Just saw such a thing at the on-campus movie theater today and ERGH was it awesome!

Nothing like getting your eyes massaged by fantastic cinematography in a beautiful movie theater for two hours. Bliss.

Citizen Kane belongs on the big screen. As brilliant as it is on TV, until you see it in a theatre, you haven't seen it.

I saw a "restored version" of the movie in a local movie house years ago and half the audience ended up complaining that they couldn't see anything, as the new print registered too dark on the big screen. Too bad...and I haven't seen it listed for a while here in the Bay Area.

And just got back from a newly restored version of Jean-Pierre Melville's ARMY OF SHADOWS. I love this theater!

I once saw both of those on a double bill on a screen the size of three football fields. Until you've seen them on a screen the size of three football fields you've never seen them. It's like having a prostate massage with by a frozen cucumber.

I may be drunk, but I'm being serious.
I've seen this a few times, both on a TV screen, and I really didn't think it was the "best movie ever made".
Oh well.

CITIZEN KANE will be showing soon at the Ziegfeld as part of a Hollywood Classics series. See below:

I wish they were showing some more interesting movies, though. Is anyone really interested in seeing BATMAN on a big screen?
