All Purpose NYC ILX Film Snob Thread

I missed your review, M.--you need to shamelessly promote yourself on FB more.

Can't do Mildred at MOMI either, because I am seeing Mark Rylance in Jerusalem. We need a theater snob thread.

taiwan season at the lincoln center looks good -

edward yang popping up directing an episode of something

Haynes' Superstar in W'burg on Thurs along with a Garrel/Nico film:

anyone care to vouch for The Makioka Sisters as a must-see?

Ha, I was going to try to see it this weekend but didn't make it. Never seen it either.

being released on Criterion in a few weeks.

I've seen it on TV--it's sort of exactly what you would expect, but maybe it works better on the big screen. I preferred the book.

Fans of Dead of Night should head over to Film Forum to see Went The Day Well?

yeah, I have to, since predictably it's the last night and I've been "busy"

So a bunch of events, some free, to open the new Linc Ctr screens this weekend. Just got a FSLC email about the Coen Bros discussing their opening scenes (mod Noah Baumbach) Friday eve.

Cool. Did you see that Romanian thing at the FF?

long list of things I'm not going to...tonight at Spectacle two movies with soundtracks by Can that look pretty awesome.

yes, I recommend the Romanian adultery pic highly

is that tuesday, after christmas?

yep

have a res for tomw night's "Joel & Ethan Coen in conversation with Noah Baumbach" at Linc Ctr.

Would like to go to FF in next two days to see Rejoice and Shout or La Dolce Vita restoration but don't think I can make it.

Rejoice and Shout ends w/ Obama's election, so that rules it out for me (Armond otm)

I agree the Obama clip seemed out of place, most of the rest of it was good and worth seeing. I'm rather sorry it didn't do better.

Tried to go last night to the last show but didn't make it.

Le Rayon Vert coming July 1.

I just saw it at BAM, now it's coming to Film Forum.

Usually it's BAM that seems to show things after other places (maybe just my skewed perception).

no, that's the way

Film Forum is also showing Dial M for Murder in 3-D scheduled through 6/23.

Skolimowski's "The Shout" tonight in Queens. Just noticed that Jim Broadbent is in this.

Saw it about a year ago, strange piece of work.

Witchfinder General is playing at 92Y tomw night (8pm, I think).

intriguing series at the anthology:

richard brody wrote about the eustache film after it played a few months back, sounds interesting. i think this kind of thing sometimes sounds more compelling than it actually might end up being, so at least having the chance to see it in numbers locked in a dark room gives you reason to go.

& spectacle is screening Out 1, in full, over two days, if you're really at a loose end

I have about a week left in NYC before moving away. Any haps this week? Film, non-film, music, it's-hot-wanna-enjoy-life-before-it-ends-in-a-week kinda stuff, etc?

In the Heat of the Night free in Bryant Park tonight...

i'd be at the william lustig series at anthology this week, if i were you (hard-to-find '60s/'70s gritty potboilers, mostly)

Whoa, thanks. Totally badass.

Yeah, those look great. Too bad I'm swamped with projects and never get out.

it's unfortunately ending right before i fly into nyc :/

If you're around tonight, Spectacle is showing two GREAT films from Jean-Pierre Gorin's USA trilogy.

wau, is it the first two? i still have routine pleasures to watch, but poto & cabengo's a must

You should also check Screen Slate or Alt Screen for film listings.

x-post

It's Poto and Cabengo and My Crasy Life, which is easily the weakest of the three, but definitely worth hunting down.

so Rosa von Praunheim has a new doc at Newfest called Rent Boys:

If you've never seen it in a theater, this is a must tonight:

http://altscreen.com/07/25/2011/alt-screen-presents-will-success-spoil-rock-hunter-1957/

anything good/essential coming up this week? might try to squeeze a movie in at some point while i'm in town

I would let Altscreen be your bible.

oh, the two Raoul Walsh pre-Code romcoms at Film Forum Tuesday night are FANTASTIC! Me and My Gal / Sailor's Luck.

Then Thursday there's Airport 1975 at the Chelsea, hosted by Hedda Lettuce.

tonight I guess I might finally see James Whale's Waterloo Bridge at FF

and I did.

Triple bill tonight is impossible, but maybe two, incl Union Depot

Totally wanted to go to FF on Sunday but didn't.

Union Depot is kind of funny, espesh. in terms of its gender politics. There's an implied hooker, IIRC

Hey guys, you should go and see LITTLEROCK this week, it was made by a friend of mine.

p sure it was included in talking head, at the anthology - did anyone see/has anyone seen scorsese's italianamerican? i was always curious about it.

yes, his parents are marvelously entertaining in it.

i oughtta see.
i think i am maybs in NY around the time of the film festival at the start of october; hope to coincide with something exciting. i always fuck up at festivals by seeing things that are just out, two months later, rather than never to be screened again.

The NYFF shows less 'never to be screened again' stuff every year, cept for the sidebars. I mean, they're showing the restored 1959 Ben-Hur this year!
