All Purpose NYC ILX Film Snob Thread

And I just saw Cinemaniac Jack again, walking the streets of Tribeca.

I guess I've never seen Rohmer's Sign of Leo, so I guess I'll go tonight!

didn't make it, actually

debating V Price / 3 Stooges

gonna try FF's sole screening of When Strangers Marry tonight, Robert Mitchum's first starring role in a Wm Castle B.

FF membership just lapsed, please remind me to re-up.

If you wanna go I can get you a ticket at lunch.

No can go tonight, but thanks for the kind offer.

gonna try to hit Our Beloved Month of August at 6:30 @Anthology

You won't regret it. One of the best things I've seen this year.

Also just noticed that Historias extraordinarias is at Latinbeat: http://www.filmlinc.org/wrt/onsale/latinbeat/extraordinarystorieshisto.html . There are way too many good films this month.

yeah, I don't think I can do a 4-hr film right after work anymore w/out dinner!

Must...find a way ... to see some of these.

So I won't be seeing you at Star Spangled to Death or Hitler: A Film From Germany? xp

I have too much goin' on for those, most likely

I want to see the one about Karl May!

i plan on going to the hitler film (with birthday hangover in tow, probably)

I remember seeing Sontag at some of those back in the day, when she had short hair growing back after the chemo. She said she loved her some long German films, her favorite being Heimat.

I remember when that film used to be called Our Hitler -- whose idea was that?
So with the dinner break, that'll go from 2 to 10:30?

Tonight at IFC:

Morbs (or anyone) did you like Month of August?

I struggled to stay awake; I liked the documentary content more than the rest.

Awww, I loved it

loved it too!

(although i think i need a break from those fiction vs reality/documenrty post modern films.)

ya i liked it quite a bit too, although im still kinda of unpacking some of the doc content

maybe i wil try Historias extraordinarias after all

s1ocki loves that movie i tell you

My Man in Toronto had good things to say about new Mahamat-Saleh Haroun (Daratt) and Aktan Arym Kubat's "Light Thief".

The Gomes is one of the best things I've seen all year. Wasn't wild about Face You Deserve or the shorts.

So excited for Historias.

If I wear my Forbidden Planet costume will you recognize me?

Hahah, yeah. But really you should just set aside six and half hours on Saturday, and come to Star Spangled to Death at Un1onD0cs.

saw My Uncle at Film Forum yesterday. Tonight is the last night, don't sleep, it was the besssssssst

I'm not huge on Jacobs. xp

I never knew there was an alternate Englishcentric cut of Mon Oncle.

Yeah, i never saw the original, but I don't think it's TOO far removed from it, save a couple of overdubs

the print was absolutely gorgeous and lush. You would never guess that movie was 50 years old

Wait, there's really an English version? Weird.

English-centric. There's still a looot of French in it! Like they added a couple English overdubs and reshot a few scenes for US audiences.

hey i'm gonna be in NYC next week - anything i should check out?

try getting rush tix for NYFF screenings

http://www.filmlinc.com/nyff/2010/

any particular films you'd recommend, d?

also, donna, just wanna say that i've been totally loving your display names as of late

haha, thanks! can't say i can recommend anything (i have seen, and will only be seeing, one entry in the entire thing) but i'd really like to see the new reichardt and kiarostami features

Come to this program!

It has my friends Norbert and Laida's films plus a film I worked on. They're all great, if I may humbly say so.

Or listen to C0l1n and go and see the Patrick Keiller. You'll gain some sorely needed info on the heritage industry in Britain.

Also you could go and see "Ruhr". I have yet to actually see it but I'm told it is fun for all the family!

my friend co-curated this MoMA fest of silent comedy shorts:

re FF heist series: Anyone seen The Sicilain Clan? (today)
