Certainly, Matias! you have been added.

Ding ding ding I'll read the numbers shortly before leaving work today. Update you ratings, place your bets, etc.

I watch parks and recreation on the treadmill. I’m midway throug season 5. The show is fun. The cameos normalizing ghouls like McCain and Gingrich are not much fun though.

I'm on a hill looking down on a long winding road. Lots of auto-body repair shops and junkyards. I see my car going along. No one is in it. I realize I am driving it with my mind. I make it take a sharp left. I hear a crash. Suddenly I'm in a courtyard surrounded by angry people. They say they're gy...

And yes, I've seen Petzold's Transit, which was good, but easily his worst of the past 15 years. So nothing interesting there either. Well, he's made some amazing movies in the past 15 years, but really, wouldn't you take Transit over these for example? Polizeiruf 110: Kreise (2015) Dreileben: Beat...

I saw it a week ago, and yes, I agree, it's excellent.

kanafani saw it and liked it a lot, too.

Ya, top notch stuff.

Seen 4. Blah.

Sally stay I'm just joking.

How about something from Zoom In Sex Apartments?

Bump. Come on people, we need more wagers.

My vote is for Three Landscapes.

Top 20, ordered by release date: Mädchen in Uniform (Leontine Sagan, Carl Froelich, 1931) Union Depot (Alfred E. Green, 1932) Sazen Tange and the Pot Worth a Million Ryo (Sadao Yamanaka, 1935) La mancha de sangre (Adolfo Best-Maugard, 1943) Living in Shadows (Llorenç Llobet-Grácia, 1949) The Raid (H...

I can tell you my favorite 2018 movies... in 2021 or 2022. I'll probably have watched some good ones by then.

The only 2018 I can wholeheartedly endorse today is Christian Petzold's Transit.

Hitchcock/Lang Fuller/Ray Ozu/Mizoguchi Hawks/tourneur Tarkovsky/Kubrick HHH/tsai/yang Truffaut/chabrol Fassbinder/herzog Ozu/Mizoguchi Godard/Rohmer Bunuel/Renoir Bresson/Melville John Wayne/James Stewart Barbara Stanwyck/Bette Davis Greta Garbo/Marlene Dietrich Charlie Chaplin/Buster Keaton Varda...

Stewart 20 - Wayne 10 Would it maybe be easier to adjudge the winner if, instead of, e.g., "Stewart 20 - Wayne 10", I submitted my guess as Stewart +10? Covering S20-W10, but also S19W9, S18W8, etc. In cases in which some people's logs don't produce winners and it's not out of 30, it's th...

I'm still reading the Spanish Civil War. Just wanted to mention that I just spilled a cup of tea on the book, so now I'm on the hook for paying the library for it.

My records tell me that 30 champs have rated at least one movie starring Wayne or Stewart. As a reminder, in the ultimate showdown, each champ gets one vote: Your vote goes to the actor whose movies you gave a higher average rating to. If you gave both actors the same average rating or you're one of...

Top 20 fiction (maybe?) in no particular order: A la recherche du temps perdu- Proust Don Quixote - Cervantes Ficciones - Borges Youth - Cotzee Lolita - Nabokov Pale Fire - Nobokov The Magic Mountain - Mann Madame Bovary - Flaubert The Secret Agent - Conrad Light in August - Faulkner As I lay dying ...

I don't read many cinema books, but one I read a few years ago and super-enjoyed was The Material Ghost: Films and Their Medium - Gilberto Pérez.

Letterboxd lists 195 John Wayne movies and 123 Stewart movies. I'm quite sure a lot of these may be skipped (say for example a 30 minute TV special about John Ford where Wayne pops up for 30 seconds). If you see such titles that I can remove, let me know.

New forum, new stats!! Welcome to the first Letterboxd Actor Showdown: jimmy Stewart versus John Wayne How does it work? I'll use my dark magic powers to read data from the letterboxd accounts of SCFZ champs. I'll then use this data to answer the questions that have been keeping you all up at night:...

will try to write a little bit more about these when i have some time but have been enjoying the early christian petzold films i've seen at the ongoing lincoln center retro, so far only pilots and the state i am in. will be going to see cuba libre tonight, if work doesn't end up destroying my plans...
