The result received decidedly mixed reviews from a festival screening, which scared off the distributors, and My Brother's Wedding was never given a general release. Twenty-five years later and after a restoration by Pacific Film Archive, Burnett agreed to release his labor of love with Milestone Film and Video only if he could complete it as he originally intended. We are pleased to be able to screen Burnett's final cut, one that successfully blends comedy and drama as it follows Pierce Mundy (Everett Silas), a young man in South Central Los Angeles drifting through life with no particular purpose&mdash;until confronted with a crucial decision that he would rather avoid.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/dryden.eastmanhouse.org\/films\/2014\/12\/my-brothers-wedding\/\">Dryden website<\/a>, 2015-Feb-9]<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Starting at 9 p.m. at the <strong>Casa Hispana<\/strong> at <strong>Nazareth<\/strong> is a <strong>Panel on U.S. Relations with Cuba under the Obama administration<\/strong>. <em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rochestercitynewspaper.com\/rochester\/panel-on-us-relations-with-cuba-under-the-obama-administration\/Event?oid=2488374\">City Newspaper events calendar<\/a>, 2015-Feb-9]<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Friday, February 13<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Tonight at 7 p.m. at the <strong>MuCCC<\/strong> is the <strong>Sketch Showcase Etch-A-Sketch Comedy Team<\/strong>, <strong>Estrofest Comedy Troupe!<\/strong>, and <strong>Thank You Kiss<\/strong>, then at 9 p.m. is the <strong>Feature Show<\/strong> with <strong>Canary In A Coal Mine<\/strong>, and a <strong>Stand Up Showcase<\/strong> hosted by <strong>Charlie Wildey<\/strong> at 11 p.m. as part of the <strong>Laughingstock: Comedy Festival<\/strong>. <em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/muccc.org\/events\/?p=16639\">MuCCC website<\/a>, 2015-Feb-1]<\/em><\/li>\n<li>This week's 7 p.m. movie at the <strong>Cinema<\/strong> (except Monday) is <strong>Selma<\/strong> (Ava Duvernay, U.K. \/ U.S. 2014, 128 min.) \"A chronicle of Martin Luther King's campaign to secure equal voting rights via an epic march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama in 1965.\" The 9:10 p.m. movie is <strong>Foxcatcher<\/strong> (Bennett Miller, U.S. 2014, 129 min.) \"The greatest Olympic Wrestling Champion brother team joins Team Foxcatcher led by multimillionaire sponsor John E. du Pont as they train for the 1988 games in Seoul &#8211; a union that leads to unlikely circumstances.\" <em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cinemarochester.com\/soon.php\">Cinema coming soon page<\/a>, 2015-Feb-11]<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Tonight at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m., the <strong>Dryden<\/strong> will screen <strong>Blue Ruin<\/strong> (Jeremy Saulnier, U.S. 2013, 90 min., DCP).<br \/>\n<blockquote><p>One man's determination to avenge the murder of his parents, by in turn taking the life of their killer, is jinxed from the outset. Already emotionally damaged and living in his car, Dwight (Macon Blair) somehow manages to find the strength and resources to carry through with his plan, which is simple on the surface but bedeviled by underlying currents over which he ultimately has no control. Saulnier's film is subtly subversive (and bleakly funny) with its acts of violence erupting with shocking and sobering force. Blair carries the film with a sweet desperation, his self-neglect and depression giving way to a surprising resourcefulness despite the fact that nothing goes according to plan.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/dryden.eastmanhouse.org\/films\/2014\/12\/blue-ruin\/\">Dryden website<\/a>, 2015-Feb-9]<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Starting around 8:30 p.m. at the <strong>Meddlesome Lab<\/strong> is a show with very good, experimentally-daring acoustic soloist <!-- 2010-Feb-2: Boulder-very good acoustic soloist with a unique, almost\/sometimes experimental sound, also 2006-Mar-31, UofR CLC: really good acoustic rock, but sometimes a bit too stylized with guitar and vocal tricks for my taste --><strong>Seth Faergolzia<\/strong>, nice, solid acoustic rock from <!-- 2011-Dec-28: Bug Jar-nice solid acoustic rock --><strong>Archimedes<\/strong>, <strong>Wildlife Freeway<\/strong>, fascinating, engaging orchestral folk band <!-- 2012-Nov-27: Bug Jar-fascinating, engaging orchestral folk --><strong>Paxtor<\/strong>, and <strong>Bl00ps<\/strong>. <em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/1763934773832731\/\">Facebook<\/a>, 2015-Feb-9]<\/em><\/li>\n<li>At 9 p.m. tonight, and at 7:30 p.m. and 10 p.m. tomorrow, <strong>Raymond the Amish Comic<\/strong> performs at the <strong>Joke Factory Comedy Club<\/strong> (911 Brooks Ave.)<br \/>\n<blockquote><p>Mention the Pennsylvania Dutch and many things come to the minds of folks in the Lehigh Valley &mdash; scrapple, horse and buggies, hex signs, and Raymond the Amish comic.

