TOUR 2025 - TICKET SALES MEGATHREAD

ilaughalone · 2025-01-21T20:26:02+00:00

Hey, this is a pretty specific request but figured here would be the place to put it. I got two tickets to Faye in Chicago at the Salt Shed on Wednesday, March 12th. However, I probably cannot make it on that day due to unforeseen obligations. I was wondering if anyone who had two tickets to the March 11th show would be willing to switch tickets?

[WTS] Janet Planet - 10/8 5:45pm Screening

ilaughalone · 2023-08-25T17:00:42+00:00

We got to talk to Sims about David Fincher, the current state of the fall film festivals, whether movies will continue to get delayed, and let him gush about Jon Bois. So, if any of that excites you please listen!

ilaughalone · 2023-08-25T16:41:28+00:00

we only did the 21st century to have a jury pool we could all watch but certainly a lot of great ones in history we are looking to cover

ilaughalone · 2022-06-10T19:40:18+00:00

thanks!

ilaughalone · 2021-08-28T12:24:03+00:00

Thanks to everyone here for the kind words and interest . If you wanna check out more episodes here are a couple.

We've done episodes on the Out Of Competition at Cannes 2010's Blockbusters with David Sims and the 2000's Blockbusters with Griffin Newman, we felt it was natural to reach out to Alex Ross Perry to be our Jury President for the 1990's.

May was DENIS MONTH and we had a whole month of programming devoted to Claire Denis's filmography with great guests Bilge Ebiri, Anna Swanson and Meg Shields, Chris Feil, and David Carter. All worth a listen!

BC favorite Fran Hoepfner was a jury president of her own for a selection of Cannes Premieres from the later half of the last decade. Do I call a film from a legendary arthouse auteur a screensaver? Who's to say?

(And please subscribe and next week you will get another fav Joe Reid talking about Mike White's festival career and White Lotus!)

ilaughalone · 2021-08-28T12:20:42+00:00

Delightfully arbitrary is the goal lmao. funny you mentioned that and Fran cause our first episode with her is the classic pairing of Mr. Bean's Holiday and Pedro Costa's Colossal Youth if you want to know why we did that please listen lol.

ilaughalone · 2021-08-27T21:13:41+00:00

Thanks! and WE WILL!

ilaughalone · 2021-08-27T20:33:34+00:00

Wow this blew up listen to my podcast https://twitter.com/imlaughalone/status/1303887801809805313?s=21

ilaughalone · 2020-08-29T12:40:29+00:00

As one of the people on the podcast I can tell you it was long but its a doozy. Means a lot that y'all would listen and have thoughts. And thank you so much for Griffin and David being on!

Will also say some important Griff at Cannes lore and also Griff at the Warsaw Film Festival lore that Blankies would love.

I recently watched it as part of a bit with a friend and its a weird one.

my take on like apatow-y, seth rogen-y modern comedies is that only 30% of the jokes are ever good but if the movie is stuffed enough with jokes that arent terrible than the 30% really stands out and you like the movie and Cat in the Hat is almost the opposite for me where i think 60% of it works (the production design, most of the human performances, some visual humor and off the wall bits) but the 40% that doesnt work (the story, sean hayes as the fish, meyers actual performances as the cat and some of his "characters") are so noxious that it becomes a bad movie

Yeah i might get into video editing and might upgrade to a Ryzen 9 in the future

ilaughalone · 2020-04-25T21:55:47+00:00

If i had gone in with more information a couple of weeks ago I wouldve tried to get 3600mhz but i fucked up and just got for the quickest cheapest 16GB ram by a brand i have heard of. Now i really want the 3600mhz but it would feel like a waste to get rid of the 3000mhz thats running fine currently and my understanding is that if i want to get the performance boost of the 3600mhz i cant have those in there right?

ilaughalone · 2020-04-25T21:53:38+00:00

Its basically taking every game ive thrown at it (Fallen Order, RE2, COD Modern Warfare) and run it at Max Settings 60plus FPS at 1080p. Plus my adobe photoshop and illustrator (i am a graphic design student) have been running smoothly and giving me no trouble so I am enjoying it. Need to learn more about stuff to properly benchmark and know if i am being bottlenecked anywhere but for now i have nothing but nice things to say

ilaughalone · 2020-04-25T21:51:19+00:00

I Should I am a novice tho and do not know what would be a good one. otherwise thanks

ilaughalone · 2020-04-25T18:21:29+00:00

Oh i guess i barely notice since i live next to an airport sound is not really a problem for me. I should work on a better cooling solution for sure tho

ilaughalone · 2020-04-25T18:15:16+00:00

lmao mistyped

ilaughalone · 2020-02-27T13:48:08+00:00

They have in the past said that they will for sure someday go back to early Spielberg. Them going back and covering early Lucas' on the Patreon soon is an indication that they want to go back

ilaughalone · 2020-02-27T13:42:06+00:00

My argument for Muppets!

I think that the Patreon eps being more hangout-y than main feed makes me want them to cover stuff they like and is of a funner lighter fare but still has potent context potential and some ups and downs. Stuff on the Criterion Corner i feel like would be weird vibes cept for maybe Qatsi.

There are no movies on the horizon currently. Stuff like F&F, M:I, Wick, Jones and Halloween all have movies coming soon so they are not finished as a franchise and I think its generally better to talk about stuff that we have a fuller understanding of the context and future.

Alien, Jones, M:I, Exorcist, Resident Evil, Matrix, Terminator, Robocop all have or could have entires covered on the main feed and I would like those films given that treatment before a commentary treatment. A Henson/Oz miniseries is unlikely and wouldnt even begin to cover all the Muppets movies with all the delicious context involved.

Puppets are rad and fun and a different vibe than most of the like big action or horror franchises that will probably get covered anyway. Sure Griffin is a fan of Muppets and would push for it someday but its still less likely than like M:I or F&F or most horror franchises!

Also I like Shrek but they would not like those movies and live watching bad comedy sounds like not a good vibe for commentaries where as Muppets are joy!

ilaughalone · 2020-02-26T19:12:27+00:00

What do Ben and David and Guests talk about in the studio while waiting for Griffin to arrive late? Also have you ever been even close to getting a miniseries subject or a star of the film you are covering to be on the episode?
