Morbs, how soon in advance should I be reserving spaces for the Tsai retro

I don't know -- I assume they are going to be in the big room? or is the Mad Men sidebar still going to be running?

Really, the acclaimed Tsai films haven't been that hard to see, so i don't know if they'd fill the main theater.

Ty - first time member

actually they had stand-alone Tsai schedules there yesterday, so i assume they're in the big theater.

BAM retro for "Kubrick's producer" and occasional director himself James B Harris (now 86; he'll be there). Anyone seen Some Call It Loving?

we just announced our cinema festival lineup for the summer. do you ever come to the festival?

http://www.bam.org/programs/2015/bamcinemafest

lotsa cool stuff there, i like sean baker a lot & its amazing & delightful theres a uncle kent sequel

cool, i don't really know much about movies but want to go

the opening night party will be at the masonic temple right across the street from my house!

next Monday night at IFC Center, Paul Schrader and that Damn Helen Mirren in attendance for a 35mm screening of The Comfort of Strangers:

http://www.ifccenter.com/films/the-comfort-of-strangers/

that's my birthday! good birthday movie?

if you like sadistic house parties, i think? (haven't seen it, read the book)

Comfort of Strangers didn't seem all that special at the time - the Venetian setting and air of menace couldn't help but bring to mind Don't Look Now, to which it is markedly inferior - but I wouldn't be surprised if it's actually aged quite well. Pinter screenplay, iirc.

interesting. i'm kind of fascinated and want to go. might be a funny way to spend a bday.

last full day of Pather Panchali at FF (scattered screenings through remaining 3 weeks of the Apu series)

think i'm going to see Dior and I at Film Forum tomorrow night instead, followed by dessert and a martini

Nick Pinkerton on the current Anthology series of that writer (?) Philip Yordan (need to hit that Ryan-Ives western):
