Suffering of Ninko is one of the weirder films I've seen recently.
Someone go see the new Sabu and tell me if it's good.

Aw man, I would have been totally down to see Duel in 35mm! Haven't seen Jurassic Park in a theater since its original run and I'm pretty sure I've never seen Jaws on the big screen (or with an audience). There's not a lot left that I'd really jump out of my seat for... hrm.

also, 1941 is unbearable though 'interesting'

― Frederik B, Tuesday, 20 June 2017 21:55 (six years ago) link
This isn't really NYC-specific, but now that I have a semi-modern smartphone, I'm wondering: is there a really great Android app for just checking what's playing in theaters? Ideally something that aggregates all the arthouse places together with multiplexes, and lets you edit down a list of theaters you give a shit about so you can just take stock of the offerings at a glance? I realize this might sound really demanding of the world but if someone coded that I would pay money to own it, cuz afaict the available offerings are all like Fandango and Google where you're forever scrolling past showings of the new Smurfs movie in New Jersey (''within five miles of your location!'') or whatever and it doesn't even HAVE Quad/Metrograph/whatever.

http://www.screenslate.com/ is the best place to do just that, though it's not an app
― Chocolate-covered gummy bears? Not ruling those lil' guys out. (ulysses), Monday, 26 June 2017 15:58 (six years ago) link
well he wants multiplexes too
i know zip
― Supercreditor (Dr Morbius), Monday, 26 June 2017 16:00 (six years ago) link
I mean I guess I'm okay with missing the multiplexes, since with those I'm usually after a specific current movie that I already know is playing (even though there are occasional weird things - a while back Smokey and the Bandit was playing at several AMCs for some reason, and I wish I'd checked it out). So yeah, Screenslate looks awesome, thanks ulysses! Not having to individually check FF, IFC, MOMI, MOMA, Metrograph, Angelika etc is super helpful.
― ﴿→ ☺ (Doctor Casino), Monday, 26 June 2017 16:17 (six years ago) link
cool; i think they're great. decent writing too!
― Chocolate-covered gummy bears? Not ruling those lil' guys out. (ulysses), Monday, 26 June 2017 18:00 (six years ago) link
Oh wait except it doesn't have a bunch of those! Weird. Well I'll still keep it bookmarked on my phone cause it DOES cut down on searching a bit. But next time I'm a millionaire with nothing better to do I'm going to hire an app developer to custom-build my dream NYC movie fan hoonja-doonja.

Have fond memories of The Hot Rock. Wonder how it holds up.

Wonder how you will like Cops and Robbers. At the time it seemed to me like a lesser Hot Rock, but who knows.

Soon at MoMA, "Future Imperfect: The Uncanny in Science Fiction" has some rarely screened stuff, like the Borges-written Invasión, along with more familiar and recent titles:

true but i dig goin to the movies. just got back from Midnight Cowboy, on (sometimes rather battered) 35mm, with a pretty good-size crowd, and i do think i received the film differently than i would have otherwise.
― ﴿→ ☺ (Doctor Casino), Thursday, 6 July 2017 00:12 (six years ago) link
surprised you haven't seen The Wiz though! iirc it's pretty flawed but worth it for the design work and (some of) the songs by themselves. and yeah some cool use of rather offbeat new york locations in places.
― ﴿→ ☺ (Doctor Casino), Thursday, 6 July 2017 00:13 (six years ago) link
yeah, but for the unseen i listed, i can live with DVDs. (Except I will probably go to They Might Be Giants.) I've seen Midnight Cowboy projected, probably more than once.
I was in high school when The Wiz came out and it got horrible reviews.
― Supercreditor (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 6 July 2017 00:35 (six years ago) link
I always feel a tinge of loyalty to the people I went to high school with, for whom it was a beloved childhood classic watched many times over, and hailed with delight when it was wheeled into the classroom as study-hall filler at the end of the year or after the PSATs or whatever the occasion was for devoting school time to a "fun" movie. Not having grown up with it I've never been able to quite love it, but I do think there's some neat stuff to look at. Feels like it'd be the most fun with a big audience - it crops up as an outdoor summer movie pretty often and I think that makes sense, but it's also a cool choice in this series.
