I am not the biggest film fan you will ever see, but I do watch a desent amount of films. I assume I am not far off from most people around here, as far as that goes.<br/><br/>I would say, personally, the reason why I have not made it up there yet is because I haven't really been moved to the point of going based on what I already knew of the film. <br/><br/>I could be wrong about this, so please correct me if I am. But I have noticed that few movies have an easy link to a trailer or multiple visuals from the film. I would consider myself a visual person; so, if I was able to see a snipet of film or some stills, maybe that would interest me to the point of getting up off my ass on a Wednesday night to go see it. The word descriptions for each movie, I am afraid, just don't cut it for me personally, unless I am already familiar with the film.<br/><br/>I want to be clear. I AM NOT TRYING TO BASH MOCA OR MOCA IN THE MIDDLE IN ANYWAY. I am only trying to add to the mix my personal view on this. I DO THINK that MOCA is doing a good job trying to advertise for these such events AND I am pleased that they are attempting said public events so frequently. Kudos for that!

We are thinking about another night. I like Friday as well. And it isn't JUST a kid thing although I do understand.<br/><br/>George has been travelling quite a bit recently and I have been very busy with varied projects so I haven't had time to fully educate myself on the flat file idea and I do want to understand it well so I can speak to him in an intelligent way. I did talk to one of the other director's here to see what he thought. He, too, felt that it was more or a gallery thing. BUT I will look into it more and bring it to George. On another note, a few of us have been talking amongst ourselves and may have come up with an alternate plan. Of course, as always, things will have to be run by the powers that be.<br/><br/>Madeleine… thank you for your commnets as well… jaxCAL thank you for your comments.

It's a great break in the week, because along comes Friday and I'm either too pooped to go out, or I don't want to hang out in a dark theatre. So that's my take (then again, I don't have kids...). <br/><br/>But, I love that the museum is open longer hours at least once a week. It makes it much easier to access.

It might be a good idea to try and do it on a Friday or something for regular working folks?<br/><br/>I have a hard time doing anything on a weekday night. I'm an old hag though and we have a little girl to raise. <br/><br/>Did you happen to run the flat file concept by George? Wednesday night sounds fine to me to coincide with the free night.

I have a hard time doing anything on a weekday night. I’m an old hag though and we have a little girl to raise.
