Theotherguys_smallteaser Theamerican_smallposter Autumn has come to Telluride, Festival season has about ended, the days are shorter- a perfect time to head to the Nugget Theatre for an evening's entertainment.

George Clooney is "The American" (rated R), an assassin taking a little time off in a village in Italy. His quiet time is interrupted by people who seem to want to do him in. What's love got to do with it?

"The Other Guys" (rated PG13) hit the streets, mismatched cops thrown together by circumstance. Expect some violence, some comedy from Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg as the inept duo.

Susan and I had flown from Seattle, where we had been visiting Kimm Viebrock (now known as TIO's Chief Geek), to Newark, NJ where our mission was to help her parents get settled into a new apartment in Hackensack.
