Had never really thought of Hawks before in relation to Reichardt, but The Mastermind's persistent, insistent slack feels like a Hawks hang-out with all the hang-out surgically excised, the gaps amplified by an Akermanian insistence on heist process—the change in plan, the barn, the La Chambre shot

FML Just now realizing that, after the Naruse was cancelled yesterday, I could have gone to see The Big Trail at the Stanford but wasn't thinking about it because I already had MVFF tickets

Has anybody seen any other Bay Area stops for Reichardt yet? I can’t make this one…

Looks like it's already got a few dates in the Big at least

I'm sorry—WHAT?! The Rialto Cerrito can do 35mm?!

"It's 8:15." is probably the best single line of the year?

An overhead snapshot of a large black and white dog relaxed and sleeping on his side, half on a dog blanket and half on a blue and white-striped carpet, with his back flush against the front of a couch.

The de-burred, Houdinious brat now that I’m home:

All in all, very considerate of my dog to escape through a window on the afternoon of a repeat Naruse film I’ve already caught rather than a one-off, and for my neighbor to text that he’d done so literally as I was about to hand over my card to buy a ticket.

Also PSA for the Naruse-heads: there’s a used copy of the Catherine Russell book (whose intro title was borrowed for the BAMPFA series) on the shelves
