All Purpose NYC ILX Film Snob Thread

Sometimes I regret living here; too much, too much...

Youngest MoMA audience I've ever seen last night for Night of the Living Dead, maybe 35-40. And the 8pm screening looked younger still.

I'm pretty sure I've never seen Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors (BAM for the next week).

But you probably DID see the Madonna video that ripped it off.

If it was after '86, don't bet on it.

7pm Germi tnite? (i won't be online, off today)

Like to, but no can do.

I have tickets for the MOMI Todd Haynes thing that night, but David Gatten is programming an evening of films about water (including JJ Murphy's Sky Blue Water Light Sign) at the WORK Gallery in Red Hook on November 10th.

i'm not seeing any movies until after the GREs

Paradjanov! I've seen that, it was about 10 years ago though.. gorgeous. The Madonna video that ripped off scenes was Bedtime Story.. I remember talking to some Armenian girls when on study abroad & mentioning this.. they were absolutely mortified..

So you gave up on ILF too, huh?

who, me? (I'm thinking this is gonna be mostly for local screenings) I didn't promise to start posting on ILF more, like SOME PEOPLE.

Tonight Paradjanov (esp if I decide not to vote), maybe tom'w Terror's Advocate, Thurs another Germi? all tentative.

I think he was talking about me. Actually I officially gave up around here. but I've started some threads over there since then, like my Germi thread, and these two:
TS Carl Dreyer vs. Victor Erice
I Don't Think He'd Have Given It To Me If I Had Hair Like EXCELSIOR Or Little Legs Like An Alligator

Can anybody figure out where the hell the link is to get tix for the FF's Evening with Norman Lloyd on Nov 26?

http://www.filmforum.org/films/norman.html

I think you can only buy 7 days in advance.

(unless it's I'm Not There)

even with Norman Lloyd cultists champing at the bit?

Maybe you can pull some strings with Bruc3 G0ldstein?

Actually I officially gave up around here.

B-b-but that was the only thread there that had any life in it. Well, that and the rockism one.

The ILF excelsior thread, however, is classsic as is.

Indeed.

B-b-but that was the only thread there that had any life in it. Well, that and the rockism one.
I can't find the thread where I stopped posting in parentheses and Morbius accused me of some Weekend At Bernie's behavior.

Memories.

'S'all I got, and the few that remain are fading fast.

I got ticket to 9:30 Germi tomorrow, Thursday, which I intend to use, barring the not unlikely work, home or health emergency.

ah, 5:30 for me.

Anyone seen any Marc Recha?

I'll take that as a no.

More Brakhage at Antholgy Sunday (Pittsburgh Trilogy)

There's a big Max Ophuls retro coming to BAM at month's end; don't see anything on their site, but here:

A friend of mine is trying to get me to go see Raiders of the Lost Ark: The Adaptation at The Anthology tomorrow or over the weekend. Looks like an interesting curiosity, but I dunno.

UGH @ ophuls competing w/ sembene!!

the brief clip i watched of the adaptation looked awesome. i suggest you get on line REEEEEAL early if you end up seeing it, tho

in my GRE-prompted cinema ban i didn't realize i missed ALL of the germis (except for divorce, italian style which i've already seen)

I am suspicious of Raiders Adaptation. For one, I haven't watched ROTLA 20x like everyone else has, apparently.

Also, Sembene v Ophuls v Pasolini.

http://www.filmlinc.com/wrt/onsale/pasolini/program.html

I would focus on the otherwise unavailable OS & MO.

Jiri Menzel is at BAM tonight w/ his latest, but I know nothing about it.

I'm suspicious too, but I may have to go out of a social obligation.

the ophuls stuff is up on the website now, btw

Why is Summer With Monika in the Times today? New print?

yes. haven't seen it in eons.

Anyone seen/seeing the Albert Ayler doc at AFA?

I was sposta review it. They sent me a European DVD.

If anyone has MIX tips, speak:

http://www.mixnyc.org/index.html

Maybe I'd go to the 11pm Friday shorts, if I'm up.

after today, Divorce—Italian Style is only playing 9:20 pm at FF.

Get your Norman Lloyd tickets yet?

no, but I see they're available.

Yes, that's what I was trying to tell you.

o i c

Divorce was cute. Why anyone thinks it's GREAT, I'm not sure.

Saw it years ago, didn't make much of an impression. Wasn't he Oscar nominated?

yes, it got several; Germi too?

I hv my N Lloyd ticket.

