Thank goodness May '15 arrived, and brought with it AGE OF ULTRON, FURY ROAD and TOMORROWLAND. Thank goodness June '15 is here, so I can forget multiplexes exist and head back to my beloved rep houses. Ya gotta prioritize, y'know?
Forgive the brevity, Stockahz. To quote Khan, time is a luxury I do not have. The ability to provide you with the daily rundown, however, is a luxury I exult in.
Hallo Stockahz! And welcome to summer '15! Good god how awful a winter we've had. Good gravy what a spectacular season looms on the horizon. Fairer weather permits easier transit between our fave rep venues. Greater deposits of Vitamin D from the sun's rays guarantee the energy to catch 4, even 5 screenings a day. And the balmy breezes coming off the Hudson and East Rivers conspire with night-time outdoor screenings to cool our temperaments and help create movie memories that will last a lifetime. We have lush 3-strip color stock! We have stark degress of black and white. We have tribs to Eisenstein and Dreyer, to Cronenberg and Jean-Claude Carrière. We have a series dedicated to the beginnings of 3-D cinema. And we have the new 4K restoration of the greatest movie ever made. So let's get to biz.
I hope this first day in a post-Memorial Day 2015 world finds you sated, stuffed and otherwise survived. Personally, I mean, not by your next of kin. Yesterday's menu being one of myriad choices, were you so benefitted, I feel somewhat better about offering pickings slim, yet of the highest quality, today. So let's get to the cherce cuts!
