Recommend some good movies!

I’d say it’s worth the IMAX upgrade

Sinners is great! Credits include Buddy Guy, Brittany Howard, James Blake and Lars Ulrich

Going on Tuesday for $7 movie night.

Also, stay all the way to the end of the credits. Lotsa extra sceneage.

I will do no such thing. Outta there the second the credits roll.

I did not make it – had a project that kept me at the office until like 8.

Will attempt this weekend or on next week's $7 movie Tuesday.

Even, in Julian's America, we wait for the cheap movie night.

Listen $7 movie night during 21+ hours is the only way to see a movie outside Cannes or Venice.

^^ Berlin and TIFF can suck a fat one.

I just finished watching MadS. Great zombie movie, that does a bit of work to expand the boundaries of the genre. Most impressively shot in a single, 90-minute take. The POV switches across 3 main characters, and the "set" covered 6 miles!

I just saw "coming soon" cards for this last night at AFI. Looks really good, but I don't think I can make it work Friday before I leave town.

Man, I wish Richmond had something like AFI showing repertory works on such a large screen. A Woman Is A Woman (a film I've never even been able to see in HD, just a shitty DVD released in US) was absolutely incredible last night. What a gorgeous film when showed properly. La Cocina good too. If I lived up here I'd do that $2500/year-gets-you-2-tickets-to-every-show-free level donation.

Really only worth it if you see more than 100 movies a year in a theater

jules is a cinephile and i have no doubt that he would see 100+ quality movies a year

what i have issue with is his definition of "free"

Ok “included”. You get my meaning.

Yeah. I give more than $2500/year to the Richmond Symphony just to have access to a donor lounge where I can pay $14 for a vodka soda. If I lived in DC, the value I would get out of a $2500/year pass to an arthouse theatre would be astronomical. I'm seeing 7 films at night while in town this week alone.

That’s fair and I support that
Personally I wish I did more, but kids, mortgage and other stuff  areclearly my actual priority
Aspirationally I support the arts

Wasn’t quite presented like that


Although I suspect Julian is hoping for his name on some wall near the merch table with a bunch of other dead rich people as his lasting legacy

It does come with a plaque on the back of a seat in Theatre 1 but I honestly just think I’d come close to recouping at a place showing 12-15 different arthouse films a day. This is not a Julian’s America bit. It’s the number one thing I’m jealous about metro DC having.

Being passionate about the arts is a commendable was to endure this mortal coil

Transit… the sucker of souls
