jeeez. Maybe I should finally join Cinefamily. Going to any more Zulawski this w/e? Do we need an LA film snob thread?
― Luomas (admrl), Thursday, 8 March 2012 22:13 (twelve years ago) link
i definitely plan on going to 'on the silver globe' on sunday and possibly 'third part of the night' tomorrow (my friend in nyc who's seen 'em highly recommends both), probably will catch a few others as well
― althea and (donna rouge), Thursday, 8 March 2012 22:18 (twelve years ago) link
I want to go to those too, but they will be last-minute calls, provided they don't sell out
― Luomas (admrl), Thursday, 8 March 2012 22:20 (twelve years ago) link
well, I saw Pintilie's Reenactment tonight, a pretty hardcore political allegory of 1968 Romania... except for the first 12 minutes, thx to MoMA's idiotic tendency to seat people in the standby line after the film has begun. Fortunately it's all on YT:

amazing, wasn't it... i'd forgotten nearly all of it since '92

caught possession at bam yesterday. hard to have thoughts on this one, other that i couldn't help wishing i was watching ghostbusters the whole time.

otm, irrespective of what film you are talking about
― john-claude van donne (schlump), Sunday, 11 March 2012 14:23 (twelve years ago) link
skipped Possession, I guess cuz I never liked Ghostbusters (that one time I saw it 28 years ago).
anyone seen Attenberg?
― Literal Facepalms (Dr Morbius), Monday, 12 March 2012 20:18 (twelve years ago) link
Yes, I've seen it. It is...of interest.
― Luomas (admrl), Monday, 12 March 2012 20:55 (twelve years ago) link
Is the Terrence Davies retrospective on at BAM?
― Luomas (admrl), Monday, 12 March 2012 20:56 (twelve years ago) link
next week.
― Literal Facepalms (Dr Morbius), Monday, 12 March 2012 21:11 (twelve years ago) link
you should go
― Luomas (admrl), Monday, 12 March 2012 21:12 (twelve years ago) link
yeah, I've never seen the Trilogy or Distant Voices..., probly will
― Literal Facepalms (Dr Morbius), Monday, 12 March 2012 21:21 (twelve years ago) link
If you've never seen Distant Voices Still Lives, you are in for a treat
― Luomas (admrl), Monday, 12 March 2012 21:39 (twelve years ago) link
Haven't seen Attenberg but I worked a little bit on and can briefly be seen in her prior feature.

LA correspondent reporting:
impending bela tarr retro at cinefamily, via twitter (can't even fathom sitting seven hours in those seats tho, ugh)
and speaking of dutch shorts, friend of mine helped arrange a screening of '70s dutch A-G films at EPFC later this month: https://www.facebook.com/#!/events/410599338955441/
(if i made a separate LA film snob thread would anyone post on it besides me and admrl? there's been some great stuff here lately!)
― althea and (donna rouge), Friday, 16 March 2012 19:37 (twelve years ago) link
Screw it, let's take this thread.
Jon Jost also here (LA) this weekend, I'm hoping to make some of the shows. Donna, we surely have some friends in common...
― hbo with a shotgun (admrl), Friday, 16 March 2012 19:46 (twelve years ago) link
Those Dutch shorts look great, I know Franz Zwartjes but the rest are an intriguing mystery
― hbo with a shotgun (admrl), Friday, 16 March 2012 19:47 (twelve years ago) link
Also you guys can report back on the Menkes. I've seen Phantom Love and Bloody Child, but nothing else.
i bought a ticket for the saturday jost thing
i missed the whole menkes series :/
do you know m4rcy?
― althea and (donna rouge), Friday, 16 March 2012 19:48 (twelve years ago) link
I've never met her but I know who she is, know her ex and am good friends with one of her co-workers.
I'll probably be at Angel City, too haha
― hbo with a shotgun (admrl), Friday, 16 March 2012 19:50 (twelve years ago) link
yeah, i know some of the "film scene" here through her and m4rk i guess
― althea and (donna rouge), Friday, 16 March 2012 19:56 (twelve years ago) link
I've come to like our "film scene"! There's a lot of good people, it's exciting, etc. Things are happening. I don't really know any other similar scenes so I can't really make comparisons, but it seems healthy, diverse
― hbo with a shotgun (admrl), Friday, 16 March 2012 20:02 (twelve years ago) link
Emailing u
so do we need to change ttitle to "bicoastal"?
― Literal Facepalms (Dr Morbius), Friday, 16 March 2012 20:13 (twelve years ago) link
that might be nice, you know? But I am only kidding, we should honor your thread if you want to keep it that way. I try to have one eye on NYC and see what you guys are being treated to. Seems like we have a lot of parallel programs (Zulawski, Menkes, etc) right now.
― hbo with a shotgun (admrl), Friday, 16 March 2012 20:15 (twelve years ago) link
also dr, I finally succumbed & got BAM Cinematek membership, so put curatorial staff on notice. ;)
― Literal Facepalms (Dr Morbius), Friday, 16 March 2012 20:16 (twelve years ago) link
but do you guys have a giant rock????

Message from Original Poster: yes LA film snobs are of course welcome to use this thread, no need to change title. Eric is welcome too.

isn't LACMA the place I read about in the Thom Andersen FC article, where the admin/donors now force them to do staged readings of Reservoir Dogs instead of showing international retros?
― Literal Facepalms (Dr Morbius), Friday, 16 March 2012 20:27 (twelve years ago) link
Eric now cops to hating movies, he is purged.
― Literal Facepalms (Dr Morbius), Friday, 16 March 2012 20:28 (twelve years ago) link
Sounds about right
xp
― hbo with a shotgun (admrl), Friday, 16 March 2012 20:29 (twelve years ago) link
it really is a shame that LACMA's film screenings are so lackluster now, the theater itself is terrific
lol i missed the giant rock en route
― althea and (donna rouge), Friday, 16 March 2012 21:00 (twelve years ago) link
I'm having trouble watching movies myself these days but I did manage to see This Is Not a Film
