Last night, Joe, his brother Isaac, and I went to see some improv. Finally! Our first in Chicago. We went to the Playground Theater for Cinema 2.0, basically a feature-length film dub game. They played a movie with the sound off, and the cast and band improvised the soundtrack. Much hilarity ensued.
The movie was Top of the Food Chain, AKA Invasion, a 1999 sci fi spoof from Canada. At least, some IMDB users claim it was a pretty good spoof, but to us it looked like it would have been an absolutely horrible movie with the real soundtrack. As it was, they re-did the plot to make it about "math invaders," so there were lots of attempts to involve math, e.g., "Firearms... plus idiot... equals danger!" And the whole thing was, in general, laugh-out-loud funny.
Anyway, it was a great time, and hopefully any Chicago focus out there will consider going because they're doing it again next week with Cool as Ice, the Vanilla Ice movie! We'd consider going again, except, well, we've got more important things to do.
