Christian Marclay’s The Clock returns to LACMA Saturday, July 25, 7 pm,
through Sunday, July 26, 7 pm. It's been over a decade already, since,
it was in LA.
The amazing piece of work might be on par with
getting into the Criterion Closet for a cinephile. Having logged in
check it out for a few minutes or as long as it can grab your
attention. Christian Marclay’s The Clock depicts time ( in real time)
from clips of cinema and television. Thousands of clips showcase time
accurately as though you were checking your watch. And, it's not
available online.
Now, LACMA is only staying open 24 hours twice
during this run. So, some clips will be harder to see and apparently it
never repeats itself in that 24 hour cycle which is kind of insane.
It's
costing you the same as admission to the museum and on top of that
reservation don't mean jack as it's a first come, first served
situation. You'll be in a faster line with membership, but if someone
can seat watching all the clock clips they won't be ask to leave.
You can get more details on it
here.

Check
out this ugly-a$$ posters for Evangelion. Not sure why GKids thought
that was good marketing, but also don't get why these are being shown in
the middle of the week. These two movies, subbed, are compilations of
the original series. The second film giving us a alternate ending that
ranks as one of the most utterly insane visuals in anime history.
* When looking up screenings, no one seems to care for the first film, just like it's always been.
