btw. i have to make it clear i am not a fan of the band's whole oeuvre. never heard most of their albums. as a late teen, i had only a few. but those few i kept playing obsessively over and over and over ("Duck Stab!" and "Eskimo" i fancied and can remember the most). I was, I s...

I hope it doesn't disappoint, but I gotta say I wouldn't go back and tempt fate. I saw the Residents 13th Anniversary tour and thought it one of the best concerts I've seen, so I'd rather keep that memory than risk seeing their age (and mine) illuminate a folly of youth.

Interesting project, enjoying reading it.

If it's not too late, here's my list, and if it is, then just adding it for reference.

Well, I'll list mine, but I might have missed out on seeing some of the favorites, like almost all of 'em.

Here's my list via Twitter and Letterboxd. Obviously, or I hope should be obvious, my viewing was highly circumscribed by where I was watching, hotel cable for a few months and then Netflix for a couple more, so more about exploring recent trends in commercial and semi-commercial niche films than se...

Heh. One of the two reviews of mine that people seem to take to. Happy to see it was useful, it's a nifty short.

Poor recognition of con artists seems to be a recurring problem for Kay.

I gotta say that I often feel like you get the most out of art/events of anyone I'm aware of. It's a genuine pleasure to read your takes and recountings of it all since there's nothing else like it I see. Truly awesome stuff.

Man, that's a lot, even with the shorter films involved. That's awesome and I assume worth the time. What was your overall impression or favorite parts of the program?

I was bored the other night and tried Burton's Wednesday, but had to bail at the half way point because of how Burtony he has to make everything. Nice enough looking in Burton's way and the actors are okay, but the same banality of mild reversal to draw in the normies who want to think they're dark ...

Dielman getting the top slot this time around doesn't bother me because the poll only captures the moment among a certain set of film nuts, as that's all it can do. The demand is ridiculous, ten films from all of film history set apart as better than all the remaining possibilities. It makes no sens...

Where and how do we contribute?

Yeah, the Spielberg/Kubrick influences really do balance out to something remarkable. Deceptively immediate, but with a lot of cross currents underneath the surface.

It's just that the one's I remember of mine are almost always mundane, virtually sorting problems given mild sense of "story" via underlying anxiety over something or another, few that take a leap to something more fanciful, but lately I haven't been aware of them enough for recollection a...

It's such a narrow method of coming up with a list that it virtually ensures certain outcomes, but not all for the bad, I mean the whole idea of a "canon", even one as poorly constructed as this, does rely on the idea of commonality of acceptance from those who are informed on the subject ...

Yeah, obviously movie fans must be the kind of weirdos that actually like hearing recounted dreams since I enjoy reading them as well. Fascinating stuff, not least because they aren't like mine at all, from what I remember of them anyway.

Ya, the importance of who releases a film and where/how becomes all too obvious a deciding factor. It's no wonder why some film areas are missing from the poll when they are ignored by Janus/Criterion and the like. But the addition of Portrait of a Lady on Fire doesn't bother me, Sciamma is pretty s...

It is indeed a pleasure to have a place to hang out with people as weird in their interests as I am, but, c'mon, we're here thx to you as much as anything rischka. Can't imagine we'd have lasted this long without ya.

Last Hurrah for Chivalry is my favorite Woo as well, but I did like him a fair bit back when there was more limited options for what I could see, so he stood out as being bold in a relative sense much more than he did after seeing more stuff. Still like The Killer some of his others during that run,...

Yeah, but Elvis beat them to that title with Girls! Girls! Girls!, so they probably didn't want to confuse the Presley fans, which sadly knocked the option of Clambake out of title contention as well.

Is the second part worth seeing? I only saw the first half, the second never hit my video store, back when that was how I saw recentish movies.

Hmm, I think there might be an error in that tweet. I'm sure they meant to say Arizona's statewide far right slate has all "lost". Without the quote marks one might think there wasn't a vast conspiracy of vote rigging by the libs going on.

Huh. Letterboxd must have been contacted by friends or relatives or something of the sort. Or they knew the person perhaps?
