This guy has been mailing his film columns in from Lincoln for a long time, and nobody had ever met him or even laid eyes on him. He was horribly disfigured many years ago, when a projector blew up in his face, but even that little incident didn't diminish his love for "la cine," as we say in France...
...Explains Chartrand: "The machine moves the sun across the sky and accurately reproduces the movements both of the stars and the planets. In a sense it is a machine that can virtually take you any place in any time." The big steel dumbbell is a German-made Zeiss planetarium projector, 12 ft. high weighing 5,500 lbs., with 27,000 parts. Images are beamed up from the two large spheres at either end of the projector. Its control booth, situated at the edge of the auditorium, looks like the cockpit of a spaceship. A three-panel console has 150 buttons...
...those who missed Robert Altman's ICA presentation/disintegration last week, tough luck--it was almost worth the $4.50.

Specifically, they had quoted sources doubting the authenticity of a dissident's confession broadcast on Soviet...
...Feydeau farce should look like an old silent movie runoff on a modern projector. The characters must move and gesticulate as if controlled by a crazed puppet master and appear always to be running into each other, often at the least advisable moment. The production of 13 Rue de l'Amour at Manhattan's Circle in the Square comes creditably close to the Feydeau tempo and spirit, but it is difficult to orchestrate an arena stage to that crescendo of forbidden doors being opened and closed on which Feydeau depends...
