No prob, I haven't gotten to you yet.

Always plenty of wiggle-room, but alert me here like Bure just did to be sure I catch it.

All of your ballots are belong to us. Game over.

My 1994 checklist looks plebbier than usual, but I'll endorse these as a preliminary list: In The Mouth Of Madness - Carpenter Nadja - La Reina De La Noche - Ripstein Serial Mom - Waters The Silences Of The Palace Here's the list of what I know is available; I hope to add to it as other peoples' rec...

That's a good question, actually; I didn't think about it in those terms. I was thinking about the plethora of recent releases available on a certain page that somehow manages to stay a half-step ahead of the law, and imagining that we could use that without implicating ourselves in illegalities (li...

There was a thread at tapatalk about WBA's exceedingly liberal version of the year-long Viewing Challenge concept popular at Letterboxd; in 2018, Brian D did 52 giallos, and plans to do 52 sub-Saharan African movies for 2019, WBA had something lined up, the details of which escape me. ("Movies ...

I'm not sure it's an idea I like, but for the sake of suggesting something new and different, what about focusing exclusively on films of the current year (or current decade, "last five years" or something) , and finding some format within which to work through them as a game? Countries in...

If we want to institute a Cup or a new edition of Movie Club or any other year-long endeavor, we should be planning that thing. T minus ten and counting...

The Island Of Dr. Moreau.

Seen five. (And two Oshiis.)

Oh, good! That means I won't be a dick if I say that I like any of the single-image banners better than all of the six-frame ones.

The empty white rectangle... I copied it with "snipping tool," using the part inside the black ribbon only, and measured it in paintbox.

Oops, poor choice of words. "In hommage to Jiri" might be better. Nothing happened, he just ghosted away. AFAIK, his blog is still active.

FWIW, the dimensions of the empty banner box are 1328 x 207.

In honor of our lo-fi heritage, and in memory of Jiri, I'll repurpose a still from a movie I'm working on, that may be called Bagel/Bagel.

Cuz she's got a Halo! Saintly!

Unless something really kicks my butt in the next two weeks, here are my top 15 first-watches for 2018. I could add another hundred that didn't quite reach this level, but were still very rewarding -- that list will go up on letterboxd when the time comes. Shortest possible list: Daisies Only Angels...

Quito 2023 - Izurieta, Moscoso (Ecuador) Obscure enough to be worth mentioning, but it's not going to make my list. Near-future dystopia on an indie budget, science fiction with no SFX. The strategies they used to put their work across (chilly/dirty blue filters, claustrophobic mise en scene, etc) ...

I started January with the firm intention of watching more current releases this year... and I've seen exactly two. I trust everyone else is doing better on this front.

The Holy Mountain (and other Fancks) (but yuck)
By The Law (Kuleshov)
Way Down East
The Trail Of 98

...probably lots of the Storm Over Asia type of ethnic Soviet exotic regional cinemas...

When I'm tabulating, I keep a running list of whose ballots I've processed to avoid accidental double dipping between prelim and finals. No need to delete anything/nothing lost if you do.

I guess those posts need to be here so we can resume the ongoing discussion...

Some things what is available for viewing: (Unfortunately, I won't be tracking down additional recommendations for running updates this time around, because disorganized.) Abus du faiblesse - Breillat Ain't Them Bodies Saints - Lowery As I Lay Dying - Franco At Berkeley - Wiseman Behind The Candelab...
