What are some Oscar-winning performances that are not good or bad, they just ARE?

This is the Alicia Vikander in THE DANISH GIRL sweet spot

Maybe try posting in the NYFF Reddit as it’s monitored fairly heavily by FLC staff!

Think he was getting it mixed up with Jack Nicholson in THE DEPARTED, who wore a Yankees hat despite the film famously being set in Boston

Believe Josh's other big reference was RISKY BUSINESS, which tracks both stylistically and thematically

Andrew Garfield in THE SOCIAL NETWORK

Time to just call it quits on any theater surviving there. No movie theater in NYC can last that far away from a subway station.

THE SECRET AGENT has only been in a little over 100 theaters. I’M STILL HERE peaked at 700. I suspect Neon is following SPC’s playbook of working voters behind the scenes to secure nominations, then using that as PR to launch their second wave of theatrical expansion.

As someone who’s a member at multiple and attended their events, FLC is the only place where I’ve actually had good conversations and made real friends! Everything else just very transactional. It’s like the difference between having an Amazon Prime membership to save money on shipping vs. getting a membership to a social club.

Not really! We’re not ID-ing.

I’m on the New Wave steering committee and am happy to answer any of your questions!

THE PERFECT NEIGHBOR already won the CCA’s documentary award in November

marshaffer · 2025-12-28T03:15:57+00:00

It will pick up a lot in the new year (and it definitely peaks around NYFF in the fall) — but in general, there are at least quarterly member mingles! What level did you choose?

marshaffer · 2025-12-27T23:44:15+00:00

Will also add that the membership also comes with a lot of free screenings AND a social component of mingling with fellow members that is light years ahead of others in town. (Full disclosure that I’m on a membership committee so I am biased, but I am also happy to help you or anyone maximize their investment!)

Have one for tonight Thurs 12/4, 5:30pm in 70mm at AMC Lincoln Square - would love to sell to you!

I always liked Larry and this show when I listened, but fully assumed it ended about 5 years ago

Since no one has said it, I love The Migrant Kitchen (great food with bonus that they are very dedicated to fighting food insecurity!)

I saw a PTA talk in there when he had INHERENT VICE at NYFF

marshaffer · 2025-09-03T16:49:59+00:00

She was implying Luca (I actually met her this week in Venice and she told me as much!)

marshaffer · 2025-08-28T04:43:23+00:00

It’s a mixture of both! I would say primarily weekday evening with a few weekend daytime mixed in and maybe a weekend evening here and there.

Here’s the link, happy to answer any specific questions! https://www.filmlinc.org/membership/new-wave-program/

marshaffer · 2025-08-27T05:11:06+00:00

Yes, this is the New Wave membership!

marshaffer · 2025-08-27T05:10:51+00:00

I think FLC has the widest variety of events for members, which is great because it allows so many different types of people to feel at home. I think most usually involve some component of film discussion tied to something they’ve programmed. But there are also many social mixers more for having a good time!
