Upcoming Events, Aug 2007
So, August has nearly arrived. It will probably not contain any trips to rival July, though I am entertaining ideas for Labor Day weekend.
Before really launching into the list, I'd like to mention that before This Is England today at the IFC Center they showed a ridiculously great trailer for The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters. It's such a comedy goldmine that I have to wonder if there's anything left over for the film.
They also showed a trailer for The New Talkies (Aug 22- Sep 4), featuring some lively song by Guided by Voices (great t-shirt) that I didn't recognize because I don't listen to enough Guided by Voices.
MoMA's showing an unbelievable list of great stuff: two by Godard (Masculin/Feminin and Two or Three Things...), Mafioso, Billy Liar, Godzilla, Diary of a Chambermaid, Ruggles of Red Gap, Claude Chabrol's latest, The Necklace, and a interesting program called Automatic Update, from which I saw David Cronenberg's Crash on Saturday.
MoMI is also operating in high gear with a series of stuff from the 70's: Alan Arkin's Little Murders, Elaine May's The Heartbreak Kid, Sam Peckinpah's Straw Dogs, and Klute, among other things.
Anthology is hosting a Pedro Costa retrospective and screening The Bad and the Beautiful as well as The Beaver Trilogy. BAM's got a Hong Kong series and part of the New York Korean Film Festival. Hopefully I'll remember to go to a normal multiplex to see at least the Simpsons movie, The Bourne Ultimatum, and Stardust.
Playing music outdoors: Ted Leo/The Thermals, Glass Candy, Escort, The National, Camera Obscura, Battles, and The Hold Steady. Daft Punk & The Rapture are playing Coney Island the same night The Hold Steady play Prospect Park, but that already sold out so it's a pretty easy call. Oh, and Charles was on top of his game enough to get us tickets to LCD Soundsystem w/ The Arcade Fire in October, which should be pretty much the no-contest show of the year.

The only time I'll be on top of my game with anything music related this year.
So it turns out Les Savy Fav is opening for the LCD Soundsystem/Arcade Fire show. That might be the best show of several years.
Damn, that is going to be one awesome show.
