oh, and for some killer but lesser-known 70s Elliott Gould, The Silent Partner.

I don't think I've ever dropped more than $25 but my boss bought myself and a coworker $150/pop Neil Young tickets as a bonus back in April. As Neil was in solid form and Bert Jansch opened just a few months before he passed, I feel very lucky; never would've dropped that much cash for that show...

bump -- this is tonight.

David Cronenberg's 1983 mind-melter VIDEODROME will screen from a 35mm print 9pm Tuesday, October 25th on the largest screen of the historic Charles Theater (1711 N. Charles Street, 1 block from Penn Station). Just five bucks! This screening is part of Gunky's Basement, the Maryland Film...

btw, I didn't have to sign up and I'm listening (and enjoying quite a bit) right now. Thanks!

onetet said: My favorite new film at TIFF thus far was this sad, hilarious Canadian documentary about residents of a nursing home, filmed over 5 years. Many of the residents have dementia, so it gets into some dark and uncomfortable territory at times. Not for...

ketan said:INVASION sounds great...might try to catch the Thursday morning show. I loved it, gems like this are why we need repertory cinema. One word about the print/TIFF presentation though: it's a restored 35mm print that looks good, but with French subtitles attached. They...

seems like there aren't a lot of strutters following the fest this year, but just in case I have three favorites so far. VOLCANO--a small production from Iceland about a 60-something retiree who relies on his long-suffering wife for every detail, seemingly incapable of even heating up...

sorry to hear you're sitting it out, Bassie, but I can understand. The slick yuppie gloss of the Lightbox is indeed offputting, and if I'd been ordering online I would've been pissed -- their site is archaic, buggy, and counter-intuitive. That said, I feel like I've still found a...

My power was restored Wednesday night after 4 days without. Thing is, it turned out to be a 90-second fix to get 100 houses up and running. Momentarily giving BGE the benefit of doubt that they were actually working long hours earnestly based on well-reasoned triage over those 100 hours, I can...

I'd like to make it to: Vancouver Brazil Alaska Japan Rotterdam (for their film fest) I may be crossing that last off my list in January, fingers crossed.

I saw this last year at SXSW and enjoyed it. Just as many quotables as one would imagine.

I got my ticket confirmation email last night, and rec'd 27 of my 30 choices -- the worst I've done, but still pretty great. Of "big" movies, I've got the new Herzog, van Sant, Solondz, Wiseman, Coppola, and Bela Tarr films. The three I didn't get into were the Cronenberg, Steve McQueen, and...

I was just congratulating myself for the fun rustic night I had last night reading by candlelight when I heard that I'm not expected to have power restored for three days. Something tells me the novelty is soon to wear off.

Many of my favorites have already been mentioned, but here's a few more: Chungking Express was huge for me when it was released, but I'm not sure how I'd rate it relative to his other films now. I also haven't revisited this, but it was definitely one...
