When I went to pick up my tickets at Olsson’s Books, the man chuckled after I finished the first Saturday order and said “wow … three films in one day.” I told him I’ve done seven at festivals where the scheduling allows that (FilmFestDC’s scheduling doesn’t really; I think four is the most you could do on any one day, and on most it’s just two)

“The Pope’s Toilet?” Oh man I gotta see that.
When I was younger and active in a band, in reference to my (separate) obsessions with Catholicism and bodily functions, decalred, “For you, the best movie ever would be the Pope taking a dump.”

On top of that, this schedule explains why the Godfather of Soul had to be called in to save Boston- because His Holiness was otherwise engaged.
