Has anyone been to the Roxy Tribeca? I suddenly started noticing it in Screenslate and MoviePass recently. Real theater experience or like a room off of the bar/lobby?

I've been - more like the latter, but it's a pretty nice theater! It's downstairs with a little waiting room space outside their nightclub. I liked it.

With the Lincoln Plaza apparently on its last legs, Dan Talbot has died.

Hotel guests get to go for free so you do get random people just wandering in for 5 minutes and then leaving

it's a boutique theater
― Chocolate-covered gummy bears? Not ruling those lil' guys out. (ulysses), Saturday, 30 December 2017 15:18 (six years ago) link
good to know, thanks y'all. i don't mind a little-room theater... spectacle rules, i've really enjoyed some videology screenings for example, n i keep meaning to check out film noir in greenpoint... but one has to be in the right mood.
next question: is there an exact closing date for the landmark sunshine? news reports say its lease is up "in january" which i thought meant december 31st would be it, but it looks like they're promoting screenings through at least 1/27 so maybe it's a 1/31 deal?
― Newb Sybok (Doctor Casino), Saturday, 30 December 2017 15:36 (six years ago) link
It's a bigger theater than some of the IFC screens!
― Screamin' Jay Gould (The Yellow Kid), Saturday, 30 December 2017 15:50 (six years ago) link
lol i've apparently never ended up in the one really really bad IFC screen but a friend told me about it recently. be nice if they'd let you know in advance. "the movie you've selected will be roughly the size of a generously-proportioned TV set."
― Newb Sybok (Doctor Casino), Saturday, 30 December 2017 15:57 (six years ago) link
I can usually tell by the number of showings and how long it's been running...
― ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Saturday, 30 December 2017 15:59 (six years ago) link
Oh wait, I walked by that Roxy Theater when I went to see my friend play at The Django in the same hotel
― Steely Rodin (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 30 December 2017 16:03 (six years ago) link
oh man, theater 5 at IFC, that's the rough one. seen a few films at that front row far right...

I went and saw a movie in one of the tiny IFC rooms after I had half a weed gummy bear and thought I was going to have a panic attack
― badg, Saturday, 30 December 2017 16:10 (six years ago) link
this is the year I've really started to register the embarrassment of riches effect. tonight i'm choosing between three things at metrograph alone. though not being blasted into bits by the wailing winds also has a certain appeal tbh.

― ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 2 January 2018 17:20 (six years ago) link
weirdly, Blade Runner Final Cut is described as "released 10 years after the theatrical cut" - which would be true of the director's cut. i admit it's kinda neat that places will continue to screen things like that and the 1980 Close Encounters "special edition" even though they've been superseded by later variations. not sure anybody actually wants to see the "inside the mothership" cut though....

'new' Fassbinder series gets a Jan 20 marathon screening
https://www.moma.org/calendar/film/3908?locale=en
― ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 2 January 2018 21:20 (six years ago) link
Hmm, do I really want to spend a big chunk of my short stay in New York watching 10 hours of fassbinder? Yes, yes I do. It'll be even more ideal if I can arrange to be hungover for it following some kind of FAP.How does booking tickets normally work for these things?
― Bitcoin Baja (wins), Thursday, 4 January 2018 10:48 (six years ago) link
Wins, fwiw the Fassbinder serial is available in the UK on a very nice Arrow Blu-Ray set, so is not hard to see here (and as it was conceived and shot for television, is perfectly suited to home viewing in discrete episodes).
― Akdov Telmig (Ward Fowler), Thursday, 4 January 2018 10:57 (six years ago) link
film tix for MoMA become available exactly 2 weeks before the screening dates.
― ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 4 January 2018 12:14 (six years ago) link
(you can book them online from the film's page, and I am always very bad at guessing which will 'sell out' in advance)
― ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 4 January 2018 12:31 (six years ago) link
Ah cool, thxxp to ward that's handy to know but I really am into the idea of spending one of the days of my holiday on this (and I meant 8 hours above obviously, duh): it's the kind of cheap solitary activity I'm looking for honestly. Plus I love RWF, and I've seen a few tv things at the cinema recently - not the new twin peaks sadly - and usually enjoy it
― Bitcoin Baja (wins), Thursday, 4 January 2018 16:36 (six years ago) link
also you'll get to experience the banter of MoMA film audiences, which during my 1997 Berlin Alexanderplatz weekend included "Shut up!" "No, YOU shut up!"

wins you might want to consider a membership to moma as all films are free with membership and booking an advance film ticket is five bucks via website.

― ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 4 January 2018 17:28 (six years ago) link
well an individual membership is $85 and benefits kick in immediately and for the year. Moma tix are $12 so if you're gonna see seven films? Likely not.

finally trying metrograph for "wages of fear", kinda hyped to see that big screeni am aware this is not a very snobby post
― Chocolate-covered gummy bears? Not ruling those lil' guys out. (ulysses), Thursday, 18 January 2018 16:37 (six years ago) link
it would be if you claimed Sorcerer is better.

Thought the Wang Bing was a bit disappointing. Really interested in seeing his other couple new films, especially Mrs Fang.

saw WoF at MG last week, was a great experience and i think the supense played really well with being in an audience. i've been hitting that place up a lot since moviepass... super convenient location for me, interesting programming, comfy seats, good picture and sound... even the smaller room is a genuinely Big Screen. no interest at all in the bougie restaurant and treats but they don't affect me.
