bride of frankenstein

just finished a journal of the plague year, by daniel defoe, and particularly enjoyed his use of capital letters in this one: It was know to us all, that abundance of poor dispairing Creatures, who had the Distemper upon them, and were grown stupid, or melancholly by their Misery, as many were, wand...

didn't we do something with delphine seyrig once? or did i dream it? but we should do a michael lonsdale poll at some point...

yeah i was thinking quantum of solace is one where he doesn't seduce the lead female character, and the misogyny, while still there for bond, is more squarely on the bad guys. not the best bond movie overall, but short and pretty action-packed. the spy who loved me is a good choice too, for the reas...

i'm 10+ on gavaldon

let's go with robbe-grillet instead of herz, plenty of time for me to get back to movie watching and see some more of his

if we should delay the juraj herz poll, let's run with alain robbe-grillet in his place.

oh wait, i have more than 10 by jarman

i have 7 by kluge, no help on the others

oh, just to give you more work thought of another one i'd like to see us poll at some point: benoit jacquot. i have 10 of his

10 from robbe-grillet

just ran through the list:

10+ feuillade
10+ franco
7+ mctiernan
10+ suzuki

and it looks like we haven't polled parajanov yet, i've got 10+ of his

8 james ivory
also please put alex cox on the list to see, greg and i both have 7+

I have 6 each by schorm and menzel, 5 nemec, kachyna, and jires. not sure that i will be watching anything soon but if i do i can try to make it by one of them.

edit: seen 5, don't remember much of them either and probably didn't love them much

the great escape

that all makes sense to me, and definitely translation is a mostly thankless task so it's always nice when you can find translators to support due to the quality of their work. i guess it just strikes me that the ideal translator isn't the invisible translator, but the one who somehow is notably the...
