Burt Lancaster at FF (my #1 unmissable is the rarely screened Frankenheimer The Train, the best of their collaborations imho)

http://filmforum.org/series/burt-lancaster

been looking forward to catching a few in this one - i have, somewhat astonishingly, never seen a single film in which burt lancaster appears. atlantic city and sweet smell of success have been on my list for ages, but i'm also hoping to find time to just pick up some random roll-the-dice picks here, especially with the 2-for-1s.

great Rip Torn vehicle at Spectacle

http://www.spectacletheater.com/payday/

^ Went to see this tonight. With no pre-announcement or explanation, instead of the film everyone paid to see they showed some fake trailers followed by a nearly hour-long European stop-motion animation film. The lady at the box office who was the sole staff member on duty - also the person who pressed the buttons on the computer to "project" the film - said, "So sorry! This is what the distributor sent us." She could not even guarantee me that Payday would actually show up for screening later in the month.

It was my first time there, so seriously wtf is up with this place?

jeez sorry. have only been there twice myself, never had a problem. they didn't give refunds?

They did, though I was perplexed that some people didn't accept theirs. I certainly took my $5 back.

spectacle rules; i'm sorry that happened!

Is it that one lady always running it?

Wow! Netflix is apparently saving — at least temporarily — New York's historic Paris Theatre, for showings of MARRIAGE STORY. If they actually acquire and reopen the place, they will generate a *lot* of goodwill in New York film circles.

It would be a smart move, yes. it's a lovely theater but their curation has been mostly uninteresting since at least the turn of the century.
