Concerning the Art House Reading

I find the concept of the microcinema brilliant. Many cinephiles such as myself struggle to see lesser known films on the big screen (I would like to see Lars Von Trier's latest film Antichrist on the big screen, but that aint gonna happen here in wilmywood because audiences would flee in terror), but it is not practical due to the existence of pop culture. One of my favorite theater experiences occurred when I saw David Lynch's INLAND EMPIRE (yeah he wants it in all caps) at Thalian Hall one night. There were probably 15 people in attendance, all of varying ages, and after the film ended, we all talked about it afterwards for at least 15 minutes. That wouldn't happen after a showing at mayfaire. I think it would be awesome to start a weekly or monthly screening (even if it is at my apartment for example) for fellow cinephiles to kick back and relax to films that are not widely seen on dvd and then discuss them. Hmmm. Maybe....
