and sonuvabitch, the Sea of Love Q&A is sold out already.

Did any of y'all go to the FF screening of Skidoo on Thursday? The Q&A with Austin Pendleton afterwards was one of the more entertaining such things I've ever seen. Dude's first film and he was opposite Jackie Gleason and, for one day's shooting, Groucho Marx. They were up late wining and dining the night before and were finally told they had to head out at 6 am for the shoot because the sea would be calm. Groucho: "Sure, the sea will be calm, but what about Preminger?"

Also a very very cute moment where they brought Jonathan Lynn (who directed Pendleton in My Cousin Vinny) onstage - Pendleton originated the role of Motel in Fiddler on the Roof on Broadway, and Lynn did the same in London, which is how they met. Neat! Some nice anecdotes from Pendleton about directing Elizabeth Taylor in The Little Foxes. Etc., etc.

My comedian friend went. Did AP say anything about OP verbally bullying Groucho?

No, but he agreed with the host's suggestion that it didn't seem like Groucho was having a good time in the picture. TBF, almost all of Groucho's scenes are just him in one room, sometimes with Alexandra Hay or Donyale Luna, so who knows how long he was even shooting and what his interactions with Preminger were like.

Winter Brothers is great, too bad they aren't showing Team Hurricane, those too are the best Danish debuts in ages.

ugh tix for elphant standing still are already on standby only for the sunday i can make it

I have to think Film Forum or someone else will give that a run by fall

I love that that one is getting the attention it's getting, but yikes is it a tough sit.

i sat through a brighter summer day in theaters and it wasn't bad, i'm guessing this one is more non narrative or 'slow'

The reviews are far from unanimous.

I've sitten through a bunch of Lav Diaz, but they are much more... 'fun', than this is. Still, it's undoubtedly an impressive achievement.

warning taken

i moved some things around so i'll catch it this sunday. morbs are you going?

Looking forward to discussing it with you.

haven't planned my weekend yet but doubtful

the gay experimental fest is on in Ridgewood

Alan Rudolph at the Quad (several appearances by AR and Keith Carradine)

Woah, a bunch of these look super interesting. Never even heard of the guy before (though I remember admiring the poster for Roadie over in the claustrophobic caricature thread).

He's Altman Junior, basically. There's a bunch I haven't seen since they were released, but at the top I'd put Choose Me, then Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle, Equinox, Breakfast of Champions, Mortal Thoughts, Remember My Name, The Moderns, Trouble in Mind, The Secret Lives of Dentists, Afterglow.

Roadie is not well regarded, but I'd like to see Songwriter.

There was a big turnout for Welcome to LA last night, so I'd advise advance tix for any screenings w/ Rudolph and his signature star Keith Carradine doing Q&A's.

apparently the Video Free Brooklyn store *will* be reopening as was promised, oh, 18 months ago

Update time!

We're very sorry for the long delay in re-opening @vfbrooklyn at the Alamo Drafthouse. We intended to be open much sooner, but the initial plan for the store design ran into some serious design and logistical snags. We needed to rethink, redesign and start over.