Jeffrey moved to Rochester from Boston with her husband in 1891. Meshing instantly with Rochester's reputation for social reform, she quickly distinguished herself as a leader in the African American community. Mrs. Jeffrey was heavily involved in efforts to erect a bronze statue of Frederick Douglass in Rochester and was tireless in her efforts to organize African American women, founding the Susan B. Anthony Club for Colored Women in 1902 and serving as its first president. She would go on to form the Hester C. Jeffrey Club, which raised money for young black women to take courses at the Mechanics Institute, and The Climbers, a club for girls that aided the elderly and needy. Mrs. Jeffrey was also a member of several influential organizations, including the Afro-American Council, the Political Equity Club, the Women's Christian Temperance Union, and the National Association of Colored Women. A close friend and associate of Susan B. Anthony, Mrs. Jeffrey was chosen to deliver a eulogy at her funeral.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www3.libraryweb.org\/eventsIndividual.aspx?id=496083\">Monroe County Library website<\/a>, 2015-Feb-9]<\/em><\/li>\n<li>The <strong>Laughingstock: Comedy Festival<\/strong> at the <strong>MuCCC<\/strong> concludes today at 2 p.m. with <strong>John Borek<\/strong>'s <strong>Jokes of the Unconscious<\/strong>. <em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/muccc.org\/events\/?p=16639\">MuCCC website<\/a>, 2015-Feb-1]<\/em><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: red;\">Updated<\/span>: At 4 p.m. at the <strong>Flying Squirrel<\/strong> is an <strong>Anarchist Sunday School<\/strong> on <strong>What is capitalism?<\/strong><br \/>\n<blockquote><p>Too often, discussions of economics are discussed in inaccessible language and framed in ways removed from it's effect on our daily lives as working people.

Fred MacMurray is insurance salesman Walter Neff, a company man who wanders into the wrong place at the wrong time: the Dietrichson household. Barbara Stanwyck is Phyllis Dietrichson, the most fatal of femme fatales, who draws him into her deadly insurance scam and the rest is history. Based on James M. Cain's novella of the same name, which was itself pulled from the headlines, Double Indemnity is one of the most studied and revered films noir. Possibly Stanwyck's most widely praised role, with her at her best as the manipulative, possibly sociopathic, Mrs. Dietrichson.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/dryden.eastmanhouse.org\/films\/2014\/12\/double-indemnity-2\/\">Dryden website<\/a>, 2015-Feb-9]<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here's my selection of events in Rochester this week:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2091],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3701","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-jayceland-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jayceland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3701","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jayceland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jayceland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jayceland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jayceland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3701"}],"version-history":[{"count":18,"href":"https:\/\/jayceland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3701\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3967,"href":"https:\/\/jayceland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3701\/revisions\/3967"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jayceland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3701"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jayceland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3701"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jayceland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3701"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
