So, looks like I may be missing Shaft in theaters.

Turns out no morning showings near me and I couldn’t catch it over the weekend because I had to deal with stuff. And, starting Wednesday, the schedule goes kerplooey with the winding down of school*. Ach, well. At least I was able to get in MiB: International.

But that’s irrelevant to the issue at hand, I suppose. This doesn’t look wretched, but I have to wonder whether it can support the weight. More from the movie side of it than from the book side, of course.
