All Purpose NYC ILX Film Snob Thread

Maybe you can pull some strings with Bruc3 G0ldstein?

Actually I officially gave up around here.

B-b-but that was the only thread there that had any life in it. Well, that and the rockism one.

The ILF excelsior thread, however, is classsic as is.

Indeed.

B-b-but that was the only thread there that had any life in it. Well, that and the rockism one.
I can't find the thread where I stopped posting in parentheses and Morbius accused me of some Weekend At Bernie's behavior.

Memories.

'S'all I got, and the few that remain are fading fast.

I got ticket to 9:30 Germi tomorrow, Thursday, which I intend to use, barring the not unlikely work, home or health emergency.

ah, 5:30 for me.

Anyone seen any Marc Recha?

I'll take that as a no.

More Brakhage at Antholgy Sunday (Pittsburgh Trilogy)

There's a big Max Ophuls retro coming to BAM at month's end; don't see anything on their site, but here:

A friend of mine is trying to get me to go see Raiders of the Lost Ark: The Adaptation at The Anthology tomorrow or over the weekend. Looks like an interesting curiosity, but I dunno.

UGH @ ophuls competing w/ sembene!!

the brief clip i watched of the adaptation looked awesome. i suggest you get on line REEEEEAL early if you end up seeing it, tho

in my GRE-prompted cinema ban i didn't realize i missed ALL of the germis (except for divorce, italian style which i've already seen)

I am suspicious of Raiders Adaptation. For one, I haven't watched ROTLA 20x like everyone else has, apparently.

Also, Sembene v Ophuls v Pasolini.

I would focus on the otherwise unavailable OS & MO.

Jiri Menzel is at BAM tonight w/ his latest, but I know nothing about it.

I'm suspicious too, but I may have to go out of a social obligation.

the ophuls stuff is up on the website now, btw

Why is Summer With Monika in the Times today? New print?

yes. haven't seen it in eons.

Anyone seen/seeing the Albert Ayler doc at AFA?

I was sposta review it. They sent me a European DVD.

If anyone has MIX tips, speak:

http://www.mixnyc.org/index.html

Maybe I'd go to the 11pm Friday shorts, if I'm up.

after today, Divorce—Italian Style is only playing 9:20 pm at FF.

Get your Norman Lloyd tickets yet?

no, but I see they're available.

Yes, that's what I was trying to tell you.

o i c

Divorce was cute. Why anyone thinks it's GREAT, I'm not sure.

Saw it years ago, didn't make much of an impression. Wasn't he Oscar nominated?

yes, it got several; Germi too?

I hv my N Lloyd ticket.

Hoberman on Sembene (and Ophuls, briefly):

If I go to see Salo, should I bring someone to hold my hand?

http://www.filmlinc.com/wrt/onsale/pasolini/program.html

I would recommend any NY snob to see Letter from an Unknown Woman on its last night @BAM tonight; it fulfilled all of my expecs.

I would recommend any NY snob EVERYONE ON THE PLANET to see Letter from an Unknown Woman

fixed

Salò makes an even more problematic date movie than Jeanne Dielman!

Ophuls and Sembene have taken over my December.

there were maybe 15 people at last night's 7:45 show of Guelwaar.

I am trying to figure out how to squeeze in Skolimowski's Deep End...

AFA is doing a full Weerasethakul retro in mid-Jan.

BAM is doing a Manoel de Oliveira centennial retro in Feb or March! I wonder if he'll fly in!?

Haha, at last year's NYFF-screening of Belle toujours, Kent Jones or whoever basically said "uh, you guys didn't expect him to be here did you?"

He came to the NYFF about 6 years ago. Still, he was a sprig of 93 then.

AFA seems to have retros planned for olivier assayas, charles burnett and albert brooks (!) as well

haha AND a new print of myra breckinridge!!

snobs, I think I can only make 1 tonight -- which? None are on DVD.

