BAR 1704 Kyle Ave. South College Station, Tx. 764-2975 10951 Jones Road Houston, Tx. 955-6670 15144 S.W. Freeway Sugarland, Tx. 242-1100 screening. Along the way, I saw my one glimpse of L.A. at night. The verdict: palm trees are attractive, streets should be at right angles (in reference to a four-way stop that looked like a chicken's foot), neon is "in," ev eryone there is beautiful or odd (nothing in between), and you must drive forever to get any where. We arrive at the theater. This was not the Bryan/College Sta tion version of a place to watch movies. The screen was approx imately four times the size of a Schulman and the purple velvet curtain went up, not aside. Now for the name-dropping. I bought my popcorn in the line next to Roger Ebert (and was pleased to see that he got no special treatment) and I sat be side Scott Osbourn from "En tertainment Tonight" (who should not wear a fedora in public). The lights went down and the film began. I had looked for ward to this moment for several days because I wanted to know how the professionals handled this job. Would they take notes or would they ignore the film as a base medium in its literal sense, yet catch the deeper meaning through some method of critical osmosis? Looking around wildly and feeling a bit like Karl Malden, all I could think was, "What will they do?" Now I can answer that burn ing question. They eat popcorn. • The film was good. One tech nical problem, however. About half way through the film, there were some sound glitches or sound absences, you might say. The best: Dr. Chandra gives a speech with no sound and Dr. Floyd answers with sound, "What are you saying?" The au- I wanted to know how the professionals han dled this job ... all I could think was, "What will they do?"- Now I can answer that burning question. They eat popcorn. dience loved it and laughed. The MGM exec types became one with the floor. /After an uneventful bus trip back to the hotel, we were treated to a sumptuous dinner replete with the never-too-ter- ribly-far-away mixed drink. Us university press types viewed this as an opportunity to delve into the deeper meaning of "2010" and analyze it fully. The "2001" devotees were disappointed. "Hyams must be such a sim pleton." The actors were discussed. "Did you think Bob Balaban was simply. ’ imitating Richard Dreyfuss?" "John Lithgow must special ize in nothing roles." "Scheider did a nice job." And others were pleased with the film. "The special effects were just spectacular." (The word spec tacular takes on new meaning when said with a New York ac cent.) I already knew what I thought, so I ate. After the meal, we then de cided to see who could get the wildest drinks from the bar tender, who was experiencing difficulty. "I have no Coke, I have no 7- Up, I have no ginger ale. Look, I punch every button on this thing, nothing comes out. Go away." So we went away. Being 1:00 in the morning (3:00, counting jet lag), we went to bed. I rose the next morning at 7:00 with a tired groan. After showering, dressing and watching "Super Friends," I submerged myself back into the world of "2010." The first event of the day was a buffet breakfast. Then came the event I think most of us found the most exciting: the in terviews. They were held in a round-robin style. Nine inter viewers to a table with the inter viewees switching from table to table every 20 minutes. There were seven interviews. The interview trail was as fol- See "L.A." page 13
