Re: 1992 Poll 2.0
Thanks to St Gloede for recommending De Nnorderlingen and to Flip for Man Bites Dog. Both very striking movies. I was also kinda excited by Alex Cox's Death And The Compass, but not sure it qualifies -- it was a TV episode in 1992, expanded to feature length in 1996, possibly using additional 1992 f...

Re: Dreams
I opened a refrigerator that didn't seem to be running. It was empty, except for the floorspace under the bottom shelf, where there were three big pieces of raw chicken sitting in an inch of dirty water.

Deep-dive discovery: Identity Unknown dir. Walter Colmes. One of those heavy-zeitgeist noir burners -- and there isn't even any crime in it!

I'm glad he's still working (seven years for the first one, second one coming right on schedule...)
So that's good.
But I wonder if he can find anything new to include in this storyverse. Seeing the same stuff for two more hours wouldn't necessarily not be tedious.

Re: 2017 Poll 2.0
I'm not praising or defending the movie -- struck me as very middling in all respects -- but I don't agree with Zgaib's assessment. The script is seeded with moments where the main character is confronted with the perception of dirtiness in politics, and as a result he reawakens to the need to asser...

Re: Dreams
I woke up on the pavement, between two parked cars. No idea where I was, and I had no shoes on. I started talking to two college-boy types; I explained my situation (for some reason I told them I had gone to sleep in Culiacan Sinaloa) and asked questions. They told me I was in Guatemala, the local m...
