QUOTES ABOUT US
|
||||
| "It's strictly an underground operation ...." - Bay Guardian | ||||
| " Not quite private, not quite public The Danger & Despair Knitting Circle meets once a week ....... you can learn the | ||||
| location only through email. The secrecy and feeling of transgressing, even paranoia, is classic noir in it's self." | ||||
|
- Barbara Tannenbalm San Francisco Magazine |
||||
|
"They are nothing more than a bunch of pirate exhibitors... " - a Bay Area Programmer (who will remind anonymous!) |
||||
|
"Paul Meienberg and "Dark" Marc Dolezal have teamed up to bridge the noir-flick gap with their Thursday night series ... |
||||
| each week noir fans view 16mm copies of movies so obscure they'll never be found at Blockbuster, and listen to | ||||
| erudite commentary from savvy film historians." - SF Weekly | ||||
|
|
||||
|
"Several times a year a shadowy group of film noir aficionados operating as the Danger and Despair Knitting Circle — |
||||
| a reference, for novices, to Out of the Past — surfaces on Thursdays nights to screen classic, offbeat, and plain | ||||
| obscure film noir for everyone's favorite admission price: free! " - Bay Guardian | ||||
|
"A dame with a rod is like a guy with a knitting needle." Dark Marc Dolezal built his supernal noir website, and perhaps his |
||||
| very dark weltanschauung, around that line. This is the most rarefied of film noir sites: "The Blackboard" is a discussion | ||||
| group of the highest order—where no topic is too obscure or too heady; the movie swap and purchase section of the site is | ||||
| video and 16mm manna for lean, mean noir disciples; "The Big Chat" is a revelation, featuring Dark Marc's interviews with | ||||
| some of the greatest living scholars of noir. On top of it all, Marc does free screenings of well-known and obscure noir | ||||
| classics each Thursday, all around the Bay area. That's right, free. He may just be noir's dark angel. - www.noircast.net | ||||
