We were going to go to the Cornerhouse, but they had sold out of what we were going to see, so we went to the Printworks instead and saw The Mothman Prophecies. It was an entertaining film, but a bit of a horror. There was very little strong laguage/violence/sex in it, so it was only a 12. I feel it warranted a higher rating; I don't know any 12 year olds I'd be happy to see a film of that nature. Ended up back at John's house and we reminisced about last BiCon. I'm already getting excited about this year's.
