38 DegreesSave The Prince Charles CinemaThe future of the iconic Prince Charles Cinema in London’s West End is under serious threat! We are beyond disappointed that our landlords, Zedwell LSQ Ltd and their ultimate parent company Criterion Capital, have demanded the inclusion of a break clause in our new lease. This could leave us homeless with only 6 months’ notice should they receive planning permission to redevelop the cinema. Losing The Prince Charles Cinema would mean losing not just an iconic cultural institution, but also...

If you live in the UK and love cinema, please consider signing the PCC's campaign petition. They need to stop the landlord building in a break clause in the contract once the current one expires in Sept 2025. There are news articles on this too, so this is genuine.

I've just signed this. Would you please add your name and share too?

Thank you.

Do you agree?

Catch up with the NFB and Mikrofilm producers behind Torill Kove's Oscar-qualified short MAYBE ELEPHANTS and discover their enduring partnership with Animation Magazine → animationmagazine.net/2024/11/

Still from Torill Kove's MAYBE ELEPHANTS. The image features a mostly muted palette. In the background are hills and trees. The ground is sand coloured. The film takes place in Africa. In the middle of the picture, five children surround a boombox. The one on the far left has short red hair and is wearing a pink and brown outfit. She is standing over a blonde haired sister that is dressed in blue and crouched by the boombox. Behind the device stands a black-haired girl in a red dress. Next to her is a younger male, dressed in green. They are both looking at the cassette player. On the far right is a brown-haired girl in yellow and brown adjusting a dial on the boombox.

I have finally seen Wim Wenders' 'Perfect Days'.

Koji Yakusho won a Palme d'Or for his acting, which seems about right. The movie didn't win one, which is about right too.

It's one that has lots of influences, and I've reviewed it in three crappy graphics, below.

Koji Yashuko's star role as Hirayama is three people in one: Looks = Bob Dylan post-2000 with his moustache (but Japanese); Vibe = Yukio Mishima's proto-Mod lifestyle discipline thing; Mannerisms = Charlie chaplin meet-cute as physical theatre thing. And yes, he's a Tokyo toilet cleaner.
A bar graph that shows the movie's running time, taken up with 2/3 'Bad film', a small interlude of 'Annoying film' and an end bit of 'Very good film'.
Graph: WIM WENDERS’ ‘PERFECT DAYS’ = 3 movies in one. They are: Chaplin's CITY LIGHTS Silent movie combines physical theatre with sentimentality, soundtracked by popular melodies... But he's a Tokyo toilet cleaner SMOKE (1995) Manhattan shopkeeper takes photo every day of the shopfront, joy of rituals of everyday.... But he's a Tokyo toilet cleaner AMÉLIE (2001) Manic pixie dream girl parties alone in the joy of small things & this can open the hearts of others... But he's a Tokyo toilet cleaner

So... once again I'm watching a movie and I have to stop because I'm curious about something in a scene and I have to look it up. This time the movie is the original 1974 version of THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE, and the "thing" is a book, the "A to Z Horoscope Maker and Delineator."

I have to admit I've never seen the film before, so this is my first time. Also, vintage copies of the book can be found online for less than $10, fyi. 😜

This (below) looks like a great list of independent films. Sadly, I have to say that I've seen very few of them. I studied film in college years ago and was a huge independent film fan, but I've become bad at keeping up with new films. I just don't see that many anymore. I tend towards documentary and older films, often rewatching films for the nth time rather than something new. But maybe I need to change that tendency.

Well… I’m cleaning out some old boxes and it feels like I’m doing an archaeological dig. I just came across this buried artifact from 1993 – my first master’s thesis. This spring it will be 30 years since I defended it before the committee. And yes, Kinko’s!

Title:
Speaking Directly: Some American Notes, Last Chants for a Slow Dance (Dead End), Chameleon: A Study of Three Films by Jon Jost

Image of the Kinko's box in which the extra loose-leaf copy of my master's thesis resides. The box has taped corners to keep it intact.

#Bales2023FilmChallenge March 13: Do something daring on #NationalOpenAnUmbrellaIndoorsDay

A slice of teenage bravura is just enough for a couple of kids to #dare each other to a drag race. Hours after the car of one of them plunges from a bridge into the murky waters below, Mary Henry resurfaces.

Carnival of Souls was Herk Harvey sole feature length #film. He's much better known – albeit mostly uncredited – for his short PSAs including Halloween Safety, ruining your kids' favourite holiday since 1977, and Shake Hands With Danger (1980). You don't have to tell Three Finger Joe about taking no risks.

A close-up of Mary Henry (Candace Hilligoss) at the titular carnival, of which we only see the lights in the background. She has an expression of wonder on her face.
