I was in Mississippi for a couple of days and thought I’d look at this app but nope. Weirdly just ten miles away on the beach in the *same state* I had access.

Bullshit

Just found this at a free library. That’s this weeks reading sorted.

I only discovered the under-discussed Redford film The Hot Rock a few years back but I bring it up every chance I get. I’m sorry that today gives me reason to bring it up.

I remember stumbling across Black Narcissus on our local PBS station late one Sunday evening about 35 years ago and having my mind blown. I’d seen The Red Shoes already but wasn’t prepared for that film at all. What a run of masterpieces.

The Stationary Stones

It’s exciting in the way that only being in forced close proximity with almost 9 million other people in a concrete jungle can be

The Lady Vanishes, Young and Innocent, The 39 Steps, the Man Who Knew Too Much, Saboteur, Rebecca, Foreign Correspondent. Lots of good-to-great films

Shooting some old Fuji peel peel apart instant film today. The emulsion has held up beautifully.

I’m so glad I’m not the only one who saw the Archers influence — especially the lighting on the nun in some shots. The whole thing is just a pleasure to watch.

I keep seeing a reel on Instagram about how it’s this quaint song that makes fun of the word “hello,” which according to the speaker was a new greeting when the song was written. No mention of the verses of course

Beautiful!

Well if you insist.

Coincidentally this popped up just before your post in my feed.

I first saw him about 15 years ago when I was taking a walk early one morning. He was just chilling in someone’s front yard like a lawn ornament. I nearly broke my ankle doing a double take when I realized he was real. Love that guy.

Is this Mr P in Carrollton?

Sleepy baby

I recently rewatched Altered States and realized its “moral” (if it has one) boils down to the conclusion of the song Nature Boy: “The greatest thing you'll ever learn/Is just to love and be loved in return.” Anyway yeah Ken Russell!

This sounds like something right up my alley. So glad whatever random algorithm brought this post across my path

She could have just called that piece “Internalized Misongyny: An Essay”

Novelizations are based on the screenplay, right? So this would mean that’s the line in whatever draft of the script he was working from, and it was later changed, either in writing or on set

Daughters of Darkness has some of that. Not nearly as much as The Shout but Delphine Seyrig is seriously seductive

More score recreations. This was a fun challenge.

His brother works on Tatooine

And although the audience might be small, I wish someone would publish the Harry Nilsson/Terry Southern screenplay for Telephone before Whoopi Goldberg got to it.

Ooooooo sign me up!

Did you get the new Blu-ray from Arrow? I reconstructed the score for the isolated music track and wrote an essay on the soundtrack. The new scan looks incredible!

Why not name names? Why protect them?

Congratulations! I caught this on MUBI a few years ago. I love the extra-wide angle shots and the whole thing has great energy.
