The Laurelhurst Theatre in Portland plays second-run films and usually has an old classic playing for a week at a time, too. The other night as I approached two of the Laurelhurst’s cinemas on opposite sides of the same hallway, I saw these two choices, like signposts at a fork in the road:
IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE
A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE
I felt like I was choosing my destiny! (So is it bad that I chose “A History of Violence”?)
