Woah, a bunch of these look super interesting. Never even heard of the guy before (though I remember admiring the poster for Roadie over in the claustrophobic caricature thread).

He's Altman Junior, basically. There's a bunch I haven't seen since they were released, but at the top I'd put Choose Me, then Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle, Equinox, Breakfast of Champions, Mortal Thoughts, Remember My Name, The Moderns, Trouble in Mind, The Secret Lives of Dentists, Afterglow.

Roadie is not well regarded, but I'd like to see Songwriter.

There was a big turnout for Welcome to LA last night, so I'd advise advance tix for any screenings w/ Rudolph and his signature star Keith Carradine doing Q&A's.

apparently the Video Free Brooklyn store *will* be reopening as was promised, oh, 18 months ago

Update time!

We're very sorry for the long delay in re-opening @vfbrooklyn at the Alamo Drafthouse. We intended to be open much sooner, but the initial plan for the store design ran into some serious design and logistical snags. We needed to rethink, redesign and start over.

Utterly Winona at the Quad

https://quadcinema.com/program/utterly-winona/

If you're a fan of hilariously bad movies, The House of the Spirits is a must.

aw bummer, i was reading that entry this morning and was like "dammmn this cast looks awesome, how have i not heard of this?"

There's a scene where Winona is tortured by military goon Vincent Gallo that plays like the Amnesty International version of Heathers.

Mmmm, prime Bille August. When he is bad... Winner of two Golden Palms, btw. Danish cinema at it's finest.

at BAM starting Friday, Say It Loud: Cinema in the Age of Black Power, 1966—1981

some rarely exhibited stuff here

https://www.bam.org/film/2018/say-it-loud

if anybody hasn't been to the reopened film forum yet, i give it a tentative thumbs up. those new seats are massively more comfortable, maybe the most comfortable i've ever encountered. but, surely there are fewer seats in the room? which would bode poorly for things selling out. :-/

theater 1 looks the same

was in the new space last night... i think the existing 3 stayed the same?

i was in 3 last night for "grisbi" and i could swear it was fewer seats - i mean the new ones are wider and the room is the same size so surely....? but maybe!

They're pretty good about adjusting theater assignments w/ films... they had Becker running in 2 rooms the last night.

There's a rock series running at Anthology, featuring a lot of stuff that many of us have seen. Although I've never endured all of Woodstock... I'd link but the website is having connectivity problems. Check Screen Slate.

Truffaut (all 35mm) and Makoto Shinkai ongoing at Metrograph

Germaine Dulac at FSLC

https://www.filmlinc.org/series/germaine-dulac/#films

https://www.filmcomment.com/blog/queer-now-1928/

As there was no soundtrack/score on the print, FSLC ran last night's 7pm Dulac silent feature in total silence. Terrible idea. Put on a record to drown out the patrons' yawns and gurgling stomachs.

Haha, I remember seeing von Sternberg's Underworld that way at the Film Forum. A totally ridiculous way to screen a film.

Otm. If I watch something silent at home and don’t like the soundtrack they’ve added to it I mute it and play something else.

looks like the whole series is that way

bring your own headphones

or a boombox - make it a better ride for everyone!
