Hello all,
Abbott here. Nancy and I have managed our Escape From New York after time
in the Apple. It was a good visit- brief. Saw some marvelous stuff and stuffed
ourselves with great food as we visited with a dear friend, - and then got the
Hell outta there.
Nancy leaves for Copenhagen today, nursing a cold, worse luck. I will hold
the fort. Both of us are now so into things here and there and out of it re
Cinex that I doubt we'll be able to do much as time goes on. Nevertheless, if a
film is to be screened at the Square and you would like more feed back, let us
know - that is, keep us on the email list.
Best wishes to all! A

As much as it might simplify some things for everyone this coming week, we do
have quite a few films to watch and quite a few other films on our list to
consider so I’m not convinced that skipping a week is a good idea. If we do
that, we would definitely need to commit to using the links to stream the films
and watch them at home. Obviously some folks may need to watch some or all of
the films that way depending on their personal schedules. I’d like to have
people address when they would be available next week to see if we can find one
or two days when we would likely have a fairly representative turnout for
screenings/meetings.
I’m not sure how it would for the meeting, but we were working on being able
to set something up so that Bill could attend a meeting remotely from home.
Bill, that might not resolve your scheduling issues, but hopefully that would
help.
Thanks,
Joel

I'm doing a vet's day tradition Thursday & Friday - push back against
"patriot" scoundrels. Will probably be too exhausted on Wednesday - unless the
results are clear early, which is looking doubtful. Anybody feel O.K. With
skipping a week? (I promise to do my homework.)

Ken has been very helpful and we now have five links with which to stream
films. We also have learned that “COMMAND AND CONTROL” does broadcast on PBS as
an “American Experience” in January and is unavailable. I have removed this
from our lists. We have four films from Abramorama. One is a new film called
“BEST WORST THING THAT EVER COULD HAVE HAPPENED...”. The IMDb synopsis: “This
film from acclaimed theater director Lonny Price charts the journey of the
original cast of Stephen Sondheim's "Merrily We Roll Along" in the 30-plus
years since the musical debuted on Broadway at the Alvin Theatre in 1981.” I
have added this to our lists. We also now have a link for “THE ANTHROPOLOGIST.”
We have also inquired about “OFF THE RAILS.” We are waiting for a return e-mail
from them.
I don’t know if we may encounter similar problems if we try to project the
streaming onto the big screen that we experienced with “COMING THROUGH THE RYE”
or not. Five films and possibly one more is quite a bit to schedule for group
screenings. Alan, can you check their suitability for a group screening. I
don’t know what else may be going on at the Square this week, but who would be
available Wednesday, Thursday, and/or Friday (There’s almost a tradition for us
to screen something on Veterans Day) mornings. Probably the best advice would
be to watch them on your own at home if you are comfortable doing that since
there are so many.