1) Camp de Thiaroye (Sembene) - saw it maybe 12 years ago, it's fine
2) Caught (Ophuls) - never seen
3) Deep End (Skolimowski) - never seen (last night of week run)

What time is Deep End?

7 & 9.

Ophuls is 7 only.

and I could only make 7:30 of Sembene (it's long).

I thought about running 10 mins to the F from BAM to get to Anthology, but the odds are vs that.

as close as these places all are to each other they are also NOT CLOSE ENOUGH

(probably not seeing any of those tonight, trivia)

I guess I will go to Ophuls and see if splices shorten the running time enough to dash to Deep End.

Any Joan Blondell fans in the house?

http://www.moma.org/exhibitions/film_exhibitions.php?id=6736

also, FOSSE!

http://www.filmlinc.com/wrt/onsale/allthatfosse/program.html

also I'm going to try to take children to City Lights.

Otto!

Expect I'll see Daisy Kenyon at last tomw night, tho I've seen Laura plenty.

Still holds up

And the intro was entertaining and useful

Powell Pressburger at MoMA with some intros by Thelma (and Marty too, I think):
https://www.moma.org/calendar/film/5707

Thelma was also be at the Film Forum with Kent Jones to discuss THE SMALL BLACK ROOM: https://filmforum.org/film/the-small-back-room

Melville retro on at the Film Forum this week.

Recommended! Seems like a miniature do-over of their 2017 retrospective, when I had the time and gusto to see probably five or six of his for the first time.

Been going to a lot of different series this spring and summer but so far not the 70mm films at MoMI, which is almost over, but may go to 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY this weekend.

Every year, I get big plans for the MOMI 70mm series. If it were just a little easier to get there from where we live, I'd clean up. So many great-looking things! Paris Theater has started their own version, which kicks off next week...

Meanwhile at FF: Blaxploitation series, soon to be followed by Spielberg retrospective!

It’s easy for me to get there, just not easy for me to remember to go to MoMI. Last time I went was for Terence Davies’s hard-to-see HOUSE OF MIRTH, thanks to a reminder on this borad.

Jordan Belson abstracts at e-flux on March 25. If I was in NYC I'd totally be there

Debating whether to go to Cat People tonight.

It was good!

About to watch It Happened Here.

Wondering if I have the Sitzfleisch for Napoleon.

Pushing some kind of envelope now at the Abbott and Costello horror movie thing at MoMI.

Great to see Pandora's Box in a theater. And the Daniel Kehlmann introduction was excellent.

New cashier at the FF is a big Kevin Brownlow fan.

And now they have a new cookie named after on ILX0r: kitchen sinker.

Anyway, went back to the final day of Brownlow for an Abel Gance doc and Winstanley.

Wonder if I should go to MoMI tonight to see either Tarantula in the small theater or Carrie in the big theater.

Saw the Squid and the Whale last night at BAM with Baumbach, Daniels and Eisenberg there for a post-film Q&A. Holds up well, great with an audience. Wasn't aware that Daniels' character was based on Baumbach's father, to the extent that Daniels wore his clothing during the shoot. Daniels shared a story of meeting him that aligned very much with the the depiction in the film. Eisenberg went from looking angry to be in the room to dourly funny and back a few times.

Thinking about going to see The Joyless Street at MoMA this coming week.

Anyone know this noir playing at BAM tonight, _The Locket_, with Laraine Day and Robert Mitchum?

Anyway have a screening today at MoMI but got confused and thought it was at one instead of four so am here three hours early. First time for everything

Anyway all's well that ends well, screening and Q&A were good and I ran into a friend there.

That was A Little Prayer

Thinking about going to see _The Joyless Street_ at MoMA this coming week.

Bruce Conner's Three Screen Ray is playing at the Paula Cooper Gallery on W 21st. I haven't seen it but I hope someone here does
https://www.paulacoopergallery.com/exhibitions/bruce-conner6

Still need to see that

Came to say I just saw Un Poeta at IFC.

And now I just walked over to see Three Screen Ray
