Hey guys you should go to this amazing programme:
http://www.filmlinc.com/wrt/onsale/views.html#11
A couple of my friends have films in there and everything they are showing (that I have seen) is GREAT
― Chip Pan Buddha (admrl), Friday, 9 July 2010 22:14 (thirteen years ago) link
That's a seriously great program. Injury to One (Morbs, have you seen this?), Rehearsals For Retirement, and the Kevin Everson films in particular.
Who are your friends, Adam?
― C0L1N B..., Friday, 9 July 2010 23:24 (thirteen years ago) link
Um...they're in programs four and five =)
Bah, I just need to move to NYC like everybody else don't I? Programming out here is so laaame sometimes
― Chip Pan Buddha (admrl), Saturday, 10 July 2010 01:27 (thirteen years ago) link
What is Rehearsals For Retirement? Is that the Machinima one?
― Chip Pan Buddha (admrl), Saturday, 10 July 2010 01:32 (thirteen years ago) link
The Summer schedule at Doc looks great. Will probably make it out for the Borzage.

Yeah, it's one of Phil Solomon's Grand Theft Auto tributes to Mark LaPore. It's really pretty beautiful and strange. Not as gimmicky as it sounds.
You're in LA, right? It seems like you guys get all sorts of great stuff that rarely plays NY. It's hard to complain given the alternatives, but NY experimental/avant-garde programming is too insular and repetitive. Lincoln Center is particularly bad in this regard -- check the listings for recent Views From the Avant-Garde programs. It's the same 4 or 5 filmmakers every year.
― C0L1N B..., Saturday, 10 July 2010 02:01 (thirteen years ago) link
Yes I'm in LA. I think that most of these programs always show the same filmmakers. And SOME of the places that show interesting films here are certainly VERY good. I should have said that
― Chip Pan Buddha (admrl), Saturday, 10 July 2010 03:39 (thirteen years ago) link
No doubt there are great venues here too. Just a little frustrating that it's easier to see D@vid G@tt3n films than like older James Benning stuff or Rose Lowder.

Two of my v talented friends have screenings at Rooftop this month:THE TIGHTROPE is a v beautiful film about a crumbling Mexican circus, and it plays TONIGHT (Saturday) (http://www.rooftopfilms.com/2010/films/85-the-tightrope).GREETINGS FROM THE WOODS is a v intriguing, v well-crafted observational documentary about the director's hometown (http://www.rooftopfilms.com/2010/films/107-greetings-from-the-woods). Sat July 24. Special ILX appeal: Mikel has made music videos for FEVER RAY!
I also want to see THE APE, another Swedish film that plays the day before GREETINGS

No, I haven't see any of that experimental stuff.
Also, I renewed my Film Society of Linc Ctr membership a MONTH ago and they STILL haven't sent me a new card, OR responded to my email. NEW MANAGEMENT on the ball!

He's right, you should see Injury to One, it is good.

Two early, little-seen Mann noirs at FF today. von Stroheim!
― kind of shrill and very self-righteous (Dr Morbius), Monday, 12 July 2010 17:19 (thirteen years ago) link
How are they? I've seen T-Men and thought it was good, but was under the impression that he was more or less a "workman" director who was only good with the right photographer, but icbw.

These were both early B pictures that he brought plenty to (and they needed all they could get). I like several of the Stewart westerns, Fall of the Roman Empire (Gladiator 1.0) and especially The Furies.

Posted on the Reade b.o. window yeterday: In the Russell series, the prints of Mahler and one other (Music Lovers, maybe?) have faded to red.
Selfish pig buying tix for seemingly the entire series, it seemed, around 2pm took 20 MINUTES to make his purchase, while J4ck the Cinemani4c, who was in front of me, and I boiled. I wanted his liver.

Enjoyed seeing new print of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes on the big screen at FF last night, although did not enjoy waiting to get into the theater while the 3D setup was being tested for today.

Went to one of these today. Multiple cinemaniacs in the audience and a giant crowd of people outside with tight, tight security and Beatlemania screaming for some kind of Jonas Brothers event.

Also just noticed that Historias extraordinarias is at Latinbeat: http://www.filmlinc.org/wrt/onsale/latinbeat/extraordinarystorieshisto.html . There are way too many good films this month.

I remember seeing Sontag at some of those back in the day, when she had short hair growing back after the chemo. She said she loved her some long German films, her favorite being Heimat.
