Okay, let me first get adjusted to the fact that a whole week of July's sunny, muggy goodness has already slipped by. Seems like just yesterday for the last 46 years I was bitching about Winter and pining for picnic weather. Or picnicking for pining weather. Slow down, Summer '15, let's get to know each other why don't we?

The lone ongoing series today is MoMA's exceptional Glorious Technicolor: From Eastman House and Beyond. The rest of the jiggery-pokery be thus;

Hallo Stockahz! Your summer proceeds pleasingly apace mehopes. We in this burg have had much to be thankful for thus far; mild temps, pleasant park sojourns, heck even the rain's been welcome. Not just aesthetically
either, but as replenishment to our thirsty reservoirs. We can be grateful for all these amenities, but really we're just basking and rolling around in and getting filthy with our beloved rep film scene, which now expands to screens unbounded by four walls. There's much, much, MUCH to cover this month, so let's dive straight in, shan't we? These months are flying by with a disarming, even alarming acceleration. The sooner we focus on the goods the better.

America's birthday has rolled around once more, Stockahz, and while we take advantage of the day off to watch hot dog eating contests, contestants vomiting through their nose at hot dog eating contests, baseball, bikinis and simply the finest annual fireworks display this side of any country with stringent safety regulations, let's also take a second to remember General Washington's efforts and those of his starving troops, as well as the men and women in the Armed Forces at home and around the world today, who respectively secured our independence and maintain it, so we may watch grown men vomit partially digested hot dogs number 46 and 47 through their noses. Freedom, sumbitchaz!

Brevity prevails, Stockahz. The good news, though, is that the July calendar looms, the finishing touches still to be placed, and the month is chock full of rep film nuttiness both indoors and out! As always, the pop-up window wimwammery goes live the morning of the 1st, so be sure to check back early tomorrow for the full rundown. And now, to this month's end.

Continuing series today include the close of the wonderful Apu Trilogy at Film Forum, CinéSalon - Jean-Claude Carrièrre: Writing the Impossible at the French Institute, Glorious Technicolor: From George Eastman House and Beyond and 3-D Summer! at MoMA, and Karen Selects at BAM. The kino kray-kray be thus;

Continuing series this day include the 10-week trib to master filmmaker Yasujiro Ozu at IFC Center, the slowly winding-down, for reals this time, Apu Trilogy at Film Forum, and the halfway mark-met Glorious Technicolor: From Eastman House and Beyond at MoMA. The kinetic granular gripery be thus;
