re Cheyenne Autumn, I've seen foreign prints w/ gratuitous subtitles before... now dreading hipster snickering. I'll bring a polo mallet.

Saint Jack in Anthology's Gazzara fest tonight

also Robbe-Grillet/Trintignant twinbill at FF

I booked my ticket for playtime on the 27

cool, I think I can go to that.

cool lmk!

bummed that Keir Dullea will only be at Fri screening of 2001, not sure I can go

I'm missing both 2001 screenings unfortch

from BAM:

Out of respect for the victims of last week’s shooting and their families, today’s screenings of Female Trouble and Silent Night Bloody Night have been postponed. Instead, we will screen John Landis’ Trading Places.

sold out of 2001 bcz i yam dumb

tonight's conundrum: 'daisies'/'first blood' at cinefamily v. 'an american in paris'/'gigi' at the egyptian

or stay in and watch 'x-files' idk

daisies/gigi wd be a good twinbill

holy hell this series looks great (and oddly "hip" for FF)

http://www.filmforum.org/movies/more/new_yawk_new_wave

well, they can't run Lubitsch or Stanwyck every season.

Why not?

anthology's showing 'christmas on earth' and having taylor mead in person while i'm in town, which is nice of them

bcz we've seen em all, Redd.

(dr, check with me on seeing NY/NW or any of The Clock... tho I'm disappointed they're showing one program of the same Kuchar shorts that get shown all the time.)

will do!

AFA's 'film as a subversive art' series looks incredible

http://anthologyfilmarchives.org/film_screenings/series/40458

looks like The Cool World at FF today for me, have never seen it. Lead actor Rony Clanton at the 4:50 show.

^this was amazing

on the NY nuwave series:

Worth seeing that one if you haven't.

Finally using MUBI. Weird thing is that if I am not logged on I can see which films have just been added or about to run out of the 30 days but if I am logged on I can't seem to.

Oh wait, is that for people who are on the free trial.

Or is it the last gasp of the old policy

OK, I see. It is the difference between mubi.com and us.mubi.com. I guess the first is supposed to go away at some point soon.

Richard Kramer's low-budget revolutionary epic Ice at Film Forum tonight:

Australian '70s/80s retro, Fred Schepisi Q&A tonight w/ The Chant of Jimmiw Blacksmith.

and as prev noted, Amos Vogel faves

http://anthologyfilmarchives.org/film_screenings/series/40458

can't wait for some of these - going to gold diggers/sitting pretty this afternoon

i'm gonna try to make Sitting Pretty at 6:30

...and i did. SJ Perelman was one of the 3 credited writers, and he had to have done one screenwriter-suicide joke. And Jack Oakie is always an elfin presence.

Badly wanted to see Ford's Pilgrimage tonight, but was exhausted and saw that there's a DVD in print.

i was there too - really liked the long tracking shots at the beginning (to say nothing of the fake busby berkeley, which compared favorably with some of the real busby berkeley of gold diggers)

probably gonna go to the 9:15 "baby face" showing on friday night

ive seen that one plenty, but never Christopher Strong!

Thinking of leaving the cozy homefires of streaming Cale and Criterions to venture out over the frozen wastes in to the Film Forum to see the double feature with the Sturges-scripted "Power and The Glory."

LA: jerry lewis marathon at cinefamily in march, with six of the screenings accompanied by a different hour of 'bonjour mr. lewis'. guess i'll finally *mumbles*seealloftheseforthefirsttime*mumbles*

id have to look up 'bonjour mr. lewis', no idea

Dennis Lim is the new FSLC Director of Cinematheque Programming.

nice

two films into the lewis marathon and yep, i'm a convert (missing 'the errand boy' with tashlin cartoons screening this weekend, tho)

the portions of the documentary they've been showing are pretty great too, lots of rare outtakes and home movie footage

tonight though, 'life and death of colonel blimp', which i fell asleep while watching the first time on TCM home sick
