"I didn't see the president take any popcorn, which I jokingly called 'political popcorn' because it had just the right amount of salt and butter. It was some of the best popcorn I've ever tasted," recalled director Anthony Hemingway of his January visit to the White House to screen Red Tails with his cast, producers, surviving members of the Tuskegee Airmen, and President Obama. However, "the theater isn't set up that well. The sound could be better. The projector needs to be upgraded." And alas! The wistful conclusion: "I actually ran to the bathroom because I drank too much during the movie, and by the time I got back, the president had left for another engagement." [THR]
