O’Leary has less than wonderful thoughts about how AI could have helped Marty Supreme

I mean, he's a huge asshole. But this is an excellent movie and he's great in it playing a variation of himself (as a solid majority of the cast is)

Safdie said that he cast O’Leary because he needed someone the viewer immediately and instinctually did not like or trust (he was looking at other real businessmen too), fine and dandy until he’s back out in the real world talking about it, or anything. He’s not the only Republican piece of shit in it either, I learned from Letterboxd a little bit ago that David Mamet has a role!

And none of this should be construed as points against how excited I am for it (I’m sure I’ll have a good laugh whenever Mamet pops up). I dunno if any Safdie thing can match how electrified and moved Uncut Gems made me at the time, but the response is somehow even more positive.

The Gristedes guy Catsamidis is in it too. There are a lot of slimy businessmen playing slimy businessmen in the film, though to my recollection Mamet is like an announcer character or something similar?

O'Leary being a total shit when talking about the movie (as with everything else) feeds nicely into the impression that one is apparently supposed to have of his character.

That said, I doubt the "I hired shitty people to play shitty people" reason is the only one; Josh Safdie likes to rile people up as well, and given that he knows his audience, this sort of stunt casting is one part of that.

No dedicated thread for this yet but apparently 70mm prints are being made for this.

I think every Safdie film has a 35mm print circulating, so I’m not surprised by this considering it sells tickets. I wonder who will run it? Between the 70mm screenings of One Battle After Another still doing well, the Kill Bill rerelease, and The Testament of Ann Lee, the few venues that run 70mm consistently in Los Angeles are booked. New York seems the same. I know other theaters have 70mm projectors installed basically for Christopher Nolan films, so I wonder if any of those that have been collecting dust since Oppenheimer will be used.

In LA? In SF/SJ they disappeared [Alamo Drafthouse] after a week or two, same with Frankenstein, In fact I don't know of any current 70mm screenings locally (and forget about Vista Vision), though Imax/digital abounds. I still have yet to test the myriad of digital choices: Real 3D vs Laser vs XL Vs Dolby 3D Atmos, I can't keep up with them all.

The Vistavision screenings at the Vista were pretty much sold out until the end (I can attest to being at a sold out screening the day before it left) and the AMC in Burbank continues to run it three times a day on their 70mm equipped screen

Not to go completely off-topic, but the premium-format showings all did great in NY too. It was impossible to see it in IMAX 70mm unless you bought a ticket the day they dropped (and in spite of having seen it twice in two premium formats neither of them were IMAX) and generally pretty difficult to see in VistaVision or regular 70mm. The opposite was true of the regular digital screenings: past the first weekend, the movie did not do amazingly well there.

I'm not sure how all this shakes out for the theaters themselves. Owing to the significant contraction in their numbers in the US over the last 20 or so years (there are something like 2/3 as many as there were in 2005), I wouldn't be surprised if they pivot more and more towards premium format screens. Certainly it seems like many directors are leaning on VistaVision specifically as a method of making movies that can be blown up to IMAX 70mm without accepting the limitations that come from filming on 70mm or IMAX. Not that VistaVision doesn't have limitations of its own - the film moves much faster through the camera, but the magazines are no larger, making the maximum length of a take much shorter. (The two really long takes in The Brutalist were shot with a regular 35mm camera).

And now it looks like tickets are on sale for 70mm screenings in NYC, which interestingly starts on 12/18.

Tickets went on sale for Los Angeles today. It'll play at the AMC Burbank 16 presumably for only one week as The Testament of Ann Lee is booked the 25th onward. Not sure how New York got it in three venues, but I wonder if it will expand elsewhere or play on 35mm at the Alamo Drafthouse.

For some reason the Wall Street Journal did a full profile of Chalamet’s middle aged stalker

More importantly, the review embargo lifted yesterday and has been getting very strong notices (besides a pan from TIME).

Yes, as annoying as I found his Oscar thirst to be last season, it looks like he’ll prob win over DiCaprio (and it sounds like winning for this film would not be an embarrassment)

70mm tix just went on sale at the Coolidge Corner theatre in Boston

I saw the trailer today in a theater. Unlike Uncut Gems which I didn't like this looks like something that I might

Tickets for the 70mm screening at Cineplex Varsity in Toronto have been released as well.

According to this article from Deadline, they will be giving out limited edition posters and Marty Supreme ping pong balls out to people who buy tickets for the 70mm engagement.
