Oh hey, I just walked out in the last twenty minutes because the
@netflix
-owned theater literally just showed their asses by streaming the Conformist (advertised as a DCP) from
@PrimeVideo
, when the movie started buffering on the big screen.
Absolute insanity
Just so that everyone is aware, in August you will be able to see Boogie Nights, Oppenheimer, 2001, Starman, Inception, Malcolm X, Nope, Airport and Airplane! all in 70mm
Professor asked us to think of our five favorite movies and the guy next to me googles “movies” and has been scrolling for a few minutes and writing names is his notes
Just came across a picture of a guy at the Aggro Dr1ft Hollywood strip club premiere wearing those new apple goggles, captioned “The audience at the event was mostly male.” by the New York Times
Truly baffling stuff going on at the Paris right now. For some reason the 70mm prints of Rebel Moon are in 2.76?? The screen is set to 1.85, the 70mm print is matted to 2.39 but the image is 2.76 so there are TWO very distinct letterboxes on the screen, making up about half of it
Just heard an extremely defeated man walking out of the Lincoln Square regular 70mm theater saying "I thought this was IMAX when I booked the ticket" many such cases unfortunately

Just Another Girl on the I.R.T. (1992) dir. Leslie Harris

Someone was very quietly eating in the corner at MoMA during Somewhere and someone a row in front of them and on the opposite side of the row turns around and yells "THERE'S NO EATING IN THE THEATER" at them. Wildest thing I've ever seen tbh
Exceeded my expectations of how awesome this could be. His top five (allegedly):
1. Avengers: Infinity War
2. Irreplaceable You
3. Hereditary
4. Interstellar
5. Everything Everywhere All at Once

I got in trouble in class recently for saying De Palma clears Scorsese, even after clarifying that I meant bangers per capita since Scorsese has so many more movies. I saw The Fury yesterday and I can no longer hold this take inside, De Palma absolutely clears
An old lady just walked into the middle of the class I am in and handed the closest student a ton of Shen Yun pamphlets and then walked out. No one has any clue how she got in the building

Another insane top five from class yesterday, guy with an extremely thick Brooklyn accent immediately rattles off:
1. The Bronx Tale
2. The Godfather
3. The Wolf Of Wall Street
and then pauses, and slowly lists:
4. Everything Everywhere All at Once
5. Get Out
Paris Theater playing shitty digital trailers for their new movies while Molly Haskell stands there waiting to do an intro for Vivre Sa Vie is insanely funny
The reason you can't really make a movie in a non 2.39/1.85 aspect ratio nowadays is because the odds that a multiplex will project it correctly is probably less than 10%
New Series Announced:

New Barry Lyndon 35mm date at Village East. If every single ticket holder for the previous date doesn’t get a pass whether they went to the digital screening or not that would be insane I’m sorry
@analogfilmnyc
Only certain imax 70mm venues have their film and digital systems side-by-side and thus can show trailers as per usual. AMC Lincoln Square is one of those places.
Universal did in fact strike 5perf 70mm trailers for Exorcist: The Believer and The Holdovers.
All those people saying that IMAX 70 showings of Oppenheimer wouldn't have trailers because of the platter size... Do they think trailers are still distributed on film for film screenings...
Can't think of anything more soul-shattering than when they go up there before a movie and announce it's going to be a DCP. Dramatically changes my mood for the rest of the day
