A few months back, I walked down College St. to the Carlton, the local cheap theatre. Every week, the Carlton cycles in a new crop of rep titles. Tickets: $5. I was heading there to do a double-feature. The Constant Gardener followed by Green Room. You might remember The Constant Gardener, you might not. It’s the movie that got Rachel Weisz her Best Supporting Actress Oscar, adapted from a 2001 John le Carré novel, with Ralph Fiennes in the lead. It’s a decent movie. Extremely Bush Era.

One day, people will talk about Dakota Johnson the way they now talk about Kristen Stewart. I’m convinced of this.

Send an email to your boss. Let them know you’ve got some appointment, or maybe you’ve got to meet up with a contractor for a quote on your kitchen. It doesn’t really matter what excuse you give, just something that can get you out of work for a few hours. But instead of an appointment, or a meeting with a contractor, you’ll take a trip to a nearby movie theatre. Pick a movie, it doesn’t really matter which one, maybe something that looks more entertaining than weighty. Get yourself a matinée ticket.
