Topic: Senna, the film

Go see it!  The film is every bit as good as the critical acclaim would suggest.

Re: Senna, the film

Yes, do it.  It's getting a ton of mainstream and indie accolades.  I'm seeing it tomorrow here in DC.

Here's someone that was so moved by the docu that she added a little body art....

Re: Senna, the film

I went and watched Conan last night, but Senna's on my list of must-see movies.

Re: Senna, the film

Check the Senna movie facebook page.  There are a bunch more US dates/cities.  Unfortunately they added Columbus OH while I wasn't looking and I missed it!

But it opens in Dayton in a week, which is a do-able day trip, especially with a stop at the USAF museum.  How to persuade SWMBO that this would be a great date night: fighter planes, mexican food, racing movie?

WTF!?!? You mean it was here and we did not see it?

Thats it! I'm hiding SAE pieces into your metric stuff again.

Re: Senna, the film

Yes, we missed it.  I have been checking the "Senna Movie" FB page regularly.  I remember that detroit and ann arbor were about the closest locations.  All of a sudden, Columbus and cleveland are listed in there around the time of the MI dates.  They musta sneaked it in there in the last couple weeks.  And there were probably ten people at Studio 35 to watch it, cause they do such a great job with the publicity.

But I'm not bitter.

And I found the missing 1/2 sokt.  It was in the mag tray between the 13 & 14.

Go see it.  Really.  Best movie I have seen in a very long time.  I went twice in 1 week, and had to do a 3 hour round trip each time.  I would go again tomorrow if I could.  Very interesting to see so much of the man's life, explained by him.

Re: Senna, the film

Went on Sunday.  Definitely a good film.

Only downside is that after the movie, she said "Why did we see a movie about a dead racecar driver the week before your race?"

Umm, because I'm a poor strategist?
