Went to the post office on 65th Street and Columbus. Bought stamps. Left the post office. Noticed a line of people outside the post office but not for<\/em> the post office. How did I know that? They weren’t facing in the post office’s direction.<\/p>\n

I walked west on 65th Street. Across the street was that line. Just kept going. People. Tons of people, on line for something, probably at the AMC Theatre complex. But what?<\/p>\n

Couldn’t stand the suspense. So crossed the street and asked the first person I saw, “Why are you standing on this line?”<\/p>\n

“An exclusive preview of a movie.”<\/p>\n

“What movie?”<\/p>\n

“‘The Passenger,'” he said. A horror movie. He did not say that the horror part was that this movie was previewing in the metropolitan area ONLY at this theatre. I mean, he said that but did not label it as the horror part. I labeled it as the horror part. Perhaps I should add it’s a sunny day and the temperature is around 90 degrees.<\/p>\n

I knew the line was a lot bigger than one of those theatres would hold. “No,” he said, “it’s screening in multiple theatres.”<\/p>\n

I went home to find out more about “The Passenger.” It was a struggle to find out (lots of movies have been called “The Passenger”) but I succeeded. I will not be going to it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
