cpostropheEarlier this summer, I was sitting in with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rojagato in a half crowded theatre to see the debut of the MFA's kung-fu retrospective, Heroic Grace. One of the selling points for opening night was the live DJ soundtrack for the silent films Red Knight-Errant and Swordswoman of Huangjing. Hunger got the better of us after the first film, and as we bailed and walked down Huntington looking for dinner, I turned to her and said, "goddammit, I could've done a better job of soundtracking that film. Did the DJ even watch it before his set?"
and as I started to nitpick the details,rojagato just said to me, "you know, you guys should do your own silent movie thing."
So tonight is the culmination of that idea, and the test to see whether or not I'm going to eat my words.

Date: 2003-12-29 09:17 pm (UTC)I know it probably wasn't meant to be when they filmed it but I always find the over-dramatic acting in silent films hilarious.
