All Purpose NYC ILX Film Snob Thread

It was pretty good, like his version of Three on a Couch (more good gags tho).

got into the spillover theater for 'hitchcock' last night at AFI fest, and i have tickets to 9 more screenings between now and wednesday. gotta stock up on visine and snacks...

so was Alma Reville the secret genius of Psycho?

not so much the genius as the bulwark. it's kinda lightweight and i'm not crazy about certain casting choices but it's fun and, thankfully, funny

caught 'post tenebras lux' tonight...like apichatpong w. doing 'tree of life' or something. bizarre and beautiful and i didn't totally understand it but i want to see it again!

MoMA's showing Tenebras and a lotta other acclaimed stuff on their annual Contenders series:

hey guys, has LEVIATHAN played in nyc yet? because if it hasn't yet and it does soon, you MUST MUST MUST see it, on the big screen

maybe the best film i've seen all year, really incredible

just at the NYFF

ha yesss i thought it was kinda like lucretia martel doing tree of life or something; just at least someone w/more of a concrete humanism than malick, maybe. loved this film so much.

I want to try one more time to read "Hollywood on the Hudson." Had to return it to nypl...thinking of getting my very own copy.

Envious.

Brooklyn on the upswing

(frankly, I don't need to watch movies in a bar)

just discovered this annual fest starts tom'w -- in Gowanus....!

http://mixnyc.org/mix/

i knew about it because, if you're a fan of them on FB, they send you a separate invite to EACH SCREENING

I haven't been to nitehawk or rerun or indiescreen but really take movie watching to seriously to want to desk with waiter service.

In other news started getting the daily Screen Slate emails. Great resource.

the Altscreen blog has been down for a week, wish I could take credit after their calendar said O B A M A last Tuesday.

so stoked.

hmmmmmm

Déjà Vu / So Dark the Night might be a gamble I'd take, but Dec is a mad month.

what else is on the dock'?

Just caught The Man In The White Suit at the FF, which ends its run today.

got the BAM email for this series titled MAXIMUM VON SYDOW.
