Went to see Psycho last night at the Bryant Park Summer Film Festival.
Since the event is sponsored by HBO and Citi, they played a forgettable Citi commercial before the movie. Then this came on the screen:
People actually stood up and danced to this old HBO opening. And I couldn't help cheering along with the crowd.
My God, it's full of stars!
