― cºzen (Cozen), Tuesday, 31 August 2004 16:55 (twenty-one years ago)

I know I'm weird. :-(

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 31 August 2004 17:05 (twenty-one years ago)

hi cozen!!!

― amateur!!st, Tuesday, 31 August 2004 17:11 (twenty-one years ago)

convince me to drive 2 and a half hours to go see this please

fuck.

― todd swiss (eliti), Thursday, 2 September 2004 02:55 (twenty-one years ago)

if you're not convinced by this thread... i'm not sure what else i can say! you should see it!

does it really take 2 1/2 hours from where you are?

― amateur!!!st (amateurist), Thursday, 2 September 2004 03:00 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah, unless i really want to push it... remember, i am in goddamn champaign

god, i want to see this in the theater so bad, but 5 hours of driving isnt that pleasant

― todd swiss (eliti), Thursday, 2 September 2004 03:02 (twenty-one years ago)

oh i forgot you are at school now.

maybe you can come up here for the weekend and catch it?

― amateur!!!st (amateurist), Thursday, 2 September 2004 03:06 (twenty-one years ago)

i wish, but i am working the entire weekend, like 10 hours a day.

i feel that tomorrow is my last hope

― todd swiss (eliti), Thursday, 2 September 2004 03:15 (twenty-one years ago)

tomorrow is obi wan kenobi to your imperial federation

― amateur!!!st (amateurist), Thursday, 2 September 2004 04:39 (twenty-one years ago)

fuck it, i am going.

you cant always see playtime in 70mm.

― todd swiss (eliti), Thursday, 2 September 2004 05:42 (twenty-one years ago)

it was worth 5 hours of driving.

i agree with most that has been said. the waiter who constantly primped himself was absolutely classic.

and the loud american, so spot on.

that whole restaurant scene was so complex and great. this film seemed more like real life (people always doing stuff in the background).

pithy.

― todd swiss (eliti), Friday, 3 September 2004 07:20 (twenty-one years ago)

That sounds awesome. I am going on Labor Day, I think.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 3 September 2004 14:23 (twenty-one years ago)

i've seen this three times now! i might make it four.

btw i'm buying this soon:

The plan is tomorrow (Monday) at 8 pm. I'll be there with R., although anyone else is welcome to join us.

what is that picture of, amateurist? a book, a record, a box set?

I would just like to categorically state that my first born child will be called jacques tati. he can be friends with your harry dean stanton.

― cºzen (Cozen), Sunday, 31 October 2004 10:28 (twenty-one years ago)

I've never looked at this thread with images on before. my loss.

I wish there was a cinema tht played 'play time' every day.

My favorite waiter is the second primping-in-the-mirror one, who gets handed the fish after the first waiter spent too long looking in the mirror.

― Eric H. (Eric H.), Saturday, 2 April 2005 07:05 (twenty-one years ago)

that's the guy who starts "fixing" the fish platter with his fingers, right? so gross.

i love this movie so much.

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Saturday, 2 April 2005 14:53 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, he rearranges the oranges (or whatever) AFTER fixing his hair.

A wondrous film. I've seen it in theaters 3 or 4 times, because ANY kind of home viewing would seem to diminish it.

Nice!

Still no word yet from Criterion on a re-release.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 13 September 2005 17:07 (twenty years ago)

Any word yet on an amateurist re-release?

― k/l (Ken L), Tuesday, 13 September 2005 17:11 (twenty years ago)

That Mon Oncle poster is in the center window of the Brill Building currently. You can see it when walking across the street.

watch it on the big screen: http://www.yale.edu/cinema/

if you do, give a shout! figuratively speaking

― youn (youn), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 22:58 (nineteen years ago)

in 70mm?

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Thursday, 21 September 2006 00:28 (nineteen years ago)

Probably 16.

― Run Ruud Run (Ken L), Thursday, 21 September 2006 00:31 (nineteen years ago)

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Thursday, 21 September 2006 00:58 (nineteen years ago)

well i hope it's a nice print.

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Thursday, 21 September 2006 02:48 (nineteen years ago)

It's playing in 70mm in Amsterdam next month...

― Orange (Orange), Thursday, 21 September 2006 06:37 (nineteen years ago)

I just watched it for the first time in a while with the Criterion re-release, and it's probably my favorite movie to just look at by a pretty wide margin. I also like how there are no "memorable quotes" listed on the IMDB page. Here's a shortish blurb I wrote.

― nate p. (natepatrin), Thursday, 21 September 2006 16:45 (nineteen years ago)

I got it at home waiting for me.

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn (Alfred Soto), Thursday, 21 September 2006 17:24 (nineteen years ago)

The extras are supposed to be great, though the only one I've watched so far is the making-of doc. The shot of Tati chucking a copy of the script at one of the skyscraper facades as it's being pulled down is amazing.

― nate p. (natepatrin), Thursday, 21 September 2006 17:25 (nineteen years ago)

there are no "memorable quotes" listed on the IMDB page.

true, but my favorite line has to be "c'est cod."

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Thursday, 21 September 2006 17:50 (nineteen years ago)

(though the stray bits of "ambient" dialogue from mr. hulot's holiday stick in my mind more: "eh bien cher madame dans cet epoque j'etait cap-i-taine de cavalry..."

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Thursday, 21 September 2006 17:51 (nineteen years ago)

)

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Thursday, 21 September 2006 17:51 (nineteen years ago)

er, j'etais

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Thursday, 21 September 2006 17:52 (nineteen years ago)

i haven't watched the extras yet. there are some french docus on tati that i was surprised didn't make it on the new dvd.

additionally there is a fabulous book in france (which is actually out of print i think) on the production of "playtime" (written by..stephane goudet maybe?) which deserves to be translated. he did another one on "jour de fete," concentrating on the preparation of the first true color version in the 1990s.

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Thursday, 21 September 2006 18:03 (nineteen years ago)

really these are the only BOOKS (as opposed to stray articles) on tati that i like a lot.

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Thursday, 21 September 2006 18:04 (nineteen years ago)

no memorable quotes, but all the squeaky glass and chairs and broken glass and ice makes for one of the most memorable soundtrack soundscapes, no?
