NEW LOCATION! RED DRAGON BAR AND RESTAURANT!

Black Sheep has suddenly announced that it is closing as of 11/30, so we have to find a new location. Please remember to check back here, we will find a new place and let you know shortly.

We're watching Husbands SECOND instead of first, so 12/6/24. We're finally going to take some time to watch the movies of the greatest independent filmmaker, John Cassavetes. We'll watch 5. Not all of them, but I think the most important ones. (Some people might object to not including Gloria or Killing of a Chinese Bookie, but while they're both great, I don't think they represent Cassavetes as well as the others we'll watch.)

Husbands (1970). If you love Peter Falk, this one will be even harder to watch than Mikey and Nicky was. (Fortunately we'll have a little reprieve with Minnie and Moskowitz before diving off the deep end again.) Cassavetes is great.

As always, a free link to the movie is available on the website, https://gregoryberry.net/cassavetes

We will meet on Friday, December 6, 2024, at 8PM, at RED DRAGON BAR AND RESTAURANT, on Lyndale just north of 22nd Street, our new regular place. HUGE drinks, and Chinese food as well. See you there!

If you managed to still like Peter "Slip Me the Tongue" Falk after Husbands, this movie will be the final nail in the coffin. Gena Rowlands is amazing (she was nominated for this movie), and Peter Falk is again unbelievable (this will be our THIRD Peter Falk movie! He's a sumanabitch in every one!) I would say this is probably Cassavetes's most famous movie (he was nominated for Best Director as well). In some ways it's the most straightforward, but in some ways it's the most difficult to watch.

Story of husband and wife acting family whose deteriorating marriage plays out both behind the scenes and on stage.

Cassavetes's final film. (It's not really his final film; it's his final independent Cassavetes film. He made one more in 1986 called Big Trouble, but it's a Hollywood director-for-hire call-in movie.)
