A Prairie Home Companion

I've never listened, but I'm inclined to see the film simply for the general fame of the subject matter, and the deserved reputation of the revered director and the fine cast.

Alas, with so many films crowding the summer calendar, and so little free movie time due to so many social events crowding the summer calendar* ... this will probably be a netflix flick.

* Ah the irony of not being able to see first-run movies because a good 30% of the social events crowding the summer calendar involve watching really old movies outdoors in a cemetery.

I'll definitely be listening! It took me a while to appreciate PHC, but now I am a fan. Because it's so horribly hot and humid when they play here (at Wolf Trap) I've avoided going to a live show.

I'm also quite fond of Virginia Madsen, she's marvelously talented and has been under utilized for years. At least in big commercial films, which is probably a good thing.
