I'd advise you to get your Hitchcock silents tix now if you haven't, given Kehr's NYT piece today. (I'm going to four.)
Jackie Chan today thru Thurs at Linc Ctr.
Bigscreen epics at BAM Harvey in July. Because I haven't seen it in the longest time, tempted by Doctor Zhivago.

Sorry. I finally started watching stuff on Mubi when they went on the 30 day schedule which got me back in the habit.

it's half laziness (i have a netflix and a hulu acct at home) and half living in a neighborhood where most theatres are about an hour (or more) away from me transit-wise

Wish I had gone to more of this retro, will be missing Allan Dwan when this is all over. A few films seem to be on youtube in some form: The Iron Mask and Chancds, both with Douglas Fairbanks, both with sound, Calendar Girl, a musical from 1947, and Gorilla- the Ritz Brothers meet Bela Lugosi. Streaming Netflix also has The Iron Mask, along with The River's Edge, Driftwood, Brewster's Millions and Heidi.

well, none of this weekend's films are sposed to be the cream... missed The Woman They Almost Lynched.
― playwright Greg Marlowe, secretly in love with Mary (Dr Morbius), Sunday, 7 July 2013 16:47 (ten years ago) link
Don't know from cream, was really happy with what I saw and each one of those films turns out to have a reasonable reputation and respectable defenders, just wish I had seen more of the silents, those that can be seen.

Think you are being too harsh. Sands of Iwo Jima was one of his biggest budgets and biggest successes. And on those last ten films he made for Benedict Bogeaus he kept up the quality by pretty much always using John Alton as DP and Van Nest Polgase as art director, the latter being persona non grata at RKO proper because of his drinking problem.
See that John Alton has a credit on An American in Paris, for photographing the ballet. Guy got around.

Others on youtube: Silver Lode, Cattle Queen of Montana. I misspelled Chances up above.

Another weird credit I just noticed, Pierre Etaix in Pickpocket.

I think Dwan's rising profile means we'll be seeing more revivals.
― playwright Greg Marlowe, secretly in love with Mary (Dr Morbius), Monday, 8 July 2013 04:13 (ten years ago) link
Probably. Have you checked out that new biography? The guy wants an arm and a leg, but looks like it might be worth it, a history of cinema through the career of one guy who was there for pretty much all of it.

Just heard an express 7 rocket by overhead and thought there must be a Mets game running late and they were going to pick up spectators but no.

yes.

It was his friend, the voice of Rocky the Squirrel, her name escapes me right now, said they did a reading at the Museum of Television and Radio maybe, and when somebody asked about the worn-out piece of clothing he said, in that inimitable voice, "That's my college sweater!", right?
― Orpheus in Hull (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 17 July 2013 17:54 (ten years ago) link
yes, cept it happened in the Bullwinkle studio and she told the story at MT&R when he was long dead.

Well the 3 Sunday silents don't appear to be otherwise "available," as Soto would say, so I guess I'm going.

Redd, they're all worth watching; HH probably shows the most versatility in Fazil, a potboiler "mixed-race" romantic melodrama.
Arthur Lake (the future Dagwood in those Blondie B pictures) is very funny as a femalephobic frat boy in The Cradle Snatchers, which is incomplete in its salvaged form. Also, F Pangborn as a jealous husband.
Fig Leaves is cute, as is George O'Brien's chest. It's on YouTube, p crappy quality.
