Boston area: "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time" showing at the Brattle in August

[malmquist]

For people in the Boston area, I happened to walk past the Brattle Theater in Cambridge, MA this afternoon, and noticed that The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (http://timeleap.bandai-ent.com/) has been scheduled at the Brattle (http://www.brattlefilm.org/brattlefilm/movie_detail/080822.html) for August 22 through August 24. The Bandai web site hasn't been updated yet with the dates, so people might have missed it.

"Tokikake" is a really sweet movie, and I recommend that people in the area go see it that weekend if possible.

(Apologies if this is the wrong forum.)

Whooooo! Nothing to do at the end of August so I see myself getting over there. Haven't been to the theater yet, I missed Palanski's Chinatown and Kubrick's 2001.

Tokikake plays really well on the big screen. Highly Recommended!

Nitpick: He spelled Mamoru Hosoda's name slightly off ("Hosada")

I can't wait to see this one again. I doubt it will be on the big screen near me, so I just have to wait until November with the DVD release. I'm looking forward to the dub too.

So, from what I can tell, the closest theatre to me that's planning on airing the movie is 1200 miles away. Fan-freaking-tastic. Oh well, all I know is I'll be pre-ordering the Bandai DVD.

Sweet thanks for letting me know about this.

I'll be there.

Definetly going to have to go and see that

For people who have been there before how is the Brattle? How does it compare to Coolidge Corner?

The Brattle Theater is quite small -- much smaller than the massive Coolidge main screen. Unlike the Coolidge they show a different movie almost every weeknight or weekend; "Tokikake's" Friday-Monday run is above average in length. They like to schedule season-long repertory series of related films, for instance a run of Kurosawa films or Coen films. If they happen to be showing a series you're interested in, you can end up going once or twice a week because some of what they show isn't always available on DVD (http://www.brattlefilm.org/brattlefilm/series/2008/nikkatsu.html).
