A better bet would be Girls Rock!

(and if any real friends need, I could get tix to see one of the girls in it perform before the show itself)

Gurl, you are so out of control with all the italic-bold combos.

Pierrot le Fou is probably playing because it was just rereleased on DVD.

Is the United Artists schedule on the SIFF website & I am blind, or were the details just in a press release?

I can tell you that Le Doulos and Pierrot Le Fou both are screening because they fit the program (BELMONDO vs. MASTROIANNI) perfectly, as well as the fact that they weren't seen by nearly enough people on recent outings. I went to both films and sat in lonely auditoriums. I hope this will bring more attention to these works and will be an exciting way for film goers to engage them; through the lens of the actor who stars in them.

@2: Yeah, well. It looks better in This Weekend @ the Movies, no?

If you haven't seen it, you really should see The Thomas Crown Affair. Man, that chess playing ...

Anyone care to point out that Annie Hall and Manhattan have both also seen recent week long revivals. So soon?

My, people are touchy today. The whole UA program is boring, in my opinion. They're leaving out the smaller-scale stuff that's screening in the NYC version (http://www.filmforum.org/films/unitedartists.html). But I don't particularly like any of these distributor series that SIFF Cinema is doing--the Kino one was totally random, and most of the Rialto movies, while comprising a more coherent program, had screened here within the last couple of years.

How can you do a UA program without Heaven's Gate?

@10 Heaven's Gate, the film that destroyed the company... let's celebrate!

The thing about these distributor series that I like is that they make good excuses to replicate old-style repertory programming, with a wide variety of films playing in any given week. The UA stuff may be mostly overexposed, but as a Seattle movie buff for 28 years, I think these may be the first theatrical screenings of Thomas Crown, Marty, Nuremberg and probably The Great Escape since at least 1980. It's debatable if any of them really deserve it, but I'll definitely be in the audience for all of them (none of which I've even seen on video).
