Barnes & Noble is still having their 50% Off Criterion Sale so you can pick this up for $15 (or $20 on Blu-Ray). Most Chaplin DVDs go for like $30 so this is hella cheap. And it’s Criterion! Super official! Exclamation marks!

Danger: Diabolik
Directed by Mario Bava
1968
Dino De Laurentiis had a pretty great track record as a producer. Undoubtedly some of the best Italian and horror films ever made. That said, Diabolik is my favorite out of all the films he ever produced. It’s total 60’s camp but it stylishly (TECHNICOLOR!) combines comic books (fumettis), spy fiction, babes, guns, cars, explosions, plus Bava’s set design and a Morricone soundtrack in ways everyone has since copied.
Kill Bill Vol. 2 and Mulholland Drive were on VHS?

This movie finally gets the trailer and 70s style Serpico knockoff poster it deserves. It screens October 15th in NYC and the 22nd at the Egyptian Theatre in LA. Yes it’s really over 5 hours long and has an intermission (Lawrence of Arabia style) and is really that good. Definitely recommend seeing this if it’s playing in your town.
We passed by this sign one night after coming back from a bar in Cambridge and followed the directions which led us to some apartment/office type building nearby. We entered the building and it was totally dark except a flight of stairs and a door to my left. I figure the theatre was probably upstairs so I go up and take a look but it’s even darker so we decided to just go back down and leave. As soon as we were heading out, the other door opens and this Tor Johnson lookin dude comes out and asks us if we’re here to see the movies. Behind him was his living room and about 3 or 4 rows of fold-up chairs with no one sitting on them, with the flickering of whatever movie that was screening that night. Despite the creepy vibes, he was a nice enough guy though. I actually felt bad since nobody showed up to his movie night. Although, not bad enough since we just ended up saying bye and left with some of his flyers. But for all you cinephiles living between the Harvard/MIT area, the Back Alley Cinema is most likely the gulliest way for you to watch some cult films.
