and Don Luis at BAM

If you liked This Is Not A Film run over to the FF to see Torn Curtain Closed Curtain

I'll be in nyc from the 15th to the 23rd of august. Are there any good series in that timeframe, and where do I check it?

MoMA has World War I-themed films, mostly contemporaneous.

Chris Marker at BAM

(the only wide-net page I know of is ScreenSlate, but never more than the next 3-4 days up there)

Thanks! Chris Marker sounds especially great, especially Sans Soleil on 35mm.

I consider this to be a tough Saturday afternoon choice

went to the Mary Pickford, which was quite stimulating as non-legendary silent drama goes.

as mentioned above, MoMA doing the Great War for 7 weeks:

Fuck yeah

nu prints of all of those wd be nice

i haven't seen any hou hsiao-hsien; should prob remedy that

dang @ that retro. even just its sidebars.

Man, you guys are lucky. Puppetmaster is my favorite, but have never seen an hhh on the big screen.

never occurred to me but: yeah me neither. of everything i've seen puppetmaster felt like it was suffering the most from home viewing. would so love a season. i think about café lumiere maybe most days.

Puppetmaster is my favorite...

to nap to.

planning to see the restored digital Zulu tonight @ Reade

Schedule is up

Friend of mine knows the guy who organized it, says it was incredibly hard getting a 35mm print of Puppetmaster so that should be pretty high on everybody's priorities

as i said on the hhh thread, i might double feature cute girl and puppetmaster next saturday, ironman style. haven't seen either and don't know anything abt cute girl really except that it seems pretty rare--can't even find it on k4r4garga.

having recently moved to nyc the prospect of seeing actual prints of repertory films (instead of burned dvds haphazardly projected onto the walls of art spaces) is, like, giddying. so hype.

What's the word on Fedora?

i saw it about 20 years ago and liked it.

Should I be upset that I am going to miss Flowers of Shanghai due to work?

Will probably check out Puppetmaster.

Flowers is great, but you should be able to find a DVD of that.

I don't think I can pull the trigger on Puppetmaster a third time, it let me cold twice.

Restored original silent Chicago (co-directed by deMille), Monday night only

http://filmforum.org/film/chicago-film-page

Final day for Fedora at the Film Forum.

I resaw last night -- it could be BW's best post-Apartment film inho (tho I might go with Kiss Me, Stupid).

Pretty much ruined by the FF's condescending guffawers, of course. Fucking shits.

anybody see Starred Up? Rave reviews yet ending at both FSLC and IFC today, very strange.

aw, i wish i had known that; was wanting to see shortly.

it's on amazon VOD which probably takes some wind out of theatrical sails

still, given that the actor is the star of the big year-end Jolie movie.

Anthology's Ed Wood retro includes some of the later sexytime movies:

Goddammit I keep missing every 35mm screening of The Cobweb, like tonight when I have baseball tix. Fortunately I know where to get a DVD.

Rudolph Grey presents Ed Wood miscellanea tonight at Anthology, 7:30

bird people is worth seeing; feels like there's an amazing film in there somewhere but the pacing is overly fatuous and there are numerous tactical errors... the use of Bowie and a painfully long skype are particular culprits. But the bird's eye (and bird tracking) footage is amazing and the new-yorkeresque storyline are fascinating when they're not abused.

has anyone discovered Georgian cinema, previously?

IFC Center tribute to Gordon Willis at 8 tonight with 35mm print of The Purple Rose of Cairo.

Anyone seen Memphis or Stop the Pounding Heart?

zero theorem is sadly sort of rote gilliam, never boring but sophomoric in its philosophy and politics

Nick Cave movie held over at FF btw

http://filmforum.org/film/20000-days-on-earth-film-page

Stephen Chow movies at BAM coming soon

Journey to the West on Oct. 12; i may try to catch at least that.
