First Movie Night of 2010

Since the initial movie night that was planned to kick off the Fourth Season of the Roediger Theatre got rained out, the inaugural screening of this summer ended up being a delightfully small affair for out-of-town weekend guests. A former student of mine, Tim Schwarz, and his girlfriend Andrea Bond, came up to North Carolina from New Orleans for a week of visiting with friends, and they took up residence in the Roediger House for the weekend.

To note the occasion and to give Andrea the full treatment on her first trip here, we schemed to show a movie that we knew she would like: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. It's a fairly dark movie (and by that, I also refer to how most of its scenes are shot), and unfortunately for about the first half of it, the ambulance service behind us was burning extra security lights which washed out what was on the screen.

Nonetheless, it was a fun evening and a good film. Season Four is now officially underway.
