Unfortunately had a last minute change of plans and I’m going upstate tonight, so missing my screening at 7:45. Literally bought this a month before too 🥲 missing out on the Q&A but would love to sell my ticket to someone who actually wants to go instead of refunding kinda last minute. It’s at AMC Magic Johnson in Harlem! ♥️

Tickets Here.

Weaving is also doing an intro for the 9:40pm screening.

How do you all usually find out what you want to watch? And what additional research do you do?

For me for example, I'm checking the AMC app, rotten tomatoes, and the Angelika newsletter. Then, I'm doing research on ratings, movie formats, languages, etc. Or I see buzz on X.

Do you wish any of this could be aggregated or simplified for you?

This is not live yet, but here's the description:

"Live from the AMC Lincoln Square IMAX in New York, Steven Spielberg and Emily Blunt will gather to celebrate the launch of Disclosure Day and treat fans to an exclusive Q&A followed by a screening of the film."

It sounds like this might be live streamed across the country, but would live for the Lincoln Square IMAX audience. My guess is when these tickets to go on sale, they'll sell out in like 5 minutes.

"Tribeca Film Festival" often conjures thoughts of bougie thousand-dollar movie passes or famous people schmoozing at The Odeon. But after exploring the last few years, New York Groove contributor Valerie Askinazi is happy to share that the Tribeca Festival (as it’s now officially known) can also be fun for local New Yorkers. She put together a guide on hacking the fest for first-timers. Some highlights:

• Free events: There will be free outdoor screenings of previous Tribeca favorites like Jiro Dreams of Sushi and high-fashion documentary Dior and I next to the Vessel in Hudson Yards. 
• Weekday matinee pass: This is $100 + $10 fee, so $110 total. A matinee movie costs $16 + $4 fee, so the pass is worth it if you plan to see at least six movies.
• Rush tickets: Tribeca reserves a certain number of seats at each showing for unlimited pass-holders (people who can go to whatever films they want without reserving tickets beforehand). There’s a good chance that not all seats are filled and that tickets will be sold to the rush line.

She also put together her picks for this year's fest, including:

• Mario, a documentary on Mario Cuomo, and New York in the 1980s.
• The Last Play at Shea (free), a 2010 documentary about Billy Joel’s final shows at Shea Stadium before it was demolished.
• Doc Meets World, a documentary for fans of the ‘90s TV show Boy Meets World.
• Never Change, a comedy about returning to high-school in your 30s (with a local cast, including the great Jo Firestone).

Check out the whole guide here if you've never tried the festival before, and let us know if you have other picks we missed.

$30 for both tix

How does one, of their own volition, buy an imax ticket to a 16 year old film with subtitles, at one of the most iconic screens in new york, but also has so little respect for film or the people in the room with you that you also had to squeeze in a couple tiktoks? Check all your text messages? Like genuinely amazed how someone could thread that particular venn diagram.

No I did not say anything, as ive learned, no matter how politely you ask other people they lash out like crazy. Dire scenes out there folks.

Arrietty amazing tho. I said dubbed but I meant subbed. Whoops!

Tickets Here.

(Since a Tribeca Film Festival Megathread does not exist yet) Found out I have to travel out of town during Tribeca Film Festival, but I have tickets to 2 great premieres and I was hoping a fellow NYC cinephile might want to take them off my hands! Please message me if you're interested, I would hate for them to go to waste.

EDIT: JUST SOLD Saturday June 6 at 5pm EST: Happy Hours (1st screening premiere, Sold Out). This is the Katie Holmes & Joshua Jackson romantic drama. OXK Theater at BMCC Tribeca Performing Arts Center (199 Chambers St). One General Admission Tier 3 ticket. I paid $38, I'd be happy to sell for $30.

EDIT: JUST SOLD Saturday June 6 at 8pm EST: The Last Day (1st screening premiere) This is an Alicia Vikander, Victoria Pedretti and Wagner Moura drama about 2 mothers in NYC whose lives intertwine in a modern day interpretation of Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway. OXK Theater at BMCC Tribeca Performing Arts Center (199 Chambers St). One General Admission Tier 3 ticket. I paid $37, I'd be happy to sell for $30.

I tried posting this earlier but it was deleted by Reddit's filters. I think it's because I included the Paris Theater's direct link to RSVP. They do this whenever they give out free tickets to certain screenings, but you basically go to the RSVP page and give your contact info and how many tickets you want (one or two). Then they put you on a list and they'll email you to confirm all this. It's first come, first serve, and when you show up at the theater, they'll let you know which seats to take.

I'm not sure if the RSVP link can be posted, but FWIW, if you go on Facebook, look for the Paris Theater's Facebook ad for this offer, and that ad will have the link.

EDIT: See the comments, but dordotson was able to post a working link.

Hypothetically,
If someone arrived on time and during previews they pull out a half eaten lukewarm bowl of spicy tonkatsu ramen next to u and unlid it and then as the movie begins they start eating, would it be upsetting? Has this happened to u before??

I'm heading to NYC next week and was very delighted to come across this sub. I've perused all of the events that are posted, but my question is: are there any theaters worth visiting on their own right? For example, if I did not have the time to commit and watch a film at a given showtime, but had 30 minutes to an hour to kill, are there theaters that are museum-like or worth visiting standalone? Or any with resources for filmmakers.

Any specific pointers are greatly appreciated. My interests capture all of filmmaking.

Thank you!!!

EDIT: These responses are so wonderful! Thank you for taking the time to suggest so many awesome opportunities & places!! I’ll update this post after the trip on where I ended up going.
