srsly, I would like to know as I have never met these people and I feel they might be mythical.

OMG, if you have never met them, then they must not exist! You must tell the people! Alternatively, you could go to a theater showing a Henry Jaglom film and sort of prowl around near the entrance, surreptitiously-like, and watch if any money changes hands. Then... pounce!

I am sure you can get to the bottom of this. Oh, I am very sure indeed. Report back here when you do.

defensive, much? (the question was actually serious, in a sociological way)

I paid money to see the 1997 Henry Jaglom movie DEJA VU at a cinema on Shaftesbury Avenue in London, England. I went w/ some friends. We all enjoyed it. I have spent my money on far worse things aesthetically/morally.

Hope this helps w/ yr fascinating sociological survey.

I went to one once, but I thought I was going to see a film, also titled in french, called MENAGE A'TROIS? OUI by Henry Jagoff.

Wrong theatre.

ha, well ward's mostly polite response kinda points to my hunch that the euro market is where jaglom makes enough box office to keep the career going. sorta a minor league woody allen thing. i know many "cineastes" (lol) who absolutely despise the man and his work, and of course the multiplex crowd ain't supporting him, so i was curious about the demographics. i noticed he has a new one coming out, and that got me thinking about the man. thanks for being so precious, aimless.

Er. In defense of what?

Until I saw this thread I did not even know that Henry Jaglom existed, let alone that he made films. Even now, for all I know his films are about windsurfing. Or albinos. Or giraffes. It merely seemed to me that supposing his patrons to be mythical, based simply on your never having met one, was rather solipsistic.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HEARTFELT RESPONSE. YES, I ACTUALLY THOUGHT THEY WERE MYTHICAL, LIKE DRAGONS AND CENTAURS. ALSO, THANKS FOR RESPONDING TO THREADS THAT YOU KNOW ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT.

You are welcome. I would like to point out that, although I actually came to this thread, I paid no money to participate. That's just the kind of person I am.

My friend went to see the new one (Judd Nelson is in it) and walked out early.

I wonder if gershy ever saw his Nicholson-Welles debut?
