Brad Pitt Has Your Secret Shit: Rolling DC

Blue (and Orange line, come to think of it) will not be running between Rosslyn and Farragut West that weekend.

That is important information to consider when booking hotels etc.

I think I can survive this trip on the Green and Red.

Too much to do in 2 days, or I might go to see Bobcat Goldthwait in Arlington.

poor terps

they kept it close

horseshoes

hand grenades

just passed Silver Springs, may make Portait Gallery by 4

Portrait gallery is open until 7, I think

just wanting to register my disappointment with the AFI Silver Spring. not very much interesting going on there on the weekends this month.

have you guys made it out to west end cinema? i kinda love it.

crimeny HOOS, I had never even heard of it. They're playing Alamar!

oh suck a duck it's near Foggy Bottom. awful weekend for that.

oh it is isn't it. damn. is it playing through next week?q

it's playing until Thursday. no information on what's happening after that.

of course, i've just noticed that it is streaming on Netflix so :/.

ha a few weeks ago they were showing breathless and i was trying to get my friend to join me, and he was all 'dude we can just stream it at my house' and i was like >_<

i was pretty impressed with the place, it actually feels like a little art house, like maybe 30 chairs in each little screening room, and i got the impression the guy warmly welcoming/goodbying the saturday night crowd was the owner.

we have a little partnership with the dude who runs it - he does an 'opera in cinema' series. i had to work a thing there once but i've never actually seen a film there yet. the seats looked comfy though!

HOOS, if he was tall and baldish, that was the owner. he used to show films at atlas but then he bought/leased this space and renovated it last fall i think? the staff are all really nice, too!

sounds cool. have you been to the cinema in the Goethe Institute? It's a good little place.

I was just considering the screening of Das Rheingold at the West End Cinema but then realised I have to work. ;_;

yeah that was the guy!

we should do a movie meetup out there one of these days imo xp

the whole pentagoon crew

:D

anyone know what went down near U street/15thish area last night? was taking lil sis home and had to detour because the intersection was so blocked w/ flashy lighted vehicles.

in fact, all night, we were passed by police and fire trucks speedily going places. it was almost end timesy at one point.

how disconerting

wait a minute

just passed Silver Springs, may make Portait Gallery by 4

i am guessing he is on a wifi bus!

Usta be a nice indie-film joint (Circles?) in A-M about ten years ago, I saw The Cockettes there.

Staying across from Samuel Gompers Park, who knew? Headed to NPG.

SKIFFLEBILLY NIGHT

yer on yr own, pair of Lonnie Donegans

fuck yeah! way more into this than the flaming lips wannabes i was gonna go see at the black cat tonight. thx dude!!!!

I think I saw the Fleabops once, and I like the Quarry House. How was it last night?

Hoos, did you get Pogues/Titus tickets? $55 bucks or more, right?

Flea Bops were great! Would see again, and the bar was pretty rad too. Jumpin place.

I didn't get the tickets yet, and with my unexpected drunk in public adventure I think that's where those funds are gonna go instead. :/

Re: lack of good films this month at Silver Spring AFI.

Yeah, the lack of any seres this month is pretty disappointing but at least there's the Russian documentary series and the Italian neo-realist series, both at the National Gallery of Art, and later this week the beginning of the Goethe Institut Film|Neu series at E St. Also, West End Cinema is pretty cool, it definitely fills a niche; I saw the Phil Spector documentary there.

I'm finally starting to find out about these cinemas. Unfortunately I work until 11pm Monday to Friday, which limits my ability to see one-offs.

West End Cinema isn't that much of a walk from my apartment, but I have kind of a visceral reaction against it because the theater that used to be there smelled like pee in a very intense way the one time I went. If they got the smell out I'll give it a try.

They got the smell out. And they sell baklava and proper popcorn with butter.

And wine!

baclavaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

big hoos, stay outta the big haus

no kidding man

The White Meadows
Sunday, January 23, 2 pm
Fans of Mohammad Rasoulof's Iron Island will find even more densely-woven symbolism and uncanny imagery in his latest film. Shot on a lake dotted with tiny islands and otherworldly salt formations, this visually stunning, allegory-rich work is full of indelible scenes, from a woman who marries the sea to a dwarf who carries jars of secrets to the bottom of a well. These and other haunting incidents are witnessed by the film's hero, a man who rows…

My Tehran for Sale
Friday, January 28, 7 pm
In Person: Granaz Moussavi, director

This riveting film gives a view of Tehran that would never meet with official approval, taking viewers inside the city's thriving, rebellious culture of artists, poets, singers and dancers. Presented as a series of flashbacks, it stars the intensely charismatic Marzieh Vafamehr as an actress
