3. The Curse of the Jade Scorpion

Sat Jan 27, 2018, 08:11 PM

Jan 2018

On 9-11 the owner of the local independent theater here in Palm Springs chose to keep his business open all day, telling his employees, "People are going to need somewhere to go..."

I went to an afternoon showing, and there were about 30 of us taking a break from the never-ending coverage of the tragedy.

That's the reason it's my favorite Woody Allen movie.
