We are also bringing back the intermission. Not for bathroom breaks. For discussion . cinefreak.met

Long live the grain. Long live the splices. Long live the Freaks. — "We don't stream. We project." Next screening: A beat-up 16mm print of John Carpenter’s ‘The Thing’ (no subtitles, no AC, full paranoia). Tickets via Discord only. By: Marcus “The Reelist” Thorne Published: 4 hours

The multiplex is dying. The streaming giants are bleeding subscribers. But the warehouse theaters, the film societies, the bootleg 35mm collectors? We are growing. Long live the grain

Streaming was supposed to be the endgame. Why pay $18 for a ticket when you can watch Dune: Part Two on your phone while pooping? The suits at Warner Bros. Discovery Paramount Global (or whatever they’re calling the conglomerate this week) bet the farm on convenience. But convenience is a ghost. It has no texture.

We lock the doors. We pour cheap whiskey into plastic cups. We argue. Did Deckard actually save the unicorn? Does the tachometer in Bullitt actually sync with the engine revs? We are turning passive viewing into active obsession.
