Cillian Murphy 400x640  by FeuilleDeCarotte

Tuesday night as we headed home from work, we saw signs for the [tag]Tribeca Drive In[/tag], a free outdoor movie showing that is part of the [tag]Tribeca Film Festival[/tag]. They had set up a large screen overlooking the [tag]Rockefeller Center[/tag] Rink, and the seats were set up along the plaza. There were cars in the middle (Dodge Chargers), but nobody could sit in them. The movie was "[tag]Watching the Detectives[/tag]", starring [tag]Cillian Murphy[/tag] and [tag]Lucy Liu[/tag]. We had actually wanted to catch this at the Film Festival, but missed it. This time, we plunked ourselves down to catch the show. As show time approached, we managed to move down to get really good seats towards the front. In the picture you can see the host of the evening, SNL's [tag]Rachel Dratch[/tag]. She made a few funny jokes about the irony of bringing indie to Rockefeller Center and midtown Manhattan. The movie was pretty funny. But we didn't get to hear the ending, because 10 minutes from the end of the movie the sky opened up and it started to pour. A few smart souls had brought umbrellas, so they stayed in their seats. But we ran for cover, getting into the elevator bays for Rockefeller Center. From there we could see the movie, but couldn't hear it. Thankfully, we had already gotten past the part of the climax where they explain the movie, so we didn't miss much (just the obvious made-for-audience wrap-up). Fun night, though.
