People from Atlanta like ATL

Last night I watched ATL with codename Erin, my cousin the revolutionary, and a few other friends from my cousin's high school in Atlanta.

I liked this movie, but people from Atlanta LOVED this movie. They were elated coming out of the theater, and conversation quickly turned to the film industry and their usual way of doing things.

All of which shows (again) people like seeing movies they can relate to. A good half of these kids were in New York because of the movie business, and seeing a film about people like them set where they're from and doing things they could have heard about growing up really made these people want to make a movie.

With a summer of bullshit on the horizon, that doesn't seem like such a bad thing.
