Am I wrong to be very concerned about the availability of the Warners repertory library if it is bought by Netflix? Will the classics still be offered to theaters? Will they support 35mm prints?
A love letter to movie theaters and the movie-going experience, a look back at the history of the historic Midtown/Metro Theater on New York's #UpperWestSide, and an introduction to our new name and new vision (debuted at our Big Reveal in October). #arthousecinema

We feel blessed.
Big night for the Dems tonight, but let's not gloat. We don't want to be the Milwaukee Brewers.
We're so proud to be included in the fall 2025 issue of #PreservationMagazine for saving & working to preserve/restore the gorgeous, landmarked Art Deco facade of the former Metro/Midtown theater on the UWS of Manhattan. Join the effort! Uptownfilm.org/donate

Toby Talbot brought unmatched passion, intellect & taste to the NY film scene. Our effort to bring back the Metro & restore a wider range of art film exhibition to the neighborhood is in no small way inspired by the legacy of Toby & Dan. She will be sorely missed.

Come see Joan Micklin Silver's classic indie film #HesterStreet and hear about the new stage adaptation we are working on. It was a hit in its DC premiere, and the next step is to bring it back home to New York City.

Is it time to start planning a Mount Rushmore of former late night talk show hosts? Only two spots left, although that won't last long.
Robert Redford was a great actor, writer and director, but his biggest contribution to the art was the creation of Sundance which defined American Independent film. Those of us with careers in the field owe him tremendously. RIP
It's now crystal clear that any attempt to "fix" awards shows only make them worse. Just let them be what they want to be.
I've never thought there was a bad time to be honest about the fact that a horrible person is/was horrible. But after this week's whitewashing of Kirk by the media and political commentariat, it feels not just permissible but essential to fight both sentimentality and dishonesty at top volume.
Update: the local weather chart is back in the Times today. They must have read my post.
It was bad enough when the @NYTimes stopped printing baseball scores and standings, but as of today they no longer have the local weather!
Sorry to hear about the death of Mark Volman. The Turtles were my very first live concert, held in the auditorium of Highland Park High School. Always loved their happy vibe.
Would someone please re-release Altman's "Nashville" for its 50th anniversary in IMAX? If not Paramount, Neon?
