Grimcock's Movie Pick
« on: May 29, 2008, 10:23:38 AM »
I share the info because I'm an acolyte and an addict of...

Perhaps the greatest film ever made...

Chris Marker's

A Grin With a Cat,

this evening (and with free admission!) at the New Museum in NYC...

http://www.newmuseum.org/events/182

See you there!

Am I being unnecessarily reactionary for being unwilling to set foot in the New Museum until they take this damned bit of Williamsburg-I-Love-the-80s-Aesthetic-creep down?

I have to agree, TL. That's been there since the re-opening, and it annoys me no end. And it does not annoy me in a "Hey! It's controversial", Duchamp, Mapplethorpe, Serrano kind of way, but in a "This belongs on a hipster's t-shirt" kind of way.

Sorry to stray, Grimcock.

I can't really weigh in on this debate as I don't live in NYC, but I will say that I just watched Marker's "Sans Soleil" last week and was completely transfixed. I've only seen that and the equally amazing "La Jetee", but now I'm hooked. If I was in the area, I'd already have my seat staked out for this.

The New Museum's architecture makes setting foot in there seem somehow painful.  I can't explain this phenomenon, but try it and you'll see.

I do concur.  If I was home tonight, I'd cross the "Hell Yes" picket line to see some Chris Marker...
