a last visit to the Ziegfeld
The first movie to play in this theater, back in 1969, was Marooned, a space-age thriller....
We hear Thursday may be the last day.

My dad most definitely took me to see Marooned in Manhattan in '69, so I have to think it was here.

And while I'm here - let me point out the silliness of including the O in your "MOMI" (it was AMMI, but I guess is Un-American now?) but not "FSLC" (I go with the filmlinc webmanteau, which is at least pronounceable). Even MoMA drops the case, mami.

I really liked Girlhood, have a lot of time for Drive (soz Morbs). Eden was my cinematic disappointment of 2015.

Curious what you would think of Love at First Fight. It has some good imagery of landscape and weather.

"bell, book, and candle" is a great title btw. almost a better title than a film.

The Mask of Satan/Black Sunday/whatever it's called was really good
― 龜, Thursday, 18 February 2016 22:18 (eight years ago) link
From ND/NF there is one film that has been a triumph throughout Europe, and which is a must-see or whatever, and that is Lost and Beautiful. It was at Locarno, at CPH:DOX everyone agreed it was by far best in comp - except the judges who gave the two awards to two rubbish American indie-crap - and then it won best debut at Gothenburg. Really, it's a great debut!
Behemoth is pretty cool as well. Film geeks should check out 5+ hour japanese film Happy Hour. It has some pretty unique sequences, but it wasn't quite the great film I'd hoped it would be.

there's this diagnosable guy who goes to every rep theater in NY who desperately tries to engage total starngers, alone or in groups, in conversation, and i am going to physically attack him very soon. Recognize him by his plastic knapsack, and tendency to ask if you're reading the Times "HOW"S THE GREY LADY TONIGHT?"
― we can be heroes just for about 3.6 seconds (Dr Morbius), Friday, 19 February 2016 03:56 (eight years ago) link
If it is the same guy I am thinking of, I believe someone I know sort of befriended him and told me his real name once. I remember his catchphrase as being "How did you like the MOVIE?" or "What did you think of the MOVIE?" He would sort of linger or lurk right outside the theater lobby and then kind of run up to somebody of his choosing on the way out to pose his exit interview question.

Btw I meant to post about how much I hated mustang, just seemed unjustifiably exploitative and manipulative and utterly disregarding of characterization or depth. Kind of offensive portrayal of some very disturbing issues imo
