I saw The Plea in the Georgian MoMA series yesterday and it was phenomenal (of course, not screening again). A City of Sadness was completely full in Astoria, i had to sit on a plastic portable chair.

FSLC just moved their sole screening of Mankiewicz's The Honey Pot tonight up one hour from 6:30 to 5:30, which means I can't go, need to get a refund, and will never ever see it.
― this horrible, rotten slog to rigor mortis (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 14 October 2014 11:20 (nine years ago) link
^and they just reversed it to 6:30, and pushed back the film after. Someone figured out that a few ppl who go to FSLC work for a living.

i remember when this was just a kickstarter never expected it to be this big, glad it's getting good press

it's pretty good? both my friend and i were kinda sad it didn't go a little harder and maybe not make the characters so 2-D but I thought it was fairly aggressive and funny. Dude has a major hard-on for Spike for sure but there was a lot less misogyny than in Spike's films... plus the animus of John Hughes, I thought. It also smelled strongly of first film with a lot of flashy camera tricks: freeze frame moments of blackface, a vertigo zoom for no real reason, somewhat corny interstitial graphics. But good acting! Generally good writing! Definitely a step up from any mainstream comedy about race that I've seen lately but maybe not so drastically different from what shows up on How To Get Away With Murder and i dunno if that's a question of mass culture shift or just the impact of rimes' arrowhead or what exactly.anyway, yeah, worth a watch.

That Migrating Forms thing looks interesting. Heinz Emigholz was a guest at the film festival I worked at last spring, and we showed The Airstrip. But because we always knew we would show the new one, we didn't get it on screener, and I couldn't be there at the showing, so I haven't seen it. But he is interesting, I would go and see what he has done.
