River Flicks!

I think it might be every Wednesday and every Friday during the summer there are free filmings on the Hudson River - they show films for adults (not naughty ones!) on Wednesdays and films for children on Fridays. They've shown things like Iron Man, The Dark Knight, Ghostbusters and lots more and I've been wanting to go for ages... and yesterday after work I took myself to go and see
THE MUPPET MOVIE!!!


It was great - there were lots of young families, lots of very cute little children and babies all ready to see Kermit and friends. Everyone was sitting down on the grass on their blankets, enjoying the free popcorn and the sunset over the river.

There was such a lovely atmosphere, everybody clapped when the film came on, everyone clapped at the end of each song, everyone clapped when the baddy got their comeupence and booed when Kermit and Miss Piggy got captured... they cheered when Steve Martin was on screen, the wowed when Orson Wells was on screen and laughed out loud at all the jokes - it was great.

It's such a lovey idea, I'm going to try and get along to the last few that they're showing - I think they might be showing Sex & The City soon - Abi, if you hurry you might catch it!
