Re: Fútbol
If we are talking Premier, this season my heart is with Leeds, because of Bielsa.
In the past I leaned toward Manchester City, because of Aguero who is a fan and always played for Independiente before going to Europe, which is the team I'm hincha here in Argentina.

Re: 31 Days of October
Very interesting Jiri, I will add it to my watchlist. Although to be honest, I was going to start with 40's horror, but I still had a few Universal monsters from the 30's left to check. So I watched "The Mummy" (1932) Freund made it a bit slow for 73 minutes, still the sequences from the p...

x1995 Great movies both, thank you for sharing them!! I do believe that The Feverish Years might be a "better" movie and has a lot of very interesting formal choices that contribute to build a great mise en scene and take narrative risks. From the sound to the choices on how to let the sto...

x1962 Most probably it's my fault, but couldn't get into a mindset were I could enjoy Gilles Carle's Bernadette, It had it's moments, but it felt too sketchy, like lacking flow on the narrative side, to the point that when it got to the last stretch that required more investment of my part, I really...

Bartleby & Co. by Enrique Vila-Matas. Not sure about this one yet. I mean I get all the theory about copists and the literature of no, but so far It feels like I'm just going through anecdotes and name dropping. I hope it builds into something, luckily I will find out soon, since it's a short r...

A couple of years ago I felt that I was reading very little compared to other times in my life, so I made a point of dedicating at least 1 hour per day to reading.

Re: 1989 poll
I'd love to have four weeks, I´d certainly watch more movies for the year polls.
Also, even if it's not part of the discussion, knowing that once we finish all the years we might start all over again makes me happy
