Fuck yeah

nu prints of all of those wd be nice

i haven't seen any hou hsiao-hsien; should prob remedy that

dang @ that retro. even just its sidebars.

Man, you guys are lucky. Puppetmaster is my favorite, but have never seen an hhh on the big screen.

never occurred to me but: yeah me neither. of everything i've seen puppetmaster felt like it was suffering the most from home viewing. would so love a season. i think about café lumiere maybe most days.

Puppetmaster is my favorite...

to nap to.

planning to see the restored digital Zulu tonight @ Reade

Schedule is up

Friend of mine knows the guy who organized it, says it was incredibly hard getting a 35mm print of Puppetmaster so that should be pretty high on everybody's priorities

as i said on the hhh thread, i might double feature cute girl and puppetmaster next saturday, ironman style. haven't seen either and don't know anything abt cute girl really except that it seems pretty rare--can't even find it on k4r4garga.

having recently moved to nyc the prospect of seeing actual prints of repertory films (instead of burned dvds haphazardly projected onto the walls of art spaces) is, like, giddying. so hype.

What's the word on Fedora?

i saw it about 20 years ago and liked it.

Should I be upset that I am going to miss Flowers of Shanghai due to work?

Will probably check out Puppetmaster.

Flowers is great, but you should be able to find a DVD of that.

I don't think I can pull the trigger on Puppetmaster a third time, it let me cold twice.

Restored original silent Chicago (co-directed by deMille), Monday night only

Final day for Fedora at the Film Forum.

I resaw last night -- it could be BW's best post-Apartment film inho (tho I might go with Kiss Me, Stupid).

Pretty much ruined by the FF's condescending guffawers, of course. Fucking shits.

anybody see Starred Up? Rave reviews yet ending at both FSLC and IFC today, very strange.

aw, i wish i had known that; was wanting to see shortly.

it's on amazon VOD which probably takes some wind out of theatrical sails

still, given that the actor is the star of the big year-end Jolie movie.

Anthology's Ed Wood retro includes some of the later sexytime movies:

Goddammit I keep missing every 35mm screening of The Cobweb, like tonight when I have baseball tix. Fortunately I know where to get a DVD.

Rudolph Grey presents Ed Wood miscellanea tonight at Anthology, 7:30

bird people is worth seeing; feels like there's an amazing film in there somewhere but the pacing is overly fatuous and there are numerous tactical errors... the use of Bowie and a painfully long skype are particular culprits. But the bird's eye (and bird tracking) footage is amazing and the new-yorkeresque storyline are fascinating when they're not abused.

has anyone discovered Georgian cinema, previously?

IFC Center tribute to Gordon Willis at 8 tonight with 35mm print of The Purple Rose of Cairo.

Anyone seen Memphis or Stop the Pounding Heart?

zero theorem is sadly sort of rote gilliam, never boring but sophomoric in its philosophy and politics

Nick Cave movie held over at FF btw

http://filmforum.org/film/20000-days-on-earth-film-page

Stephen Chow movies at BAM coming soon

Journey to the West on Oct. 12; i may try to catch at least that.

good stuff

MoMA's To Save and Project schedule (incl the Welles footage, if you haven't watched it online yet):

Now that I'm back all the fun stuff is over :-(

I saw The Plea in the Georgian MoMA series yesterday and it was phenomenal (of course, not screening again). A City of Sadness was completely full in Astoria, i had to sit on a plastic portable chair.

You disappeared after CoS ... The series ends this Fri ... I'm looking forward to having some more free time.

I'm trying Dear White People Tomorrow.
http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/dear_white_people/

i did not disappear, i was walkin' around

also, there was a mob.

FSLC just moved their sole screening of Mankiewicz's The Honey Pot tonight up one hour from 6:30 to 5:30, which means I can't go, need to get a refund, and will never ever see it.
