Wonder if I should try to see On the Silver Globe this weekend.

i saw the first 40 mins on DVD recently and had to stop. Massively annoying, almost presidential-convention level.

I hated that one they always show on Mubi, Infidelity, but recently finally saw Possession which I liked.

I sat thru all of On the Silver Globe in the theater, p sure my brain just shut off entirely halfway thru it (I don't really mean this in any sort of complimentary way)

Okay may try tomorrow, perhaps I will hate as much as you two. Meanwhile, MoMA has at 5PM both Love Affair and Le Plaisir. Can't decide.

So between stomach illness and going to the beach I had to curtail my ambitious "Les Durs" screening schedule, but I wanted to thank James Redd and Morbius again for the recommendations - ended up catching Port of Shadows and Classe Tous Risques, and enjoying both! Will try and catch Breathless in their upcoming two-for-the-price-of-one series...

I was thinking about checking out one of the last couple days of their Marx Bros/vaudeville series, which seems to include a fair number of two-for-ones. I have never seen a single Marx Brothers film despite their being on countless lists of greatest comedies, etc. Have always had the vague sense that they were kind of goofy, but would love to discover that to my surprise I find them hilarious.

I think I kind of have them mixed up with the Three Stooges, who have never much drawn me in. I mean, I'm given to understand they're very different, but in my brain they get mushed together - oh, looks like in this one they're house painters, who knows what hijinks may ensue? The titles don't help with this to be honest. Anyway - reckon I'll check something out, though I also want to see La Notte and/or Elevator to the Gallows, also ending this week. It's hard to get used to the NYC embarrassment of riches sometimes.

Of course.
Saw a few minutes of 2001 out of the corner of my eye this evening and was thinking maybe we should do a Leonard Rossiter poll.

Finally did Duck Soup btw - y'all were right, those dudes were hilarious! Hadn't laughed that hard at a movie in a long time. Kids near me were cracking up too.
Is it the original of the "person pretends to be someone else's mirror image" bit? Or is that old vaudeville stuff?
― dustalo springsteen (Doctor Casino), Saturday, 12 November 2016 16:56 (seven years ago) link
i imagine that's as old as mirrors tbhyou really really need to do night at the opera
― the notes the loon doesn't play (ulysses), Sunday, 13 November 2016 06:46 (seven years ago) link
there is at least one silent film directed by McCarey that also has the same mirror bit.
ANatO is also essential, but has the 'fat' of the love interest for 'regular people' in the audience. ("What people?" asked Pauline Kael.) None of that shit in Duck Soup.
― Supercreditor (Dr Morbius), Sunday, 13 November 2016 15:05 (seven years ago) link
Will keep my eyes out for the next time it comes through one of the big screens - probably won't have to wait too long. Had such fun with Duck Soup as part of an audience, feel like I'd be losing out to just get it from the library.
― dustalo springsteen (Doctor Casino), Sunday, 13 November 2016 15:44 (seven years ago) link
That reminds me of seeing Duck Soup on the big screen in Boston many years ago. The audience was in hysterics.
