Another reason I may get to less of the new stuff this weekend …
While the weather outside might turn frightful (I’m getting really sick of that “Isolated Thunderstorm” report, especially during those specific times that I plan to be outside!), tonight at the Prospect Park Bandshell is one of my favorite annual Celebrate Brooklyn programs, namely the screening of an old silent film with live accompaniment, and I’m particularly looking forward to this one: The Phantom of the Opera. No, not that piece of crap which I called one of the worst movies of 2004, although that film could probably benefit from getting rid of the entire soundtrack (singing and dialogue included) and adding a live band playing instrumental music. But no, tonight at the Bandshell, the great Alloy Orchestra comes to town to play along with the classic 1925 film starring silent horror film great Lon Chaney, which I have sadly never actually seen.
