I've only seen Class or 1984 and Atlantic City from that tax shelter list. Any of the others worth looking for?

I have been advised to see Skip Tracer. I saw The Brood long ago, v disturbing; horror mavens also dig Black Christmas.
The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane is, as Pinkerton writes, "deeply icky."

The description of Taking Shelter sounds amazing:
Breaking out of their imaginary purgatory and into temporal space, a disagreeable crew of aliens invade Canada, subjecting everyday life to the rules of cinema as a strategy for colonial domination.Fragments of 434 Canadian feature films from 1970-89 are folded into this found-footage feature, many of them scandalously rare, and most of them products of the tax shelter era. The strong narrative line both stands on its own and unpacks its subject on two levels: the literal content of the films it repurposes, and the political/industrial context from which they emerged. Merging the innovations of found-footage pioneers like Bruce Conner and Arthur Lipsett with the anarchic pop omnivorousness of YouTube mashup culture, TAKING SHELTER is a groundbreaking experiment in freestanding collage cinema – no voiceover or titling, no non-diagetic commentary, just repurposed image and sound. It jolts the formative years of Canadian feature filmmaking into the present with all the trimmings of the Hollywood productions these films yearned to emulate – it’s funny, thrilling, and affecting.

I saw The Human Surge. Didn't get it at all, but it has one or two incredible moments, so I'm giving it another shot at CPH:DOX. Like, the incredible moments are REALLY amazing.

A friend was recently extolling the virtues of the NYC Alamo Drafthouse. Almost had me convinced. Still - not sure about watching a film while everyone around is chomping away at dinner. Does it smell like a restaurant in there?
― Acid Hose (Capitaine Jay Vee), Friday, 10 March 2017 16:02 (seven years ago) link
Excited for the Leaud. Saw him in a Paris bookstore a couple of years back digging through magazines. I almost fainted like the fanboy I am but something about his demeanor definitely read "Ne me dérangez pas, Amerloc".
― Acid Hose (Capitaine Jay Vee), Friday, 10 March 2017 16:05 (seven years ago) link
Have only been to one AD screening, it didn't smell really, food was *okay* but that whole style of movie watching imho only works when you're watching something kinda low-stakes, like everybody in the theater's just there to have a good time and hang around. This was a screening of 'Zu Warriors,' part of their like Wednesday night weird movies series or sth... Hong Kong children's sci fi adventure from 1980ish. Loose crowd with a lot of LOLs and applause for particularly great scenes/lines. So some beers and fries don't really wreck that IMHO but I would not do it for most movies.

i hear they keep lights on during the movie which immediately disqualifies it for me
― 龜, Friday, 10 March 2017 16:36 (seven years ago) link
Lights are minimal

Yeah I would remember if it was distracting, cause I can get REAL distracted by lights.

Sci-fi series is cool IMO, at least for me since it's got a few things I've always meant to get around to. Though obv. there's no shortage of chances to see The Terminator in this world, but in general this place seems to do a decent balance of room-fillers and slightly chancier offerings? I've still not been but it reminds me a bit of the very well-programmed cinema at the University of Georgia student union when I was there - canny mix of bring-out-the-nostalgia midnight offerings and new arthouse fare.
I can't tell, which Blade Runner is it that they're showing? United Palace is screening the Final Cut the very next day. Having never seen the film (I know, I know) I've been planning on going to that, but is that the version I should see?
