The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing The Gold Rush starting at 8 p.m. and again on Sunday at 2 p.m. "The most famous man in the world in his most famous role: a Yukon tramp with dreams of striking it rich and an unrequited crush on a beautiful dance hall girl." This is a recent restoration!

The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing Weekend starting at 8 p.m. and again tomorrow at 5 p.m. According to the Eastman House calendar, "a picturesque postcard of provincial France gone homicidally wrong, Godard's acid vision of a bourgeois apocalypse still packs a sick wallop. Nominally about a typical couple plotting to collect an inheritance (and dismember each other) over the course of a weekend, their plans are interrupted by roadside cannibals, automotive orgies, and a mounting sense of regret."

The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing Portrait of Jennie starting at 8 p.m. According to the Eastman House calendar, "a struggling painter (Joseph Cotten) meets a young girl (Jennifer Jones) in Central Park who inspires a portrait and invigorates his career. She continues to visit him, but always preternaturally aged, and as the painter's affections deepen, he begins to wonder". Screened on the original nitrate (a treat enjoyed by visiting the Eastman House, and a few dozen other venues worldwide.)

The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing Chinatown starting at 8 p.m. From the Eastman House calendar, "a sun-dappled film noir for the '70s, replete with political paranoia, intricate conspiracies, and an energy crisis. Nicholson offers an uncharacteristically understated performance (his face bandaged for much of the film) as J.J. Gittes, the bedroom dick who suddenly finds himself sifting through mysterious real estate transfers for clues to an unfolding plot to control Los Angeles's water and its economy."

This page is Jason Olshefsky's list of things to do in Rochester, NY and the surrounding region (including nearby towns Irondequoit, Webster, Penfield, Pittsford, Victor, Henrietta, Gates, Chili, Greece, and Charlotte, and occasionally other places in Monroe County and the Western New York region.) It is updated every week with daily listings for entertainment, activities, performances, movies, music, bands, comedy, improv, poetry, storytelling, lectures, discussions, debates, theater, plays, and generally fun things to do.
Music events are usually original bands with occasional cover bands and DJ's with musical styles including punk, emo, ska, swing, rock, rock-and-roll, alternative, metal, jazz, blues, noise band, experimental music, folk, acoustic, and "world-beat."
Events listed take place during the day, in the evenings, or as part of the city's nightlife as listed.
Although I'm reluctant to admit it, it is a Rochester blog and I'm essentially blogging about Rochester events.
I also tend to express opinions, review past events, make reviews, speak of philosophy or of a philosophical nature, discuss humanity and creativity.
Oh, and it's spelled JayceLand with no space and a capital L, not Jayce Land, Jaycee Land, Jace Land, Jase Land, Joyce Land, Jayce World, Jayceeland, Jaceland, Jaseland, Joyceland, Jayceworld, Jayceeworld, Jaceworld, Jaseworld, nor Joyceworld. (Now if you misspell it in some search engine, you at least get a shot at finding it.)
It's also not to be confused with
Jake's World or JakesWorld which is a site of a Rochester animator.
