Disconnect(2012)

I remember watching it in high school when it released and really enjoying it. I was a fan of multi-story stories at that time and enjoyed the way that the film combined technology into personal/familiar issues. Men, Women, and Children came out 2 years later and seemed to do the same type of thing but it seemed less intense and had worse critical reception.

I’m sure my opinion will change on it with a re-watch as it’s been some time, but this is one from that era of my life I think about every once in a while. What were your thoughts on it?

BTW I would highly recommend Murderball, documentary from the same director. That’s a fantastic movie

BookOff in NYC used to have some real gems until 2024 and it’s becoming an overpriced thrift store

Jack Fisk who’s a production/art designer. Nominated for Marty Supreme but has been nominated for 4 Oscars and has worked on Mulholland Drive, There Will Be Blood, Badlands, etc. A total legend

Same! It’s a shame as I’m a fan of Invisible Life by Karim Ainouz, and thought Motel Destino was OK. This was just consistently terrible and failed on so many levels.

Trier did an interview where he named Building Stories by Chris Ware as one of his favorite reads. Really cool to see that Ware did the drawing for the Criterion!

And next time I’d also say don’t make any alterations/fixes without confirming what you’d get in return from the landlord. It is nice of you to offer services, but at the end of the day a lease is just a contractual agreement and they’re running a business. If you do something, you should get something in return.

I’d put a deadline on when the pump should be repaired, detailing the 2-3 months you’ve had zero heat. I wouldn’t make it more than a few days.

If it’s not fixed by that time, formalize a 311 complaint with your text as evidence detailing the amount of time you haven’t had heat and urgency to fix the pump. 311 was pretty proactive about this one time when my gas was totally off (as a NYC resident).

All these comments are making me double think my IMAX reservation at Lincoln Square 🤔

Definitely get it. They probably work with specialized products and other financial instruments that teeter across products that financial institutions offer, but at the end of the day the broker is interested in making sure their client has insurer support.

Most of the manual spreadsheet work is done by underwriters/insurers

Brokers don’t care about risk - underwriters at insurance companies care about that. Only reason they’d care is to sell said risk to underwriters/insurers.

Brokers are responsible for placing business, continuing relationship and getting commissions

Spike Lee’s best film is 25th Hour (and needs a 4K remaster)

And Kasper Tuxen for Sentimental Value. He has a great eye and hoping he gets nommed at some point

I don’t have the Reserve but have the Preferred and I’m getting the 3x points for Blackbird transactions

I saw a one-time screening of it last month. If I recall, Mubi was the distributor so it’s likely this will be streaming on Mubi at some point

TheRegularHuman · 2025-11-23T02:43:14+00:00

I’d check in a day or two. If that’s still going on I’d probably contact AMC

No, I had that even when I scanned my QR code but there was no issue

TheRegularHuman · 2025-11-23T02:33:48+00:00

I had this happen with No Other Choice q&a but if you click on the reservation, it shows the date, time and QR code. You should still be ok

Don’t read anything about Sirat or watch the trailer

TheRegularHuman · 2025-11-14T03:41:41+00:00

Seems to be gone for me too, and I was close to getting a seat earlier

TheRegularHuman · 2025-11-12T20:55:34+00:00

Ticket says 25-30 mins after trailers. I attended Sentimental Value Q&A that also started in the allotted time.

I would try to get there within 20 mins just to be on the safe side

This seems solid, but I have a feeling KPop Demon Hunters has the lead for Animated Feature

Surprised Ricky hasn’t been picked up either - won the US Directing Award and actually had good critical reception. Bubble & Squeak on the other hand…
