Wait a minute, if you're showing Cronenberg's CRASH, that implies it's "inferior" to the 2004 film?????? That's funnier than a Sturges' gag. >showing inferior movies with the same titles as famous, celebrated movies.

Wait a minute, if you’re showing Cronenberg’s CRASH, that implies it’s “inferior” to the 2004 film?????? That’s funnier than a Sturges’ gag.

The Da Vinci Code was publicised with the slogan "Be a part of the phenomenon," and that does seem to be a central motivation in mass market cinema -- see what everyone else is seeing. Hopefully the people who come here are more interested in what NOBODY is seeing! People seem to only want to see things that everybody else is seeing.

I go to Emory's 35mm film screenings of classic films and find myself there alone, and even the Landmark's cult/midnight screening series was cancelled due to lack of attendance. Or maybe they just don't advertise enough, since the George Kuchar screening last month was well attended. Oh yes, Mr and Mrs Smith. And Cronenberg's CRASH should clear the theater. Look at me trying to attract people to the theaters AND scare them away at the same time. It’s not Marilyn’s fault - nothing available on DVD is a draw anymore.
