OSCAR SHORTS
Magnolia Pictures and leading short film company Shorts International will again partner to bring Academy Award-nominated live action and animated short films to our Spielberg Theatre for a limited time. Specific shorts to be named and updated on our website www.americancinematheque.com when the nominations are announced as well as which filmmakers will appear in-person.

Saturday, February 24 – 4:00 PM [Spielberg Theatre]

We'll be meeting at the Egyptian at 3:30 to get tickets and seats.

Please respond to the Poll if you will be attending. We may be able to arrange the Member rate ($6) with AndrewP.

Afterwards, we will venture out in Hollywood for dinner at some fun place. Suggestions so far have been Geisha House, Micelli's, Chan Dara and/or Cocktails at Musso & Franks. Post if you have a restaurant suggestion.

There should be more information about what films will be shown and who will be making a personal appearance soon. I'll post as soon as I know.

I'm pretty done with Micheli's. I love the atmosphere, but the food is 'meh'

Oh, and be careful about cocktails at Musso & Franks: That place hasn't moved forward in time since the 1950's ... and the drinks were far more potent back then, apparently.

Make that 2 votes for Musso & Franks.

Cocktails at Musso and Franks is fine-- but not food!

Never been to Musso & Franks - so I do desire to have a cocktail there sometime, but the Geisha House is a place I've been longing to return to. What ever happened to Yamashiro - or is that beyond the realm of possibility for this swanking?

Yamashiro for the view, I found the food and the drinks in the immortal and dulcet tone of iSm to be meh and on the expensive side for merely mediocre food and drink. The view is spectacular.

Musso & Franks is a venerable spot, but given the choice for Italian on or off the Blvd. I'd take Miceli's over Musso's.

Geisha House appeals to me.

I'm very disappointed at that omission also. But if shorts are at 4:00 ...

Frankly, I'd rather do Yamashiro than the Oscar shorts.

Not Afraid · 01-30-2007, 08:13 PM

So, I forgot my OWN desire for Yamashiro. A coordinator's got desires too! Bawl.
