I'm hearing YCSE tickets are unavailable around the country because supporters of @alexL_E_I are going into checkout, selecting all of the seats, and letting the timer run down over and over.

intro’ing on the 30th at 7pm!
Screening Brian Yuzna’s own 35mm print of Society at @RoxyCinemaNYC today at 4:30p
I’ll be on hand to intro + show a discussion I recorded with Yuzna last night in which we discuss Jeffrey Epstein, the writer’s claim that the movie is autobiographical, and Screaming Mad George.

The word “toolkit” is a red flag for indie film grindset grifters. If someone is selling you a toolkit - especially a “digital toolkit” - run!
If you're in the mood for some live-action Saturday afternoon cartoons, see Freaked at @RoxyCinemaNYC with an intro by Funny Pages director Owen Kline

as a faithful Screen Slate reader I've come to accept NYC's place as the greatest film city despite great loyalty to L.A. where I spent my 20s, but respectfully, neither place has anything on Newark Public Library tonite, shorts on abandoned movie theaters & haunted hospitals!
Recently took some measures to address bots, listings scraping, and AI training. It's been a few days and not seeing any real problems, but give me a heads up if you notice any issues accessing the site!
Looked through the archives and discovered that our upcoming shows of Big Trouble in Little China Nov. 3 & 4 at @RoxyCinemaNYC are the first 35mm screenings in nearly 10 years. (Last was in 2017.) Don't miss it! roxycinemanewyork.com/screen…
The Devils re-release doubled the box office of Digger on a fraction of the screens, and it's biggest marketing cost was allegedly the $600 billboard (which is probably not true, but...). Even with the costs of the restoration, striking prints, staff overhead, it's a big win.
Also significant that this is not Casablanca or Singin' in the Rain, but a movie that was considered a stain on the WB's reputation. As a result I think we could more studios mining their back-catalogs for niche (by Casablanca standards) titles w prestige restoration treatments.
20 years from now there's gonna be a "Fall of '26" series that shows Harlem, Concrete, Digger, Primetime, YCSE, NAZA, The Devils uncut, and Resident Evil, plus The Social Reckoning, which misguided young people will for some reason argue is the true misunderstood masterpiece.
Also in The Devils lore: opening week of @SpectacleNYC in Oct. 2010 was Ken Russell's The Devils with Andrzej Żuławski's The Devil
