If You'd Like to Meet a Moviemaker on Monday

The Brothers Bloom, the second film from Brick writer-director Rian Johnson, opens today -- and, yes, it's a film of which I'm quite fond, more so upon second viewing. Which I mention only to suggest that if you're interested in seeing the movie, perhaps you'll make it to the Magnolia...

The Brothers Bloom, the second film from Brick writer-director Rian Johnson, opens today -- and, yes, it's a film of which I'm quite fond, more so upon second viewing. Which I mention only to suggest that if you're interested in seeing the movie, perhaps you'll make it to the Magnolia Theater on Monday night -- where, so happens, Johnson will show for a Q&A following the 7:10 screening. (Johnson will also intro the screening, as well as the one that follows at 9:45 p.m.) I will be moderating the chat, which should not dissuade you from attending. What you see above are the first seven minutes of the movie -- quite the bonus. Here's the trailer. See you Monday, then?
