so stoked to see ON THE BOWERY on the big screen next week!

Dr. Morbius' review: http://www.slantmagazine.com/film/review/on-the-bowery/5012

yer mad, I don't know that guy.

ok missed ON THE BOWERY but had a blast w/ the Cannon series @ lincoln center

saw 52 pick up + operation thunderbolt + runaway train (!!!) + the apple (:D :D :D)

had to skip Cannon, i am in year-end hell

Did anyone see Farocki (or any of the films) at 16Beaver?

i'm seldom familiar w/ subjects of your questions!

Every Man for Himself at 6:30, i think

wtf! i missed a farocki retrospective? i watched some of his shorts on a tv while i was in nyc

If you don't know Harun Farocki, Morbius, you are (maybe?) in for a treat

yes, yes you are!

Whoa, Morbs, you should get on that! Surprised you haven't seen Inextinguishable Fire.

It wasn't really a retro, more like a quasi seminar thing -- http://www.16beavergroup.org/farocki/ . Really disappointed I couldn't make it.

love farocki, would've loved to have seen this

Anything filmy that's unique to NYC worth going to from 11/25-12/2?

Last three days of The Leopard

no, Visconti didn't film the chapter where he dies.

You got me that time.

headed for 2:30 Leopard if anyone (incl me) can make it.

Shooting for 8

Did you make it?

yes. packed with snow casualties. I was even gonna stay for Eisenstein but wanted to get the curb-jumping over with.

Wasn't too crowded-or too snowy at 8- although I did have to sit in front of a bickering old couple.

Anyway, glad I made it there, and will be back for Fritz Land and Cluny Brown.

you'd hate scenes from a marriage
xp

Fritz Land would be a grim theme park.

Did bickering old couple go "You cross yourself before every embrace! I've never seen your navel!"

Haha, no, not those exact words.

Also haha at description of "Fritz Land"

'78 Oliveira longie in Astoria Saturday:

Not film, but I hope to catch some of this next weekend:

yes, go! my grad colleague is co-curating it, really wish i could go

haven't been able to make a single one of the Soviet actions films @ Reade yet, of course. Aiming for 7:10 tonight.

tix still available for Deneuve introducing Repulsion at BAM tonight.

Seriously? Are you going?

no idea yet. perhaps not.

I checked and it seems you can't buy the tix online.

First time I ever saw Repulsion was a 3 a.m. showing on TV about 30 years ago. Creeped me out tremendously.

VP, it appears you can, here:

also, not til 9:40. sleepy sleepy sleepy

Yeah, that's kind of late to be stuck in Brooklyn watching Repulsion, but Catherine Deneuve!

Could just hang out in the lobby and wait for her to walk to the car at 9:45!

Thieves & Genealogies of a Crime are both super, btw

Seriously, don't encourage me, because I would do that!

Manuel DeLanda at Anthology all weekend. Bummed I can't make it. Raw Nerves really blew me away -- it's concerns are familiar, but I've never seen anything else quite like it -- and these are hard to see. Good weekend at MMI too: Great batch of Resnais' and the David Perlov diaries.

I saw Muriel last week--it was quite boring. Going to try to catch Providence with Dirk Bogarde.

Muriel, boring?

seconding 'raw nerves', it's a blast
