it was rather cool - too bad I did not have a good camera to snap it!

Same here.

We were watching a movie (Elephant) and kept pausing it every 20 minutes or so to go out and watch it.

It did turn kinda ruddy when fully eclipsed. For those who don't know, the reddish tinge durring a lunar eclipse is caused by the light passing through the sunrise/sunset on the sides of the earth (when the weather is clear in those locations).

If the moon doesn't turn red, that means it's overcast on the sides of the earth.
