i'm walking distance from Nitehawk Prospect, a half hour from BAM, and at Lincoln Center often so lots of options.

Was wondering. Think they did they same with Blonde or Marilyn or whatever it’s called.

Hmm. Since they held it over I think I can just use MUBI GO to see it again.

JRB, we should probably connect as mubi buddies

Sure. Can we do that? Maybe we actually passed by criss-cross this evening, we’ve never met in person.

By which I meant is that a thing within MUBI. In any case, I can contact you through social media.
― Capital Radio Sweetheart (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 28 October 2022 06:38 (one year ago) link
yeah, hit me up and let's see something! i dunno about the next week's film, i'm dubious after the times review.
― “Cheeky cheeky!” she trills, nearly demolishing a roadside post (forksclovetofu), Friday, 28 October 2022 12:58 (one year ago) link
Okay, sure. I might go to see this one just for the foreign language angle.

Some of the cast was also in Tehran Taboo, which I still need to watch.

Similar sort of expat film about Iranian demimonde or whatever you want to call it.

I saw this last night. It's an interesting neonoir, but I continue to wish that most 2+-hour movies be taken out of their directors' hands and be edited down to 90 minutes. And I remain unconvinced that Mubi US is worth the subscription.

Think I mentioned on the Park Chan-Wook thread that I didn’t mind the length upon second viewing, which is saying something.

This week’s offering, Holy Spider, is not for everyone. At first blush it may seem like a grisly true crime fictionalization masquerading as social commentary, but after pondering it for a few days maybe I liked it after all and maybe it did add to that small body of films that take place in Iran but are made outside of Iran by expats and can show things that cannot be filmed in country.

Is that the one where the actress, upon winning at Cannes, delivered a 17-minute speech?
― Eric H., Wednesday, 2 November 2022 18:40 (one year ago) link
Dunno but I will agree that it's quite a good film that lingers in the memory; caught a screening at the local Alamo the other week.
― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 2 November 2022 19:33 (one year ago) link
Can't find the acceptance speech, did find a press conference.

Le Bao's Taste is very strange. It has arresting images but is inscrutable. There is almost no dialogue or explanation of events. It is a step further removed from Pedro Costa in that it shows an oppressed environment but it doesn't offer any context

So next week’s NYC GO offering is MEET ME IN THE BATHROOM? Don’t know how I feel about that. Also just a notice that WIFE OF A SPY is leaving soon but no sign of when.
― Me and the Major on the Moon (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 10 November 2022 02:25 (one year ago) link
Hmm.. Don't see WIFE OF A SPY here, which is usually the best way to see what's leaving. https://mubi.com/specials/leaving-soon

MUBI hype injection into the James Redd cranial pleasuredome almost as intense with this as with DECISION TO LEAVE.

I feel exactly the same although I may go see the first thing anyway just because, just because…because I still have a krush0r on Karen O from the time I saw her hanging around MoMA downstairs when Spike Jonze interviewed Maurice Sendak? Or was it the other way around? I mean interview-wise.

Hmm, I got an alert about THE KINGDOM but I guess I still have to wait a few hours.
Ran over to see Netflix’s WHITE NOISE at the Angelika at the last minute yesterday, sorry forks for not letting you know.

I hadn't read anything in advance. I didn't really even know who was in it except for the couple. When I blinked and figured out who was playing the nun I almost laughed.

Likely gonna see Nanny on Tuesday night at IFC at an open captioned screening as that's what my schedule allows. "Horror-version of Sembene's Black Girl" is of interest to me.

With MUBI GO? Seems like not too many showings available.
― Soda Stereo Total (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 4 December 2022 22:22 (one year ago) link
Yeah. I wanted to go Monday but my MUBI buddy wasn't available so we pushed to the subtitles. Looks like IFC is just running this for awards season qualification which is a surprise given the substantial hype surrounding it.

ended up paying for this again because I fancied a Chan-Wook weekend. I re-watched Thirst which I've always liked (it seemed far funnier in parts than I noticed the first time) and watched Joint Security Area which is all over the place but basically v good.

Had a “your MUBI retrospective 2022” email, which informs me that I watched 14 films in 2022 - placing which me in the top 21% of MUBI users. I wonder how much use the average subscriber makes of it.
