Jonas Mekas on Ken Jacobs' Star Spangled to Death:."This is all the America we live in, our home, the official America of the 20th century, here it is on the plate, so eat it and then vomit it all out. I live in another America, the America of my dreams."

Can Flash Gordon conquer the universe with this thing?.Find out today @MoMAFilm .

The year's most action-packed film program unspools @MoMAFilm tomorrow with The American Serial: 1914-1944, a five hour marathon of chapters from 15 serials, presented by Light Industry. There will be a beginning, an end, and a lot of exciting middles.

Free screening + Q&A with Embeth Davidtz, 6:30 tonight @MovingImageNYC. Inspired work as writer, director, actor, and producer by Davidtz; glad to be moderating the talk at my favorite museum.

The only episodes of Nic Rapold's great podcast that I refuse to listen to are the ones I'm on.

If you're not coming to MoMA today, it better be because you're at @movingimagenyc seeing @reverse_shot discussing Tea and Sympathy at 3:30 and buying his great new book Sick and Dirty.

It's @MovingImageNYC at @MoMAFilm day in A Theater Near You, (aka solipsistic Sunday) as I introduce Cronenberg's VIDEODROME at 1:00 (along with his delightful 1976 short THE ITALIAN MACHINE), and Akerman's neglected 2011 gem ALMAYER'S FOLLY at 4:00.

Best author photo ever?.

Thrilled to have legendary programmer Fabiano Canosa present this @MoMAFilm at 6:30 p.m. Bertolucci's first major film, written by Pasolini. Fabiano's programming at the Public Theater was unparalleled in its range and excellence. He was NY's Langlois.

Pink Flamingos tonight at @MoMAFilm, in a 35mm print from their collection! Intro by @DeuceFilmSeries's own Joseph A. Berger.

Thursday 6/19 @moma_film: Fabiano Canosa in person for a celebration of his great Film at the Public programming; screenings of Gabriel Over the White House and Bertolucci's La Commare Secca.

Big day @MoMAFilm today: 1pm-RULES OF THE GAME intro by Phillip Lopate; 4pm-SULLIVAN'S TRAVELS+discussion with Bruce Goldstein; 7pm Cinema 16 Amos Vogel program: FIREWORKS+VAMPYR+BLOOD OF THE BEASTS.(

Created a Letterboxd list for the MoMA series A THEATER NEAR YOU: @letterboxd:

Tonight at 7:00! Karen Cooper--a film hero--who ran and programmed @FilmForumNYC for more than 50 years (!!!) will introduce Chris Marker's Sans Soleil @MoMAFilm.

Very kind…from a writer whose work I always enjoy!.

Big thanks to my favorite website, @ScreenSlate.

Incredible round-up by the great David Hudson @criteriondaily. Enormous thanks!.

Wrote a piece for MoMA--@MoMAFilm (not to be confused with MoMI--@movingimagenyc, my long-time stomping grounds) about the series A Theater Near You, which kicks off on Thursday.

A THEATER NEAR YOU, my MoMA series about NYC's great indie film theaters, opens next Thursday, paying homage to Iris Barry and the birth of MoMA's film program. Sternberg's THE LAST COMMAND and Pudovkin's CHESS FEVER, with live piano by @unpianistique!

Congrats to @edogoesboating on this wonderful news. It's no accident that he's programmed for four great venues: @docfilmschicago, @mayslescinema, @movingimageNYC, and now @Metrograph.
