They have a 70mm-capable IMAX there.

Sucks that you can’t use “kinetic” when writing about moving image anymore now that it’s been overused to describe military action.

Obviously one of the least tragic consequences of our country’s increased bellicosity but worth mentioning.

His film opinions only seem to get weird starting in the sixties. Maybe later!

The Dreyer is worthwhile!

Hope this flops.

How close these were for me (more flags means that’s where my vote went):

“The Magician” played enough on Live 105 that I couldn’t pass that one up. But “Laziko” got my extra vote since it was my bonus another manager so kindly picked. Love its 7/4 meter!

Except that one is a cover (though I didn’t realize that for decades).

A review of Of Whales, the Moon, and Men (1963) When Portland, Maine’s all-16mm microcinema Kinonik announces that they’re showing something shot on that format (instead of their usual fare of reduction prints of 35mm features, which can be fun too...

Went to @kinonikmaine.bsky.social last weekend, to see a cinéma vérité classic from French Canada

Maybe not all, but a best of would be most welcome. (I’ve written a dozen or so over the years but there are at least a a couple of those that I’m thankful were removed from public view when the Twitter account died.)

The Best Album of 2001 - Challonge Explore this tournament hosted by Kza

Easy way to see the results (though the past two matches haven’t been updated, they both went to the higher seed) is here: challonge.com/bestalbumof2...

Still a little sad I had to part with my copy when vacating my SF apartment, but at least it went to a good home… @stefifofum.bsky.social

Ridiculous that the lavish Fox/Borzage/Murnau box set devoted a paragraph of its booklet to a CriterionForum hoaxer but made no mention of this much more pressing issue!

Your writing* convinced me to change my vote!

*and the fact that it was being administered a drubbing by an album I nominated and seeded but have predicted to go out early in this tournament, albeit not in this round.

I went to a talk about 10yrs ago where cinema owners were warned. The keynote speaker said "you are getting excited about this technology but you had also better start getting excited about Universal Basic Income at the same time otherwise you'll have no-one to sell tickets to."

Chuck Jones Podcast Episode · Bookworm · March 27, 1990 · 30m

You’re far from alone in this misapprehension! Just last month I ran across Michael Silverblatt’s 1990 interview with Chuck Jones, where he brings up the article podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b...

A review of The Wabbit Who Came to Supper (1942) Manny Farber, in his essay "Short and Happy" published in the September 20, 1943 issue of The New Republic, famously wrote "The surprising facts about them are that the good ones are masterpieces and ...

I’ve gone back to the original New Republic article and written about it a couple times, most recently here boxd.it/3RXsqv

As far as I can tell It was, but the 1943 version did NOT identify the directors, contrary to popular belief. That was a revision for the 1971 collection NEGATIVE SPACE, which has created all sorts of mischief in the decades since.

Three of the four of them had two Best Director Oscar wins before Pearl Harbor occurred.

Not-so-greatest generation…

I’ll claim that. I just counted twenty-five, and that’s just from the T-Z section of the alphabet.

There were two and the one you want to be at was the second one, in Pasadena, after a Jimmy Cagney war movie, not the Pomona one after a Dorothy Lamour musical, where the audience was younger and reportedly more vocally disrespectful.

So many Chinese place names that mean nothing to me… www.maptap.gg April 20

Thought of that too, but I think I’m just more of a Wells fan than a Gance one.

(The second feature at that showing was an unannounced screening of a certain Orson Welles movie, before 43 minutes of it were cut from it.)

March 19, 1942 showing of CAPTAINS OF THE CLOUDS and whatever they decide to pair with it at the United Artists Theatre in Pasadena, California.

Borzage in general is!

I’d stick to picks that have never been selected by someone else in that segment (and that I don’t own on Blu-Ray):

It played for a week or two in San Francisco around then too, at a long-missed venue called the Red Vic.
