bump

go see nate dogg's national film registered hours for jerome on tuesday, it's the most beautiful film

Cukor begins today! I wonder if I'll get to 3 of the 50.

hm, five films for $25 is a good deal! LC theater not too accessible for me tho...

Bogdo introducing Adam's Rib!

What do you think his go-with imitation will be: Kate Hepburn? Ruth Gordon?

he'd do Cary Grant introducing I Am Curious (Yellow)

classic conflict tonight of Sylvia Scarlett at Reade (which I don't think I've seen, and isn't on disc) vs two Stanwyck CinemaScope westerns (love Forty Guns, haven't seen The Violent Men, but both are on home media).

that stanwyck retrospective is tempting

have never seen Stella Dallas, aiming for that

... or Clash by Night either

hoping to be back in town for The Grandmaster at filmlinc (Gilman screen) tomw night at 9

Vengeful Women coming to BAM (first retro to include The Heiress and Ms 45?)

http://www.bam.org/film/2014/vengeance-is-hers

i saw "like father, like son" and "stranger at the lake" and was struck by how both allowed insider access to cultures and settings utterly outside of my world. both are recommended but the former requires some patience with watching intensely cute kids have their hearts broken and the latter requires patience with watching men blow each other

different skillsets

I remember the US release of this Margarethe von Trotta film in '81 under the title Marianne and Julianne. Tonight at Spectacle in W'burg, MvT and Barbara Sukowa (!) will be introducing it at Spectacle in Williamsburg.

anyone planning on the 6-hr matthew barney thing in a few weeks? i had an inkling of coming down but i dont think i can swing it now, need some reliable feedback on it

I'm allergic to him

btw I went to Spectacle, and was surprised to find it has exactly 30 seats.

I'll be in town for the weekend portion of this:

oh that looks wonderful

New Directors/New Films

http://www.filmlinc.com/daily/entry/new-directors-new-films-2014-lineup-film-society-lincoln-center-moma

probably most interested in Albert Serra's, also Moroccan gay thing

I've said this before, but Strange Little Cat is a fine little film. I'd see that one as well. It's really not what the description says it is, in my opinion, but it's fine.

ok. I tend not to note what ppl say about a lot of non-US films until there's an immediate opportunity to see them in New York.

Oh, it's not that. It's just that I've only seen a few films outside of the main arthouse stuff, so I've probably mentioned stuff like Closed Curtain, Harmony Lessons and Strange Little Cat way too often... They're all good, though.

and oh boy, Mad Mad World and 1941 on a big screen in the same series. No mention of earplug distribution.

http://www.movingimage.us/films/2014/03/15/detail/see-it-big-comedies/

all the extant Hitchcock features... I think I have 8-9 left to see?

http://www.filmforum.org/movies/more/the_complete_hitchcock

so do i need to see some Jon Jost?

http://www.spectacletheater.com/jon-jost/

(again, 30 seats in that joint)

You'd probably hate it, but yeah

well, it gone

(I didn't realize I had an avant garde-hating reputation)

tons of "Vienna movies" at MoMA for 8 weeks, from silent Lubitsch to Jem Cohen

German version of Murder! on Sunday.

A highly perceptive critic on FB:

Film Forum should put the words YOU ARE NOT SUPERIOR TO THE MOVIE onscreen between shows, in gigantic text, and occasionally have some voice of authority read it aloud. Maybe Morgan Freeman.

having just joined film forum, i am kinda bemused at how louche and luxuriant the culture in the theater is
Titus is hella crusty and IFC is very brusque; FForum was about nobody leaving the theater because everyone wanted to explain the movie to their circle of friends
i am all about egg creams and chocolate orange bundt cake while watching previews tho

You going to Meet The Programmers Brunch this Saturday?

i am kinda bemused at how louche and luxuriant the culture in the theater is

I miss the old days on Watts Street: NO POPCORN. Always sitting near fuckers now who crunch on one kernel at a time.

what's Titus?

oh right MoMA. I've seen old folx munching on plums there.
