I just wanted to wish you all a merry christmas, and thank you so much for all of the wonder conversations, the suggestions, and the community we've built on here. It's a nice place where it feels much more comfortable to be open. I hope to continue that into the new year. I'll be seeing LICORICE PIZZA today. Let me know you're thoughts if you plan on seeing it as well. I'll try to get a review out as soon as I can.
2021-12-24 19:20:56 +0000 UTC View PostI will be lucky enough to conduct a zoom interview with the man who played H.W. Plainview in There Will Be Blood very soon. We've been in contact for several years, and finally my hopes of getting to delve into the film, are finally coming true! I plan on adding it to Youtube eventually. I've never done anything like that, but I hope it goes smoothly. I haven't decided exactly how I plan on approaching it here. But I hope to keep the patrons up to date on it. If you guys have any suggestions ...

2021-12-20 22:40:19 +0000 UTC View PostAs a huge fan of the original, I have remained properly skeptical of this new one coming out soon. What are you guys feeling about it? Maybe you've already seen it. I dunno. But yeah, want to get an overall vibe from people on what to expect. Personally, I worry.
2021-12-20 19:21:37 +0000 UTC View PostI hate it.....XD. Really. I hate it. To me it is the most derivative schlock. No imagination. No composition at all really beyond the most basic, obvious, repetitive and boring. It sounds like bad trailer music to me. People talk about how great it is. Where? Someone explain to me what in this piece of music is remotely interesting? Also....hope you guys are having a good holiday. Merry Christmas! XD I'm a master of the segue-way.
2021-12-20 04:04:55 +0000 UTC View PostWhat are some of your favorite films of 2021? I never do lists like that because I don't see that many films each year. Also, I'm picky. XD But I'd love to know what you guys have to say. I'm looking for suggestions as well.

2021-12-09 20:41:25 +0000 UTC View PostI'm sure many know that the original film and musical was a huge huge huge part of my life growing up....perhaps to disturbing levels XD. But I'm seeing the new one tomorrow. Look for a review hopefully on Friday. Part of me worries about Spielberg as director...mainly because his films tend to go more the monochromatic, silver/blue color grading. And also, he's maybe the least sexy film director of all time....in terms of just, the sexuality in his films. It's not really his thing, and that'...
2021-12-08 22:53:05 +0000 UTC View PostFinally finally finally...I saw Lux Æterna by Gaspar Noe. I'm still in the post ecstasy phase of it. As in....just saw it like 20 minutes ago. haha But the last few minutes of the film, quite the experience.....my eyes and head are aching. >< Gonna sit with it a while before I express coherent thoughts on it. But in the meantime...if you've seen it, let me know what you thought. This is one I've been excited about. Would like to discuss...

2021-12-02 03:18:52 +0000 UTC View PostHas anyone read the book, and/or seen it's movie adaptation, The Innocents? I'm working on a potential review for it soon, and I'm a bit fuzzy on some of the book differences. It had been maybe 10 years since I had to write about it for college. >< But yeah, let me know. And also, let me know what you think of the adaptation. I have my own opinions there.

2021-11-24 21:20:03 +0000 UTC View PostI had this dream last night where I was part of a film crew. We were making some movie on location in a field outside of town. The people had all these ideas, but anytime I offered any additional input, it would go ignored. I found it annoying, because I didn't consider my ideas to be bad. But anyway...they continued to ignore. Their ideas became more and more outlandish as the dream went on. I began to grow skeptical of the whole project. I started to wonder if this is even a real film, or e...
2021-11-24 20:50:56 +0000 UTC View PostI watched this film the other day starring Joseph Cotton and Marilyn Monroe. It was very interesting. Campy, schmaltzy, and a less developed version of Vertigo in a lot of ways. But I found myself really drawn to the silence, the huge landscapes and images of the towering falls contrasting this isolation, this claustrophobia of 1950s living. I love that our main characters are anchors in a way for the narrative. The perceptive gal at the center, and the submissive, sexless husband, is right o...

2021-11-17 03:59:18 +0000 UTC View PostThe censorship on Youtube is getting more and more extreme. I see no signs of stopping it. I've been considering including content on Odysee as well, since viewership is growing, and your ability to comment and express opinion is not as rigid. What are your opinions on it, if you know what it is? If you have insight, I'm all ears. I'm fairly new to the whole thing.

2021-11-11 01:20:03 +0000 UTC View PostI saw Cronenberg's Crash for the first time the other day. I feel like I'm still working out my reaction to it, and I think it demands another viewing for sure. But if you've seen it, how did you feel about it initially?
2021-11-09 02:39:27 +0000 UTC View PostToday on bad film scores stuck in my head....it's "Davy Jones" from the Dead Man's Chest soundtrack. I have no idea why. I once was a dancer, and some other dancers I knew used the piece to perform. But that was 15 years ago. I hated it then and I hate it now. XD Same Hans Zimmer shit....trying to be enchanting and haunting...but it's the most basic, cookie-cutter, minor-chord melody that feels heavy and depressing as it becomes more and more overwrought. It's like a second-rate Danny Elfman ...

Woke up with this track from Little Miss Sunshine stuck in my head. Haven't seen this film probably since the year 2007. But I'm not complaining. What random memories of film soundtracks/scores have popped into your head on a loop recently?

2021-11-01 07:33:23 +0000 UTC View PostThe new live action show is coming out next month. As a diehard fan of the original show...I had no plans on watching this one. If you've seen any of the teasers then, I'm sure you can understand my reasons. But...maybe I should review maybe the first episode or two? Have you guys seen the trailer? What are your thoughts?
2021-10-26 03:26:50 +0000 UTC View PostI know everyone is talking about DUNE, but....meh. That's less my thing, as you guys likely figured out. XD I'm still thinking about TITANE. All the things that touched me about it, but also certain things that I struggled with. I do think that Julia has a masterpiece in her. She's just not quite there yet. But big steps in the right direction it seems. I won't lie...I don't often cry in movies. But I cried hard at the end of this one. It reminded me of an experience I had in my own life, whi...

2021-10-22 05:30:19 +0000 UTC View PostHoly shit ya'll. That was quite the experience. This one profoundly affected me. It's been a while since a movie came out that I liked. What a piece of work. I was in for Julia Ducournau since Raw. But this was next level. I'm going to try and get a review in for it, but likely won't come until next week. Gotta take care of Dune first...
2021-10-20 03:50:45 +0000 UTC View PostI hadn't seen it in so many years until last night. Wow. Just wow. There are two Billy Wilder films that include very emotionally wrenching scenes that take place during New Year's Eve. One I consider to be a triumph. Finding joy after deep pain. This one was just the opposite. This was a sinking further and further into pain. Billy Wilder's ability to capture the underlying melancholia of society through wicked humor, satire....just extraordinary. What's your favorite Wilder film? For me it'...

I was thinking of doing a review of Spring Breakers sometime when I get a chance in the next month, depending on the watching schedule.
