I went to the 2024 Cat Video Fest on a whim (since the first showing was right before A Matter of Life and Death) and it was such a delight to watch silly cat videos in a theater full of laughing people. It's playing at the Roxie several times over the next few weeks as well as in other places across the US (and the proceeds go to cat rescue organizations!).

#i had heard about it in past years but never actually gone #and of course amolad is one of my all-time favorite movies #a lovely evening from start to finish #i've been waffling on seeing i know where i'm going!#in part because of the temptation to make it a double feature with the 4k restoration of the seven samurai that is also showing that day #but i think i may have to for roger livesey reasons #not to mention the wendy hiller reasons #also i managed to have a normal conversation with people in the bathroom line afterwards #about things like what year the film was released and which character david attenborough played #and did not mention the electricity demands of the moving staircase #or that some critics thought the film was overly biased against the british #or that shortly after the film david niven's wife died while playing sardines at tyrone power's house #or the sundry other random facts my brain has tucked away
