my old notebook was ruined in the great crockpot backpack spillage of 2026 but good news is I copied everything over to an Arri notebook straight out the wrapper.

Tomorrow is today!
It's by remarkable chance that @fleamarketfilms.bsky.social acquired this print -- found in a Florida storage unit in 2020. Unlike the release based on a German TV version, it has original credits. We share it tomorrow, Thursday 1/29 at 8:00pm at @glitterboxtheater.bsky.social!
He got his start working for Tobe Hooper as a grip on THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE, but Pennell's career was limited by drugs and alcohol. He describes missing his Hollywood chance in this clip from Media Burn Archive.
Two men at night in a truck
Tomorrow night we present what we believe to be the only complete print of Eagle Pennell's landmark indie comedy THE WHOLE SHOOTIN' MATCH. It was an influence on Robert Redford to start Sundance, and on Richard Linklater's career, and subject of a rating revision by Roger Ebert, from 3 to 4 stars.
A recurring collaborator of Peggy Ahwesh, Tippi Comden, Robert Haller, and Natalka Voslakov, he theorized that his fluid camera movement could lock onto a subject's personal wavelength.
Lock in with us for ESSENTIAL PITTSBURGH: J.T. VALE, Friday 12/12 at 8:00 at The Glitterbox.
Here's Forbes Avenue, in the heart of Pitt's campus, as seen in J.T. Vale's 1975 film "Why We Eat." A true maven of cinema povera, he had an eye for cataloging and dramatizing the oddball characters in his social orbit.
J.T. Vale was a South Side cinephile chasing the sublime. We close this season of Essential Pittsburgh with the results of @fleamarketfilms.bsky.social's seven year search for his surviving works. This trailer features scenes from the euphoric "Steelers Riot" (1976).
Tonight!
A great place to be in Pittsburgh tonight: the Carnegie Museum of Art for a hands-on engagement with cameraless experimental filmmaking w/ a selection of paint & scratch films followed by making one as a group! Facilitated by PGH GOATs @pghsoundandimage.bsky.social
Tired: chicken Jockeying at the Sphere or whatever
Wired: Jodie Mack walking around a museum screening room waving her phone flashlight around and reciting parody Dark Side of the Moon lyrics like she’s doing the beat poem from So I Married an Axe Murderer
Best Cinema Experience of the ’20s maybe
Not lying when I think this is probably the best film of the last 20 years. Knew nothing of Mack's work (because I was stupid) and went in blind to the world premiere and came out the biggest fanboy.
We anticipate a special night to say the least when Jodie Mack joins us in person tomorrow, Friday, 9/19 at 7pm at Carnegie Museum of Art with her films on 16mm.
