screen on the green

each summer the san diego museum of art puts on a series of outdoor movies that correlates with a current exhibition. i simply love this.

i love balboa park.

i love new old movies. new to me, old in the production sense.

i love being outdoors at night when my apartment closely mirrors a sauna.

i love the candy.

i love people (and dog) watching.

i love the planes going over scarily close while preparing to land.

i love a lot of things about these nights.

we went last friday night. and i didn't have the temple the next morning. score!

here's the large screen.

here is take out from our favorite restaurant, kiki sushi.

a movie wouldn't be complete without a mutual favorite candy.

waiting for the movie to start.

we watched the train. a great b/w movie about how the nazis are trying to steal all of france's paintings as allied troops close in on paris. time is running out for an art-obsessed nazi general and the people (including burt lancaster) trying to stop the train of paintings from leaving the country. has a little bit of everything: war, action, art and classic lines. my favorite?

crazy nazi general to burt lancaster: "a painting means as much to you as a string of pearls to an ape".

i'm on the hunt for outdoor movies in sd. we've got 2 more this month!
