I watched a Bogie film last night too:

Saw Twelve Monkeys in the theatre last night.  Still packs a punch.  I forgot that it was directed by Gilliam.

Am hoping to see the latest Knives Out outing, Wake Up Dead Man before it goes exclusive to Netflix.  I might make it out on Sat.

I saw it last night. It's a fun movie like the first two.

Incredible movie about the Stasi and what it did to people.

TIFF is having a Mikio Naruse retrospective.  I've managed to book tickets for 4 of the films and am trying to see 3 more (which are currently sold out, but tickets generally are released a few days ahead of each screening).

So far I saw When a Woman Ascends the Stairs and then today, Floating Clouds, which was far too melodramatic for my taste.

Went to see "Sentimental Value." Quiet film, nicely written, beautifully acted.

Watched North by Northwest (on 70 mm!) yesterday afternoon, then followed it up with an evening screening of Wake Up Dead Man.

Where'd you see it in 70mm?  (IIRC-- and I often don't-- it was shot in VistaVision.)

TIFF in Toronto.  They claim it was a 70 mm print.  And then next week Vertigo in 70 mm.

NxNW was indeed shot in VistaVision. The original VV negative was scanned at 13k and that scan was then used to create a new 65mm negative, which the 70mm print that was screened at TIFF was then printed from. 

Looks like it will be screened in Beverly Hills next month and in NYC in February:

Thanks.  IIRC (and again, I often don't), Vertigo was also shot in VistaVision and I saw it screened at the Academy's Goldwyn Theater several years ago.
