All Purpose NYC ILX Film Snob Thread

Didn't you have some story about his moth-eaten sweater?

yes.

It was his friend, the voice of Rocky the Squirrel, her name escapes me right now, said they did a reading at the Museum of Television and Radio maybe, and when somebody asked about the worn-out piece of clothing he said, in that inimitable voice, "That's my college sweater!", right?

yes, cept it happened in the Bullwinkle studio and she told the story at MT&R when he was long dead.

Well the 3 Sunday silents don't appear to be otherwise "available," as Soto would say, so I guess I'm going.

Hope I can get to some.

Wait, those are all today?!?

Three of them. There are more.

Yes, I see. One with Louise Brooks, pre-Pabst.

They can't spread em out over 8 weeks; silent pitchers are box-office POISON!

One Mann's poison

Did you go?

yes

And?

dropping this here for myself

Redd, they're all worth watching; HH probably shows the most versatility in Fazil, a potboiler "mixed-race" romantic melodrama.

Arthur Lake (the future Dagwood in those Blondie B pictures) is very funny as a femalephobic frat boy in The Cradle Snatchers, which is incomplete in its salvaged form. Also, F Pangborn as a jealous husband.

Fig Leaves is cute, as is George O'Brien's chest. It's on YouTube, p crappy quality.

(presumably translated) chinese movie titles are so evocative

Cruel and unusual silent comedy shorts begin tom'w! Silent Edw Ev Horton! Snub Pollard!

Sorry for the street team post here, but my buddy Jeff who made "Heavy Metal Parking Lot" is showing his new movie doc "Led-Zeppelin-Played-Here" at Anthology Film Archives Friday at 6 pm and Saturday at 3 pm. It's a doc about whether or not Led Zep actually played the Wheaton, MD Community Center in 1969, and it covers other early rawk gigs from touring bands in those days before the rock industry had fully been established.

James Redd and Morbs, I think you will enjoy it

We'll see, but I see few films in October due to baseball, so I will possibly miss the entire Demy retro:

showing in NYC twice

James Redd would probably like this one too. Plus a Johnny Thunders one too I think

J Hoberman introducing Marienbad tomorrow at FF. Venez-vous?

I have to review a film regular ppl will actually read about.

Quel dommage.

i saw Marienbad last just a couple years ago; it's great but i don't need to see it again yet.

Me neither, I just want to see what Hoberman has to say. I enjoyed his commentary on Justine a little while back.

If I didn't have a review screening i'd likely opt for this

Looks good.

anyone care to argue me out of a bi-borough doubleheader tonight of Resnais swan song You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet and '70s nugget Cisco Pike (Krostofferson, Hackman, Karen Black)?

Morbius, are you turning into J4ck 4nstr31ch?

likely not, but i often wait til the 'last' opportunity to see something, and this is it x2.

C Akerman at MoMA tomw night

http://www.moma.org/visit/calendar/films/1429

friend told me that when CA intro'ed 'la region centrale' at light industry she was super-cantankerous and wearing a sleep mask

Do you know that my friend who directed Annenberg used to say that Chantal Ackerman was her godmother? Well her and Melina Mercouri and Anouk Aimee. Probably already told you this before, perhaps on this very thread.

Sorry, Attenberg.
