We ended up deciding to go see Matrix Revolutions and forgot until just now that the total lunar eclipse will peak a little after 8pm while we're in the middle of the movie. There's a thin veil of high clouds, but otherwise, the view is pretty good.

Here in this photo, I use the reflected silhouette of my head to frame the bluish dot of the Moon as seen from the lobby of the theater. You might be able to tell that the Moon is about 40% in shadow.

OK, the previews are over and we are entering The Matrix...
