"New York gentrification moves faster than video format extinction. Kim’s Video on Avenue A shut down while I was in grad school at NYU, and that made it hard enough to find VHS copies of older films that hadn’t yet been released on DVD (and hasn’t that space gone through like three cheesy bars since Kim’s lost their lease? Please advise.) Later, I ended up buying a bunch of those tapes (including Fassbinder’s Gods of the Plague and Herzog’s Where the Green Ants Dream) at Mondo Kim’s on Saint Marks. Now, that Kim’s location is getting ready to move, and they’re unloading their library of 55,000 video rentals in the process. A couple of local eye witnesses have sent in reports of a flyer that’s being passed out at the store (Ray Pride has posted a scan), advertising Mr. Kim’s search for “institutions, schools, businesses or individuals who can accomodate Kim’s full line of film collection.” Apparently, they want to keep the collection intact; in fact, the stated mandates for parties ...

"If Rainer Werner Fassbinder could make three movies in one year, we should have been able to watch three of his films in one night. Unfortunately, we were distracted by homework. We did manage to watch Fassbinders Katzelmacher (1969) and Gods of the Plague (1969). This movie has interesting characters: a beautiful woman out for revenge, a man who runs from the law, an old friend, a woman to sleep with, and a sleazy detective. This noir film uses the detective story as a subplot while the audience runs with the criminal unaware of precisely what he did wrong. Edwin and I noted that this seems like a Goddard film. There are abrupt edits, random scenes (like the drive to the country where the men reminisce with an old friend), and a story Goddard could direct. However, Gods of the Plague is dour and unhappy, whereas Goddard films are whimsical, upbeat, and nave with a child "
