Arriving in NYC on Tuesday night. I'll be around for at least a month and lurking/bumping this thread.

As there was no soundtrack/score on the print, FSLC ran last night's 7pm Dulac silent feature in total silence. Terrible idea. Put on a record to drown out the patrons' yawns and gurgling stomachs.

Haha, I remember seeing von Sternberg's Underworld that way at the Film Forum. A totally ridiculous way to screen a film.

― Josefa, Sunday, 26 August 2018 23:18 (seven years ago)

Otm. If I watch something silent at home and don’t like the soundtrack they’ve added to it I mute it and play something else.

looks like the whole series is that way

starting Friday at the Quad, a series I didn't know I needed -- the anthology film. Godard was part of a lot of them.

i esp recommend the Aussie new-wave musical Starstruck

― a Mets fan who gave up on everything in the mid '80s (Dr Morbius), Friday, 14 September 2018 15:03 (seven years ago)

oh cool, i was looking at that one! looks great. if i can compel myself to be that far uptown at that hour i might just make it.

― got the scuba tube blowin' like a snork (Doctor Casino), Friday, 14 September 2018 15:08 (seven years ago)

Make the trip... Starstruck is great.

― Elvis Telecom, Friday, 14 September 2018 19:19 (seven years ago)

yeah wow that was great! thanks for the recommendations, y'all, they helped push us over the top and we had a ball.

the theater (one floor up, in columbia's new, quasi-dystopian manhattanville campus) is a nice room too, more of a wide black box theater than just a dinky little screening room. screen felt big, could really dive into the colors. sound was kind of painfully loud a few times, not sure if that was specific to the film, the settings in the control room, or the acoustics. but i'd def see a movie there again.

I need to figure out if there's a way for me to advance-book the free student tix I get cause it's such a huge huge resource of which I've almost utterly failed to take advantage.

Darlings, I'll believe that when I can stream all those recently restored Fox Films titles. One at AFI and two at Capitolfest does not make the grade.
