Sadly, MOMI is always a "destination" theater for me (Bushwick-based these days). Sit back, enjoy the show, have a potato.

Now I kind of want to read the book
― Through with “What’s the Buzz” (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 24 October 2021 20:45 (two years ago) link
This movie is a great favourite of mine, and I did read the book (Benighted by J. B. Priestley). My memory of it is a bit dim, but I do recall it being a bit of a slog to get through - it's very heavy on long, earnest discussions about life and love (some of which appear, in abbreviated form, in the film). Reading it satisfied my curiosity, but didn't really enhance my enjoyment of the film. And the performances and atmosphere in the film are so incredible that the book seems flat by comparison.

Thanks. Next question is how much trouble should I go to to see Gods and Monsters.

Speaking of MOMI, they've announced the next See It Big series, with the theme of "Extravaganzas." Some pretty fun stuff in there!

Film Forum's Road Movies series starts Friday the 12th and is chockablock with classics, plus a few lesser-known items. A ton of these are on my personal watchlist, woohoo!

Toshiro Mifune at Film Forum, 2/11 to 3/10.
I still haven't seen several of the big Kurosawas, so I'm excited just for that. But I should try and branch out too... any recommendations?

Wow, my county’s liquor laws suck but we allow alcohol in theaters. Surprised you guys don’t have that.
― Chris L, Thursday, 3 February 2022 06:40 (two years ago) link
Per the U.S. Constitution, liquor laws are devolved to the state level (and some of these states pass on the privilege to subjurisdictions). It's a matter of negotiating with one legislature at a time.

Why do I bookmark this thread? I'm on the other side of the continent. If not for that fact, and the fact that I'm trying not to become infected, I would be at so many of these screenings. On my last trip to NY I saw "Call Her Savage" (a pre-code talkie w/Clara Bow) at MoMA. Excellent.

It feels like all of a sudden the great series are piling up frenetically and overwhelmingly on top of each other, just like old times. At BAM: Brazilian Modernism and Cicely Tyson. Film Forum's got the New York 1945-1955 thing. MOMI's got little short things, e.g. the Bogdanovich tribute that's just Saint Jack and At Long Last Love.... and now you tell me about this thing at MOMA!

Wait, did you guys mention this yet?
The festival concludes with the North American premiere theatrical run (February 4–10) of Valerio Zurlini’s La prima notte di quiete (Indian Summer) (1972)—an austere, tragic romance starring Alain Delon as a failed poet—in its original, uncut Italian version.

Not sure how long this has been going on, but whoever's programming the Netflix-owned Paris Theater seems to have decided that if their venue is going to primarily be a vehicle for Netflix films to maintain awards qualification, they might as well also show other interesting stuff too. currently: a list of appealing titles (La Cienaga, Under the Skin, Kiarostami's Where Is The Friend's House?) that apparently inspired The Lost Daughter. coming up: a one-week Jane Campion retrospective, all on 35mm, in parallel with daily screenings of Power of the Dog (if, like me, you're wishing you'd seen it on a big-ass screen instead of an IFC basement room). i haven't been yet, but it seems like they've made a serious play for inclusion in the NYC repertory circuit!
― The creator of Ultra Games, for Nintendo (Doctor Casino), Monday, 7 March 2022 15:10 (two years ago) link
Oh hi. I actually went and saw Power of the Dog there early on under the auspices of MUBI GO and yeah.

Update to the above: it's actually one-third of a mega-program, in tandem with FSLC (showing NYC experimental films of the period) and the Jewish Museum (exhibiting work by NYC artists of the period). Ticket stubs at each yield discounts for the other two!

re: johnny crunch's link, I've been meaning to check out Film Noir for ages. Seems like Spectacle but with an even more idiosyncratic/individual taste guiding the programming (for better and for worse). I think I overlook it because the listings don't seem to consistently show up on Screen Slate (and often have no descriptions on the venue website).
