This teaser slogan for Jonathan Parker's (Untitled) is straight out of Tom Wolfe's "The Painted Word," to wit: "Not 'seeing is believing,' you ninny, but 'believing is seeing,' for Modern Art has become completely literary: the paintings and other works exist only to illustrate the text."

I love that Corinth Fillns believes enough in people's interest in seeing a 61-year-old Vittorio DeSica classic in a modern-day movie theatre that will hit them up for $12 bucks plus popcorn and drinks. Seriously -- I really love this. This is basically New York City in a nutshell. You wouldn't see this ad in the Orlando Sentinel (or whatever the paper is called down there).

Yeah, but there are about 250,000 people in Orlando and over 8 million in New York. Of course there are more niche events.

I think it's more towards Wallace Stevens' "Not Ideas About the Thing But The Thing Itself"

I thought the correct title was "Bicycle Thieves".

Gordon27 says ...

I believe that "Bicycle Thieves" is the correct translation of the Italian title, yes. However, when it was released in America, 60 years ago, it was 'The Bicycle Thief', so I imagine the release is following that, figuring more people are familiar with that title than the one that is technically more correct.

Right -- I should have written "translation", not "title". I just figured once Criterion came out with the Bicycle THIEVES DVD a while back that there was no going back.

If I were in NYC this weekend, I'd go see THE BICYCLE THIEF in a theater since I haven't yet seen it.

And then I'd be at the Garden on Sunday for Springsteen and the E Street Band performing THE RIVER in its entirety.

Hey Burma, if you're going to actually click on his links (which is bad enough), try not to comment on them and actually keep enabling this fucking troll.
