Discuss: Movie Resolutions for the New Year
Filed under: Fandom »
I generally don't "do" New Years' resolutions. Partially because I'm lazy but also because I'm pretty much perfect, and I think it's kind of disrespectful to God if I try to improve myself too much. But this year I'm actively working on a spec script, and so I've resolved myself to getting the damn thing finished. I've also made a resolution to never again see a movie at the UA Grant Plaza theater, but that decision won't mean a thing if you don't live in Northeast Philadelphia.And then here are a list of resolutions I should make, but would never be able to follow through on:
1. No more enjoyment of Milla Jovovich movies.
2. Stop treating horror flicks like real movies when I watch / review them.
3. No more soda pop purchases at the multiplex!
4. Find something amusing about Adam Sandler.
5. Stop lusting over Jennifer Connelly already!
6. Throw in the towel on M. Night Shyamalan.
7. Forget John Carpenter ever making a good flick again.
8. Find something tolerable about Tyler Perry's movies.
9. Find a way to cover hardcore pornography at Cinematical.
10. Start recommending Martyrs to old ladies and young children.
So even though you've probably made your New Years' resolutions already, I challenge you to come up with a few movie-related ones and share 'em with the rest of us. Ooh, here's a serious one: I will buy a Blu-Ray this year.
Fassbinder marathon at IFC Center
Filed under: Classics », Foreign Language », Independent », Exhibition », Cinematical Indie »
Damn it! Because Gmail is retarded, I missed seeing an email from the IFC Center's press department, and thus,
didn't know until about five minutes ago that Barbara Sukowa was on hand this afternoon to present a screening of Rainer
Werner Fassbinder's Lola. If you went, do pass along info. Otherwise, this is good to know: the Center,
currently in the middle of an 11 weekend tribute to the late German auteur, is throwing a three-film marathon New
Year's party on Sunday, featuring the whole of the BRD Trilogy - The Marriage of Maria Braun, Lola,
and Veronica Voss for the price of one, $20 ticket (seniors $16). It starts at noon, and Voss alone
is more than worth rousing yourself from your champagne coma to see.
