where are the J.D. and gygax! humanizing factors?

Feel free to feel in the missing fields, estela

Secret Powers: has actually lived in the world capital of cinephilia

me too! I was supposed to be at school but I did nothing but watch movies all day, surely that counts.

ken, i am much too shy and reserved to make declarations about young film gentlemen's humanizing factors and anyway the ones you wrote for the others were funny and nice and far better than anything i would write.

I think we disagreed on Lone Star but he introduced me to The Endless Summer and he likes Chris Marker.

Alright, but only because J. Blanchard refused to post on film topics that weren't on ILF.

Ken, again, I love you. You have my pussy number, but I can't remember having a throwdown with NRQ unless it was over Spielberg recently. (Blount, on the other hand, was my known enemy for a whole afternoon.)

note to jaymc: Please correct the error in the last field so that Ned doesn't have to.

Also, I have to stick up for my good friend here. His taste is in fact very diverse - he's really into samurai stuff too!

Is this the "in time" you were referring to, morbs?

Someone link to the French Film thread where I asked for more about Ophuls and Amateurist drily replies "he was Viennese"!

Adam, next time Jess does a picture thread I want you to go on there and say things like "but that doesn't look like teh JBR!"

Also, one can find things some funny w/out actually making a noise.

I haven't soured on prime Jerry Lewis.

ok, i swear you made such a claim to me in the last 3 years. somewhere.

btw the two Dean & Jerry movies A.E. did figure heavily in Mark Rappaport's recent video essay Becoming Anita Ekberg.

i am all for telling anomalous loudmouths in theaters to pipe down. one time a guy made clear during the opening credits he was planning to give a running commentary "ah, (name of actor), YES.... *claps twice*" and thankfully received a loud, effective "SHUT! THE! FUCK! UP!" before we got to scene one

I'm no better tho. I told a woman crinkling cellophane during Notre Musique that she was ruining the movie for everyone.

even tho i seem to spend most of the time arguing with him about things other than film, frederik b is by some measure the best 'film poster' these days, alongside amateurist and ward fowler

I told some guy who kept oohing and ahhing loudly at the cinematography in "Mr Turner" to (please) keep quiet. His wife gave me the best Midwesterner (cuz no way were they native NY'ers and they had Fargo-ish accents) ice grill ever.

Frederik B's rant about French new extremity yesterday certainly qualifies him for this canon.

He can have my slot since I generally don't watch movies anymore.

Fred B's been exhaustive in the best way.

he sees too much for my taste :)

It's making the rounds: http://blogs.indiewire.com/criticwire/when-you-laugh-at-old-movies-the-joke-is-on-you-20150428

Once heard about a guy giggling at a Tarkovsky film and a woman got up and punched him in the face.

I've heard stories of the child who dared laugh during Blow Job and it turned out it was just a particularly agorophobic Pekingese who mistakenly wandered in after having bought a ticket for Grand Prix.

Aw, thanks guys! Can I put those quotes on my CV, would help a lot...

Sometimes it's really weird when people don't laugh in the theatre as well. I was at Bonello's House of Tolerance yesterday, his film about a bordello in Paris around 1900, and I was seated next to an elderly couple. Well, the film is quite serious and provocative yet empathetic, but it is also kinda funny, the girls tell a lot of really ribald and lewd jokes about their costumers to make it through the day, and the theater chuckled along. Except for that couple beside me. At first they were just quiet. At a joke about fucking someone in the eye-hole, they both sighed pretty angrily. Again with the semen-joke. At this point, I began to felt a bit uncomfortable. But finally, a woman onscreen told a longwinded story, the point of which turned out to be that she was a sword-swallower, and the sixty year old lady beside me couldn't help but giggle ever so guiltily. That was cool. A bit awkward, but cool.

RIP, buddy. WIll miss you.

We’ve been wrong this whole time

Alfred's too much a dilettante in his snobbery.

In this case, apparently as trustworthy as the World Almanac!
