Annual Valentine’s Day tradition of visiting The Bugs Bunny Film Festival with @dgquovadimus.bsky.social came a little late this year, but was well worth the wait! @brattletheatre.bsky.social Thanks for a great excuse to duck out of work for “lunch”! A ‘Gansett tall boy and popcorn counts, right?

Y’know when the characters in a movie go to see a movie and it feels really meta? Well, with an “Ultimate Double Feature,” we play the first movie up until the point when they enter a cinema to watch a different film… then we play that film… then we go back to the first film to finish that story.
