Enjoyed seeing new print of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes on the big screen at FF last night, although did not enjoy waiting to get into the theater while the 3D setup was being tested for today.

At Lincoln Center:

The Sign of Rohmer
August 18 to September 3

The most complete North American retrospective of Rohmer’s work in more than a decade, including all of his feature films and the U.S. premiere of his 1980 TV film Catherine de Heilbronn. Plus special in-person appearances by key Rohmer collaborators.

The Redd, The Blecch & Other Things (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 18 August 2010 13:35 (2 years ago) Permalink

Went to one of these today. Multiple cinemaniacs in the audience and a giant crowd of people outside with tight, tight security and Beatlemania screaming for some kind of Jonas Brothers event.

The Redd, The Blecch & Other Things (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 19 August 2010 01:11 (2 years ago) Permalink

And I just saw Cinemaniac Jack again, walking the streets of Tribeca.

I guess I've never seen Rohmer's Sign of Leo, so I guess I'll go tonight!

You won't regret it. One of the best things I've seen this year.

Also just noticed that Historias extraordinarias is at Latinbeat: http://www.filmlinc.org/wrt/onsale/latinbeat/extraordinarystorieshisto.html . There are way too many good films this month.

C0L1N B..., Wednesday, 8 September 2010 15:22 (2 years ago) Permalink

yeah, I don't think I can do a 4-hr film right after work anymore w/out dinner!

kind of shrill and very self-righteous (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 8 September 2010 15:32 (2 years ago) Permalink

Must...find a way ... to see some of these.

So I won't be seeing you at Star Spangled to Death or Hitler: A Film From Germany? xp

C0L1N B..., Wednesday, 8 September 2010 15:52 (2 years ago) Permalink

I have too much goin' on for those, most likely

kind of shrill and very self-righteous (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 8 September 2010 15:53 (2 years ago) Permalink

I want to see the one about Karl May!

Redd Cadillac & A Blecch Moustache (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 8 September 2010 15:53 (2 years ago) Permalink

i plan on going to the hitler film (with birthday hangover in tow, probably)

marilyn VO5 savant (donna rouge), Wednesday, 8 September 2010 15:55 (2 years ago) Permalink

I remember seeing Sontag at some of those back in the day, when she had short hair growing back after the chemo. She said she loved her some long German films, her favorite being Heimat.

I remember when that film used to be called Our Hitler -- whose idea was that?
So with the dinner break, that'll go from 2 to 10:30?

Morbs (or anyone) did you like Month of August?

/\/K/\/\, Tuesday, 14 September 2010 23:17 (2 years ago) Permalink

I struggled to stay awake; I liked the documentary content more than the rest.

kind of shrill and very self-righteous (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 15 September 2010 02:14 (2 years ago) Permalink

Awww, I loved it

Nano McPhee (admrl), Wednesday, 15 September 2010 02:17 (2 years ago) Permalink

loved it too!

(although i think i need a break from those fiction vs reality/documenrty post modern films.)

Zeno, Wednesday, 15 September 2010 02:57 (2 years ago) Permalink

ya i liked it quite a bit too, although im still kinda of unpacking some of the doc content

/\/K/\/\, Wednesday, 15 September 2010 03:05 (2 years ago) Permalink

kind of shrill and very self-righteous (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 16 September 2010 18:06 (2 years ago) Permalink

Nano McPhee (admrl), Thursday, 16 September 2010 18:09 (2 years ago) Permalink

My Man in Toronto had good things to say about new Mahamat-Saleh Haroun (Daratt) and Aktan Arym Kubat's "Light Thief".

Nano McPhee (admrl), Thursday, 16 September 2010 18:11 (2 years ago) Permalink

The Gomes is one of the best things I've seen all year. Wasn't wild about Face You Deserve or the shorts.

So excited for Historias.

If I wear my Forbidden Planet costume will you recognize me?

kind of shrill and very self-righteous (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 16 September 2010 20:15 (2 years ago) Permalink

Hahah, yeah. But really you should just set aside six and half hours on Saturday, and come to Star Spangled to Death at Un1onD0cs.

C0L1N B..., Thursday, 16 September 2010 21:07 (2 years ago) Permalink

saw My Uncle at Film Forum yesterday. Tonight is the last night, don't sleep, it was the besssssssst

I'm not huge on Jacobs. xp

I never knew there was an alternate Englishcentric cut of Mon Oncle.

kind of shrill and very self-righteous (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 16 September 2010 21:10 (2 years ago) Permalink

Yeah, i never saw the original, but I don't think it's TOO far removed from it, save a couple of overdubs

let's have a toast for the cumlords (Whiney G. Weingarten), Thursday, 16 September 2010 21:13 (2 years ago) Permalink

the print was absolutely gorgeous and lush. You would never guess that movie was 50 years old

let's have a toast for the cumlords (Whiney G. Weingarten), Thursday, 16 September 2010 21:14 (2 years ago) Permalink

Wait, there's really an English version? Weird.

C0L1N B..., Thursday, 16 September 2010 21:15 (2 years ago) Permalink

English-centric. There's still a looot of French in it! Like they added a couple English overdubs and reshot a few scenes for US audiences.

oh, the delightful smell of home-baked molasses bread on my penis (sarahel), Saturday, 25 September 2010 22:10 (2 years ago) Permalink

haha, thanks! can't say i can recommend anything (i have seen, and will only be seeing, one entry in the entire thing) but i'd really like to see the new reichardt and kiarostami features

Come to this program!
http://www.filmlinc.com/nyff/2010/views-from-the-avant-garde-saturday-october-2/views-from-the-avant-garde-since-you-were-here

It has my friends Norbert and Laida's films plus a film I worked on. They're all great, if I may humbly say so.

Edgware Wolf in London (admrl), Saturday, 25 September 2010 22:42 (2 years ago) Permalink

Or listen to C0l1n and go and see the Patrick Keiller. You'll gain some sorely needed info on the heritage industry in Britain.

Edgware Wolf in London (admrl), Saturday, 25 September 2010 22:43 (2 years ago) Permalink

Also you could go and see "Ruhr". I have yet to actually see it but I'm told it is fun for all the family!
