Okay, this is killing me.
As of now, I have $100 to my name, give or take. I just got a weekly job with a promotional company and my first gig is tomorrow. They'll pay me for that in a week, or maybe after that. Whatever the case, I live alone and I need to support myself, so I will definitely be looking forward to that. In the meantime, groceries and Metrocards.
If this were any other weekend, I'd be using a small chunk of that money to go see "The Departed" but there are two other, crazy, can't miss options I can pursue instead.
As reported on Creature-Corner, the IFC Center and Fangoria are teaming up to do a double feature of "Friday the 13th" and "A Nightmare On Elm Street" for free. As a big horror fan, this seems like a must...
But at the NY Film Festival, they are showing "El Topo", which I don't think has officially screened in America since the 70's. Alejandro Jodorowsky might be there- he's my favorite director of all time. Now, on Saturday, they are showing one of his other films, "The Holy Mountain", and I'm not sure if he'll be there for that. But "El Topo" is just a whole other level of awesome.
So I can either go to a free double feature of two horror classics-
OR
I can go to Lincoln Center and hope they have available tickets (they're sold out- that's a tentative thing with the festival), willing to pay the $16 out of my meager savings for the week for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
What to do?
