Many's the time I dealt with just this dilemma over my movie-going life here in L.A. of almost 10 years (although I stopped the madness now). Many's a weekend I spent driving from UCLA to the New Bev to the Egyptian to pack 3 to 5 movies into a single day (I kept a journal for part of that time, so I should look up what the best films seen in one day was and what the record # seen in one day was). They do one thing well here, and it seems they have never stopped—and it may be better than ever right now—and that's screen a lot of great rarities and get people to appear in person with them. The only complaint I have is things like the Resnais festival at the Egyptian years ago aren't being replicated. i.e. it's not snobby enough (this from the guy who missed the Mizoguchi double feature!). It's tilted slightly more mainstream although UCLA usually programs a few touring festivals that help correct that. (At least they used to.)The Mysterious Ad[ri.an B)e;ta]m.a.x.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14584835204677201232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795280.post-73834704056765155982008-07-12T12:02:00.000-07:002008-07-12T12:02:00.000-07:00Ed, that's the nicest thing anybody's ever said ab...Ed, that's the nicest thing anybody's ever said about me...Dennis Cozzaliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01954848938471883431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795280.post-9675967927729069822008-07-12T11:26:00.000-07:002008-07-12T11:26:00.000-07:00Dennis,Are you wearing a director's contrast loupe...Dennis,<BR/><BR/>Are you wearing a director's contrast loupe as you catch the ball in that photo?Elvis McFatPantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18035584136460868081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795280.post-9184010673074487312008-07-04T14:13:00.000-07:002008-07-04T14:13:00.000-07:00Happy 4th of the month, Dennis!

Hope you and your family like the Herzog- no kids were at my 7 PM screening but there were a few people featured in the film: the penguin researcher and the contortionist, for two.<BR/><BR/>I ended up missing <I>Blue Thunder</I> on 70mm, but later heard it was more like <I>Pinkish Thunder</I>. The colors in the 70mm print of <I>Little Shop of Horrors</I> I saw last night, however, were nothing short of stunning.
