Woah. This showing of Get Out is filling up! Rad!

I saw a family show up with two young kids. What's up with that?

Alrighty phone off now.

I was at a nearly sold out showing of Get Out last night, and had to sit in the front row. It's unreal how popular this movie is.

I don't think it sucks, Nichols' comic timing is really pretty good, but it's a weirdly ugly movie compared to some of its contemporaries and I've never understood Surtees' Oscar nomination for it.

Guess the movie!

Warner Brothers eventually purchased and distributed the completed film for a sum just under a million dollars.[5] Warners initially previewed the film on a double bill with the Mel Brooks comedy Blazing Saddles, resulting in very negative audience response, and forcing the production team to book the film into several other theaters in locations such as Little Rock, Arkansas to demonstrate that the film could make money.[7]

Yeah idk. I don't hate it but I find it to be really stodgy, everything feels so cute and neat so you get all the Messages and Irony right away but everything's squished down as a result.

It is daunting (I had about 2400 to migrate over), but it's worth it. I've been a huge Criticker fan since 2007, but I call it like I see it and Letterboxd bests Criticker on just about every single level.

Get Out was pretty loving good. My audience wasn't as fun as I hoped. The end was a little disappointing only due to the fact that there wasn't more family members to punish. :black101:

But it owned. The cast killed it. I thought it was pretty well shot for a first time director. :shrug:


Also where was the deer skeleton? I went to the bathroom real quick after he woke up post first therapy session, was it there?

I'm watching Cinerama Russian Adventure. It has somewhat obnoxious "folksy" narration by Bing Crosby and doesn't even have any air of anti-Communist stuff. Just a lot of travelogue stuff with reindeer, snow, and stuff.

Out of nowhere, there's a scene with sailors hunting a whale, killing it, then gutting the carcass in close-up.

On the topic of theater chat, what are some of the best movie theaters in the country? I'm always moving and it legitimately factors into where I go...

Cinefamily in Los Angeles is far and away the best I've ever been to. The number of special events / speakers they have there is insane, despite it being such a small space. I was going nearly once a week when I lived in LA, but probably the best was an all night (free!) screening of Goosebumps episodes... Also I talked to an ex cult member after a screening of Holy Hell. One of the weirdest conversations of my life. I'm actually considering moving back to LA because I miss it so much (LA sucks)

Belcourt in Nashville is pretty good, Roxie in SF has a great selection but its a dump

Music Box in Chicago is the best that I've ever been to. They do their 70mm festival every year, they show great movies all the time, and they do cool special event stuff as well. Plus they show as many movies as they can in 35mm.

Lately I've been stuck in a rut in life. Nothing seems interesting to me anymore and I've given serious thought to ending my sad lovely gay existence. But that's too pathetic and gay for me and not cool enough.

So instead I'm ordering a fuckload of DOC (a psychedelic that lasts for over 18 hours), locking myself in a 4 foot by 4 foot wooden cube, and having my friend play Death Grips' discography on shuffle at jet engine volume on my sound system to drown out my screaming.

Any advice, goons? How do I mentally prepare myself for this?

The dude from the 19th century has the body of a old man in his early 30s because he has been working 14 hours a day 6 days a week since he was 4. Is constantly drunk because unlike all the drinking water alcohol doesn't have poop in it. Has a bunch of parasites.

The medieval guy doesn't understand a word anyone else is saying because he only speaks Middle English. A really chill dude who does everything really slowly because as a pre-industrial peasant time is barely a concept to him. Has a bunch of parasites.

The early modern guy dresses like a hobo clown. Religious zealot who will kill anyone with a slightly different interpretation of even the most minute detail of the bible. Might murder you anyway if he wants to loot your boots or teeth. Smokes like a chimney. Has a bunch of parasites.
