Movie trailer

If you happen to be in the Silver Spring area any time soon, buy a ticket at the AFI Silver theater for Vera Drake or whatever plays next in Theater 1. Why? Two reasons.

1. The AFI Silver's Theater 1 is a beautifully and meticulously restored Art Deco theater. Even if you don't care what's playing (and I do recommend Vera Drake), it's worth the $8.50 just to sit in that great big room and look around you for ten minutes.

2. The trailer for Jean-Luc Godard's Masculin, féminin. Lots of scenes of 1960's Paris, lots of loud, energetic pop music. Lots of black and white. Then the text:

A movie about
Paris
Sex
and the Pepsi Generation.

Masculine
Feminine

"Pepsi" and "the Pepsi Generation" are registered trademarks of PepsiCo.

"Paris" and "Sex" are still in the public domain.
