Some of this week's worthwile cinematic happenings around New York:

This is going to be a disaster, because Munich just claimed the last three hours of my life and I need a drink. However, I have an idea for a compromise: Why don't you come out to tonight's film blog panel at The Apple Store in SoHo, introduce yourself and I will provide custom-made recommendations especially for you. They will all probably involve some degree of King Kong or the Sunshine's midnight screenings of Raiders of the Lost Ark--both now bookending a slim quarter-century of quintessentially great escapist cinema--but we can mix and match and find something that fits you just right. And I know that "vigorous film-dork circle jerk" has been on the top of your Social Calendar Things-To-Do for a while now; I think this is what they call a "win-win" situation.

The "fun" starts tonight at 7:30 p.m. at 103 Prince Street. And "continues" afterward at IFC Center, where I hear I will have to supply a petition to gain entrance. Please do not forget to sign it, and I hope to see you there. Heckle early, and heckle often.
