Rosemary's Baby at the Plaza

Tuesday we went to see Rosemary's Baby at the Plaza theater.


Before the film began, a black-robed man stood at the front of the theater and shouted "hail Satan!" The audience happily did so.

A man standing next to him held up a baby - probably a real, living baby, though it was hard to tell - by the foot and waved it around. Good times.


There was a countdown...


and then the good times began in earnest.


The audience was surprisingly well-behaved, though it should be said that they tittered like silly-people whenever anything remotely sexual was mentioned.


Free Roman!

There was a photo-op in the lobby before the film. A pregnant woman (who assured me she was actually pregnant) lay on a table with (fake) blood smeared on her belly. She even had Rosemary's "Vidal Sassoon" hairstyle.

The good news: I got to threaten her with a large knife while she screamed for the camera, a scenario we can all admit to fantasizing about from time to time, right? [silence] ... right? L stood at my side looking appropriately horrified.

The scene had more in common with the Tate-LaBianca murders than anything that occurs in Rosemary's Baby, but it was still good clean fun.
