Reminder: it’s still not cool to hit the sauce when you’ve got a bun in the oven, alright?
Hello and welcome to a glorious THREE DAY WEEKEND! That means a whole extra day for sleeping in, grilling, daytime drinking, and - of course - catching up on movies. Oh yeah, and remembering… soldiers and stuff. Although, hey, we might as well call this a FOUR day weekend because are…

Right on, Jason Bailey (and Alexander Huls).
I’m pretty psyched for Film Society’s midnight lineup to start next week - they’re even throwing in Richard Pryor: Live in Concert! I love you, New York.
This is pretty much the Tumblr equivalent of me giving you the good half of a “BEST FRIENDS” heart necklace (which is the “BE FRI” part, obviously).
DUDES. (Can I call you “dudes?” I don’t want ladies to think I’m leaving them out but I call lady-friends “dudes” too as a sign of camaraderie. But maybe we’re not that close yet, dear readers? But again, right there, “dear readers” implies a sort of distance that I think we’ve already…
I still having trouble believing that this Jerry O’Connell and this Jerry O’Connell are the same person.
This weekend, let’s get in our time machine and go back an entire twenty-plus years. That’s right, we’re going to the EIGHTIES, a time of big hair, synth music, and rich kids - although, if you live in Brooklyn, it’s probably not that exotic. Anyway, it was also a time for great cinema…
The Northside Festival - hitting Brooklyn June 14-21 - just announced a killer lineup of live music, film screenings, and all sorts of other artsy fun times BUT perhaps the best news ever is the return of JENS LEKMAN! I don’t think I’ve expressed my love for Jens as much on this blog as I do on my other one, but trust me - it’s a love that will never die. You better believe I’m gonna be buying a ticket to his June 15th show as soon as it goes on sale this Friday.
In addition to the glory of Jens, I’m also pretty psyched for Screaming Females, Kid Sister, Magik Markers, and Questlove - not too mention this whole lineup of movies (inexplicably including Total Recall!)
It’s going to be a sweet summer, friends.
I’M AWAKE I’M AWAKE I’M AWAKE!
I’m bringing you a robust blend of movies this week, like a fresh cup of single brew, fair trade coffee. Some of it will kick you in the pants and wake you right up and some of it will linger fragrantly in your memory. Which is to say: two of the these are special, one-night-only deals…
Whoops, I’m reblogging this two hours too late for Casino, but there are still plenty more monsters and blood-soaked romances to catch. Happy weekend!
Put away those magazines and newspapers and star charts and whatever else you use to pick a movie because THIS VERY LIST is all you need for the weekend. I’ve got it all figured out for you, from Friday night to Sunday afternoon and from classic to camp. All you need to…
I’m already counting down the days to warmer weather - especially with today’s gross weather - but the fine folks at The L Magazine have given me another reason to be impatient: SummerScreen 2012!!
Yes, we have to wait until JULY, but it’ll be worth it. I’m especially psyched for Raising Arizona on 7/18 and The Princess Bride on 8/1 (yeah, that will be me yelling rhymes to Andre the Giant) AND for the fact that you can vote for the film you think they should screen on the last night (Empire Records, pleeeease).
Oh, and if that’s not enough to get you picnic-blanket-shopping, there’s STILL some live music yet to be announced! Holy crap, July!
Now excuse me while I go turn all my jeans into cutoffs.
May used to mean the end of the school year. Now it’s only the beginning of forgery, Britpop, and animated revolution lessons.
Did you miss me, nerd friends? Was your Monday a lost cause without my over-enthusiastic movie recommendations? I know I usually give you the rundown on Mondays, but I thought you might like to enjoy the last day of April in glorious solitude. Now get ready for MAY! The EXPERIENCE!!
Such a supple wrist.
Did you have a nice restful and rainy week? Awesome, because the next three days are going to mess up your entire mind. Things aren’t quite as jumpy as last weekend, but you just might be questioning your own sanity after these movies get in your brain.
Who knew…
