did you make it? everything sold out again. not sure what the capacity is on this

WorldForgot

I only grabbed TENET
U_U

And I already had my Hedwig/Velvet Goldmine outfit planned and everything >_<

jenkins

well geez I hope it had sold out is why you picked Tenet. please tell me what the capacity of the theater is when you see Tenet

also: why don't you wear that outfit to LA Plays Itself at the Nuart? that's a cool way for us to meet, and you know I'm all about normalizing adult movies. if some parts are a little too much to witness I'm going to do that thing of not closing my eyes but protecting my eyesight with my hand. the tickets aren't up for sale but I plan to be there with my friend and coworker

Do the tickets go on sale at a later date? I am considering it; one of my coworkers might dig the excursion haha

jenkins

yeah, the ticket sale is coming up, I'm waiting on word from nuart or altered innocence

yeah know, I can go all into adult movies and just this movie. let me begin with adult movies: it's simply a positive perspective you take in with you, that you're willing to like this movie for what it is. you don't ask it to be what it isn't. and I have traveled through enough of them to know that it is indeed like anime, more a medium than a genre. and this means there are different types of them, that make you feel different ways and do different things. dark adult movies are a whole thing, Memories Within Miss Maggie had a cult-famous campaign for Best Movie Oscar. it's too bad an Ebert review of that movie doesn't show up through google. anyway they're a whole their own thing, and once you get that it helps you get them. they can be anything.

in terms of LA Plays Itself honestly even its trailer makes me wonder if I even am strong enough for this world and it's got two high culture points: 1 His films Sex Garage and L.A. Plays Itself are the only gay pornographic movies in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art 2 LA Plays Itself was used as the title of the Thom Andersen video essay. that's both cultural appropriation and legit appreciation of the underseen. then its cool factor is under check because Altered Innocence saw its restoration through. it's not an old print, this is a 4K digital restoration. a fresh possibility. and this movie celebrates fisting. I'm seeing urine, leather. this will be a different kind of roller coaster than the roller coasters I'm used to, at the Nuart. nice

If you guys do this, I'm guessing we will hear about it in either the worst or the best theater experience thread.

But what do I know, you guys are in LA and maybe watching adult movie with strangers is the norm there.

Honestly, it soundz like fun. And although IRREVERSIBLE izn't exactly in the same vein - I do wonder how the opening 20/30minutes of Noe's film play on the perception of not only sex clubs, but of Adult entertainment's perceived aesthetics. Even in how the streets are lit.

It iz for some people~ or it was before pandemic. But I think that those venues largely died out even before I moved here. I used to walk by this joint all the time, though I never checked out the programming. As far as the history of those places go, and the depths of it as a medium, I'm glad for jenkins' thread and wilder + wilberfan's mentions of what are essential texts.

That joint was famously a Pussycat Theater back in the Halcion Days of Messers Horner,  James and Gondolli. Deep Throat ran there for eight years.

Sobering for me to consider I might be one of the only active Xixaxers with first...uh....hand, first-run experience with Golden Age Adult Cinema.  (Sounds like a good excuse for an invite-only AMA.)   :laughing:
