hey guys... anyone interested in hanging out over the summer (bay area)? i know mazzin is here and i just bumped into kaveh the other day.. any takers?

sure! i'm around :)

i'm around as well :)

Yea lets do it, We can see a film at the PFA or something

I'm in Paris, but I'll be back August 4th and definitely want to see some of the Kurosawa at the PFA.

Yeah!! PFA sounds nice... when do you guys want to do this?

Weekday afternoons/evenings are generally best for me :)

I recently saw Vertigo at a theater in Paris and I am afraid that I will never see that film again without Davy's Jimmy Stewart imitation ringing in my ears at the climactic moment.

"You were a very apt pupil, weren't you? A very apt pupil!"

High and Low (Kurosawa) at the PFA tomorrow at 5:30?

Hey you guys!

I just talked to Mazzin about going to a movie with all of you. we thought going to see "the hustler" at the PFA would be cool
it is playing this sunday (9/12) at the PFA at 6:30

who is in?
me
and mazzin

any one else?

I can't... i work during weekends :(

i'm away that weekend, but i'm definitely up for films and hanging out this fall!!!

i am also busy this sunday -- and would also be up for hanging out some other time! :)

Even though Sunday isn't going to work, we should definitely all get together for films! If anyone has any suggestions, I will let everyone know.

sound good Sara!! :) let me know

Hello, hope everyone is doing good.

Is anyone interested in seeing Breathless this Friday at 7pm? Let me know

is it the original? if so, i'm interested! where?

I believe it is the original. It is on 35 mm and its playing right here at the Pacific Film Archive

I might be able to go...

hey y'all. i guess this is the default announcements page. so...

here's some films at the pfa that i'm interested in going to. note that the screening on november 4 coincides with a possible 7th game of the world series -- in which case all best are off. but notwithstanding, is anybody interested in checking them out and going for drink afterward?


Thursday, November 4, 2010
7:00 p.m. Ossessione
Luchino Visconti (Italy, 1943). With a deft mixture of authenticity, narrative suspense, and ambiguous passions, Visconti transposes James M. Cain's The Postman Always Rings Twice to a Po Valley trattoria. “An extraordinarily majestic, elegant, and romantic movie.”—Vincent Canby, New York Times (140 mins)

Friday, November 26, 2010
8:00 p.m. The Killers
Robert Siodmak (U.S., 1946). Two big-city toughs invade a small-town diner looking for “The Swede,” in this blood-pulsing noir, based on a story by Hemingway and costarring Ava Gardner and Edmond O’Brien. Lancaster’s first screen role. (103 mins)

Saturday, November 27, 2010
8:40 p.m. Brute Force
Jules Dassin (U.S., 1947). Famed blacklisted director Dassin (Night and the City) teamed with Lancaster for this hard-hitting noir about life inside prison walls. “Part antifascist tract, part existential allegory.”—NY Times (94 mins)

I'd love to go see any of these three, they all look interesting.

As of right now, I'd be interested in going to see some of these, I think it'd be fun.

OssessioneLuchino is an Italian Neo-Realist film huh, it may be a bit depressing and mundane.

"The Killers" I would LOVE to see. I loved the short story and I did not know there was a film about it. Lets all go see it!

count me in...

wait, isn't that the friday after thanksgiving?

if I am in town that day, I'm in too.

yeah, there is a chance that the holiday could complicate things -- but "the killers" is a super movie. i like it better than the story. i'm going to try my darndest to make it.

I didn't realize it was the weekend of Thanksgiving. I'll have to play it by ear :/

I've been meaning to see The Killers and Brute Force. May the Thanksgiving gods smile upon our endeavors.

Tomorrow 6:45pm In Kabukis theater the 5 1/2 epic "Carlos" is playing! It's by a French director and follows Ramirez Sanchez an international gangster/terrorist from the 70's to the 80's. Its getting lot of attention and great reviews, if anyone is interested in seeing it let me know.

I can't...
