
Guy #2: [suddenly remembering] Up in the Air!
Guy #1: [confused] That wasn't long ago.
Guy #2: Before Christmas! It was... it was good. Travelling as much as I do, it resonated.

I'm with Guy #2. That is way way too long without a trip to the theater. Four months? Yikes.

When were you last in a movie theater? Please don't say "Before Christmas." If you do, say ten Hail Meryls as penance and get thee to the multiplex.
