I’ve been looking forward to Tony Gilroy’s followup to his incredible Michael Clayton ever since I hot wind of it. Apparently, I’m not alone. The 6:30 show I tried to go to was sold out, as is this 7:35 show. It’s packed and there was a line when I got here at 6:50. I’m going into this blind ( haven’t read any reviews) so I’m really excited. Congrats Tony Gilroy. Now let’s just hope I like this one, I’ll let you know tomorrow.
Maybe your problem was trying to go to Times Square? I went Friday after work to the 2nd Ave theater and it wasn’t sold out, probably 3/4 full.
BTW, if you haven’t read D.T. Max’s article on Gilroy in the New Yorker a few weeks ago, you really should. It’s really great. All of the discussion of his editing sessions with his brother reminded me of that Q&A discussion we saw.
