...and i did. SJ Perelman was one of the 3 credited writers, and he had to have done one screenwriter-suicide joke. And Jack Oakie is always an elfin presence.
Badly wanted to see Ford's Pilgrimage tonight, but was exhausted and saw that there's a DVD in print.
― saltwater incursion (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 12 February 2013 05:13 (eleven years ago) link
i was there too - really liked the long tracking shots at the beginning (to say nothing of the fake busby berkeley, which compared favorably with some of the real busby berkeley of gold diggers)
probably gonna go to the 9:15 "baby face" showing on friday night

two films into the lewis marathon and yep, i'm a convert (missing 'the errand boy' with tashlin cartoons screening this weekend, tho)
the portions of the documentary they've been showing are pretty great too, lots of rare outtakes and home movie footage
tonight though, 'life and death of colonel blimp', which i fell asleep while watching the first time on TCM home sick

thanks dan, that was a very helpful site
as i'm planning to go to moma on my visit anyway, i'm very tempted by the american avant-garde program there on weds at 1.30pm - do these screenings sell out?
also tempted, on the same day, by the screening of straub/huillet's class relations at this place called the bamcinematek
― Ward Fowler, Friday, 26 April 2013 19:50 (eleven years ago) link
I went to an American avant-garde program today at 1.30pm, and no they don't. (Patron after Vorkapich and Maya Deren: "Terrible. 0-for-2.)
I'm going to see Wm Friedkin do a Q&A at BAM after Sorcerer next Thursday; he's there after Cruising on Friday too.

thanks morbs, that weds screening sounds like a lock for me then. the only deren i've seen is meshes of the afternoon, many years ago, which i really enjoyed, but i hadn't seen that much avant-garde cinema at the time (still haven't), so it poss had the strength of revelation
wow that sorcerer screening looks v tempting, assuming there are still tickets available? (i am still planning on seeing the yankees on friday)

What a strange and beautiful film Voyage in Italy is - wonder if Kiarostami knows it, parts of it def brought to mind 'Taste of Cherry' etc.― Ward Fowler, Thursday, January 10, 2013 3:11 PM (3 months ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalinkheh, many pointed out that Certified Copy is kind of a remix!
