All Purpose NYC ILX Film Snob Thread

inneresting.

Keith Baxter, who plays the wily Prince Hal in Orson Welles’ Chimes at Midnight, will introduce the 7:30 screening on Wednesday at Film Forum.

Someone please go see Benjamin Naishtat's El Movimento tonight at Film Society of Lincoln Center, so that you can tell me if it's good. His History of Violence was very promising.

The Goldbug Variations is pretty fun as well.

Also, in that series, The Club is very very good, and I really want to hear if Ixcanul is good!

can't do tonight. figure Larrain and Ripstein will be playing soon.

seeing The Treasure on Saturday and it's fairly ILX unsearchable... anybody seen it already?

Yup. I'm a huge fan of Porumbiu and I really liked it. Funny, droll, beautiful, one if the best endings of the year. I also love thinking about it, it's subtly smart.

cool! i'm gonna try to double feature that with (of all things) the theatrical re-release of studio ghibli's "Only Yesterday"

i'm happy that movie finally came over. saw a fansub VHS in my teens, was charmed.

it's a US debut, yes

caught 'doomed love' on a fairly beat-up 16mm print last night in LA, would like to see the rest of these somehow

that's a pretty awesome series title

i saw Doomed Love about 5 years ago, which means of course i remember nothing.

j. rosenbaum's review from 1981: http://www.jonathanrosenbaum.net/1981/06/the-masterpiece-you-missed-doomed-love/

it's got a very funny scene set in a convent. i really only got restless in the half-hour before the intermission due to hunger (i smuggled in a burrito)

Joe, please come and comment on Preston Sturges: The PurPOLL one, with the pluuuuuuuuuuuumes at the hips.

(other news orgs seem to have been fooled into suggesting that the old legit/vaudeville theater of the same name was in this building, which opened in '69)

Self Styled Siren: "Real estate killed the Ziegfeld's audience." Amen amen amen.

Film Forum is open today. Showing Fargo, of course.

Ziegfield article otm

Damn I'll be in France of all places when the Eustache retrospective is going on. I shouldn't complain but I am a big fan so ... dommage.

based on the first 20 minutes of Mother and the Whore, i'd rather be in France.

Wish you'd get past your boredom/indifference, Morbs, and watch the thing. It's his best and the praise is well deserved.

someday

a last visit to the Ziegfeld

The first movie to play in this theater, back in 1969, was Marooned, a space-age thriller....

We hear Thursday may be the last day.

http://vanishingnewyork.blogspot.com/2016/01/the-ziegfeld.html

My dad most definitely took me to see Marooned in Manhattan in '69, so I have to think it was here.

LA: cinefamily's getting its own version of the indie '80s series

http://www.fiaf.org/events/winter2016/2016-03-cinesalon.shtml

And while I'm here - let me point out the silliness of including the O in your "MOMI" (it was AMMI, but I guess is Un-American now?) but not "FSLC" (I go with the filmlinc webmanteau, which is at least pronounceable). Even MoMA drops the case, mami.

p horrendous program cept for V Suicides

also, eat shit

I really liked Girlhood, have a lot of time for Drive (soz Morbs). Eden was my cinematic disappointment of 2015.

Also good job on not screening Oblivion. Points off for no Electroma.
