I had my film club today - let me first tell you that I got an email from the clubs director informing me that San Jose was having a gay pride parade and parking would be scarce - so arrive early. I drove down at 11:30 - show time is 2. I got down by noon and well the parade was long over and everything was cleaned up. Downtown seemed almost diserted. Since i'd had a big breakfast with Jack and Megan this morning, I wasn't really in the mood for lunch. I decided to just walk around Down Town San Jose. First I found a drug store and managed to waste alittle time there. Then walking further I found the San Jose Museum of Art. Well still having over an hour and half to kill I decided to wonder on in. I really enjoyed myself. Though I can honestly say i'm not a hugh fan of "modern" art, I did enjoy seeing all the different pieces. And I took my time, figuring I could come back next film club if I didn't see it all, but as it turned out the museum is small and I did.

On To Film Club...

Today's movie was Civic Duty . This film has been at the Tribeca Film Festival, and at Cannes. It is a dark, intense film about paranoia in modern times. Staring Peter Krause and including an excellent supporting cast including Richard Schiff its a hot button film that will have you cringing and still walking away thinking. It's a film that will stick with you. Not sure when it will open as they haven't found a distributor for it yet.

After the film we were lucky enough to enjoy a question and answer session with Peter Krause. He did tell us they still had a bit of editing they wished to do, and he clarified or rather explained the purpose of one aspect of the ending which I found a little cliché before his explanation. It was a rare treat to get to talk with an actor I so dearly enjoy the work of. I suspect he will always be Nate Fisher for me.

I came home to a lovely home made dinner by Jack and a cuddly Megan who is fighting a cold.
All in all, not a bad way to spend a day.