Hoberman on Sembene (and Ophuls, briefly):

http://www.villagevoice.com/film/0748,hoberman,78462,20.html

If I go to see Salo, should I bring someone to hold my hand?

http://www.filmlinc.com/wrt/onsale/pasolini/program.html

I would recommend any NY snob to see Letter from an Unknown Woman on its last night @BAM tonight; it fulfilled all of my expecs.

I would recommend any NY snob EVERYONE ON THE PLANET to see Letter from an Unknown Woman

fixed

Salò makes an even more problematic date movie than Jeanne Dielman!

Ophuls and Sembene have taken over my December.

Sorry, that was coming from a place of camaraderie, but feel to FP me if you must.

tee's long since worn out but i likely will be at this during that
https://www.ifccenter.com/films/midnight-run/

just checked my schedule and it's a busy calendar block... i think i'm out every night on that run already!

How did I miss this thread?

Anybody catch the Béla Tarr films screening at Lincoln Center?

Finally saw The Mother and the Whore all the way through. Amazing. It feels like the last and best new wave film.

Josefa otm. But came to post that I am intrigued by Winter Kills at the Film Forum.

It's not bad.

But not as good as you might be led to think it is

Stoked to get tickets for the Oct 9 showing of Wiseman's Menus-Plaisirs les Troisgros at NYFF

^Annette Insdorf will introduce THE SARAGOSSA MANUSCRIPT this evening

Still holds up

And the intro was entertaining and useful

Powell Pressburger at MoMA with some intros by Thelma (and Marty too, I think):
https://www.moma.org/calendar/film/5707

Thelma was also be at the Film Forum with Kent Jones to discuss THE SMALL BLACK ROOM: https://filmforum.org/film/the-small-back-room

Melville retro on at the Film Forum this week.

Recommended! Seems like a miniature do-over of their 2017 retrospective, when I had the time and gusto to see probably five or six of his for the first time.

Been going to a lot of different series this spring and summer but so far not the 70mm films at MoMI, which is almost over, but may go to 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY this weekend.

Every year, I get big plans for the MOMI 70mm series. If it were just a little easier to get there from where we live, I'd clean up. So many great-looking things! Paris Theater has started their own version, which kicks off next week...

Meanwhile at FF: Blaxploitation series, soon to be followed by Spielberg retrospective!

It’s easy for me to get there, just not easy for me to remember to go to MoMI. Last time I went was for Terence Davies’s hard-to-see HOUSE OF MIRTH, thanks to a reminder on this borad.

Jordan Belson abstracts at e-flux on March 25. If I was in NYC I'd totally be there

Debating whether to go to Cat People tonight.

It was good!

About to watch It Happened Here.

Wondering if I have the Sitzfleisch for Napoleon.

Pushing some kind of envelope now at the Abbott and Costello horror movie thing at MoMI.

Great to see Pandora's Box in a theater. And the Daniel Kehlmann introduction was excellent.

New cashier at the FF is a big Kevin Brownlow fan.

And now they have a new cookie named after on ILX0r: kitchen sinker.

Anyway, went back to the final day of Brownlow for an Abel Gance doc and Winstanley.

Wonder if I should go to MoMI tonight to see either Tarantula in the small theater or Carrie in the big theater.

Saw the Squid and the Whale last night at BAM with Baumbach, Daniels and Eisenberg there for a post-film Q&A. Holds up well, great with an audience. Wasn't aware that Daniels' character was based on Baumbach's father, to the extent that Daniels wore his clothing during the shoot. Daniels shared a story of meeting him that aligned very much with the the depiction in the film. Eisenberg went from looking angry to be in the room to dourly funny and back a few times.

Thinking about going to see The Joyless Street at MoMA this coming week.

Anyone know this noir playing at BAM tonight, _The Locket_, with Laraine Day and Robert Mitchum?

Anyway have a screening today at MoMI but got confused and thought it was at one instead of four so am here three hours early. First time for everything

Anyway all's well that ends well, screening and Q&A were good and I ran into a friend there.

That was A Little Prayer

Thinking about going to see _The Joyless Street_ at MoMA this coming week.

Bruce Conner's Three Screen Ray is playing at the Paula Cooper Gallery on W 21st. I haven't seen it but I hope someone here does
https://www.paulacoopergallery.com/exhibitions/bruce-conner6

Still need to see that

Came to say I just saw Un Poeta at IFC.

And now I just walked over to see Three Screen Ray
