Sometimes you don't even notice the weeks go by. #lastfourwatched #letterboxdfriday

Saw Jonathan Richman in Halifax on Sunday. It was one of the best concerts I've ever had. It was such a tight performance, but also felt like he was making up songs on the spot.

I also watched Frankenstein on the weekend. Some great moments and re-writes, but also a little unsatisfying.

4 stars for Misericordia, 5 stars for Donkey Skin, 2.5 stars for Bodies Bodies Bodies, 5 stars for Didi

Watched Donkey Skin with some friends this week. It's an incredible movie, and I wish they made more like it. I love how it just embraces the absurdity of fairy-tale logic. Didi intensely reminded me of what it was like being a teenager online in the late aughts. #letterboxdfriday #lastfourwatched

4 stars for Sorry, Baby, 2.5 stars for the Bitter tea of General Yen, 3 stars for Lincoln, 4.5 stars for Midnight.

Not included in this #lastfourwatched is Cocteau's Beauty and the Beast, which is the movie that got me into movies. Hadn't watched it in 5 years. Every moment is perfect. #letterboxdfriday

5 stars for Splitsville, 4 stars for Devil Wears Prada, 4.5 stars for Black Book, 5 stars for Nobody Knows.

Tonight after Splitsville, someone came out of the theatre and said "was it just me or was that movie shit?" I hadn't had that much fun in a movie theatre in years. #letterboxdfriday #lastfourwatched

3.5 stars for Materialists, 3 stars for The Devil, Probably, 3.5 stars for Inherent Vice, 5 stars for One Battle After Another

I feel pretty basic giving One Battle 5 stars, but it was one of the best movie-going experiences I've ever had. Also Materialists has an incredible atonal, Lady From Shanghai, like quality to it. I can see why people hate it, but it's a fascinating movie. #letterboxdfriday #lastfourwatched

I've skipped so many good movies because they had bad trailers.

This Friday we kick off our new season of programming with the classic thriller THE THIRD MAN (1949). As always, admission is free.

Screening poster by @patrickallaby.bsky.social.

5 stars for Nickel Boys, 4.5 stars for Dekalog 10, 4 stars for Dekalog 9, 3 stars for Mockingjay pt. 2.

Nickel Boys blew me away. Stunning movie. Overall, Dekalog was fine, with great episodes. Just not really my thing. The Hunger Games movies are mediocre adaptations of a great book series. It should be remade with a much stronger POV. #letterboxdfriday #lastfourwatched

3 stars for Paprika, 4 stars for Dekalog 7, 4 stars for Dekalog 8, 3.5 stars for Freakier Friday.

It's been a few weeks since I remembered to do this. Got two episodes left of Dekalog. Enjoying it at times, excited to be done with it. Freakier Friday was sloppy but enjoyable. #letterboxdfriday #lastfourwatched

”goodbye is too good of a word babe ill just sit down and wish you well”

“i fave her my heart, she wanted my soul. She couldn’t have it.”

“I aint in no big hurry, i know where the war is gonna lead”

”power and greed and corruptible seed seems to be all there ever is”

“Sometimes i wanna take to the road and plunder…”

“Chirp and they chatter but what does it matter, they’re so lusty for blood”

Maybe a raincoat? Keeps waiving from behind piano. In watchtower “all the women came and went…well most of them”

Dylan is wearing a hoodie.

Harp on ramona and red sky. People beside me chanting “show your face!”

Serve somebody (instead of early roman kings?)

1.5 stars for Reagan, 5 stars for the Muppet Movie, 2.5 stars for Straw Dogs, 4 stars for Queen of Katwe.

Watched the Muppet Movie projected on the side of a barn at sunset. Very romantic time. Also I am 3 episodes into Dekalog. #lastfourwatched #letterboxdfriday

apparently my mom is now coming to see the Outlaw tour with me. This will be weird.

Direct Me is a 10/10 album.

Don Juan is my favourite Joni album and it's one of the hardest to recommend to people due to the original cover. Who care's that the new cover photo's not from the year the album came out? It's no longer racist!

Over on the Joni Mitchell subreddit someone said how much they liked Don Juan's Reckless Daughter and all the comments are about how she shouldn't have changed the cover.

Milk and Honey and Double Fantasy are great albums, but my favourite songs are the Yoko ones.

It would be useful right now if some random small town in Canada had the World’s Biggest Fire Hydrant.

Weird the NS government hasn’t shut down Matchtown Market. Seems like a very obvious fire hazard.

3.5 stars for It's All Gone Pete Tong, 3 stars for Kinds of Kindness, 4.5 stars for Broker, 4 stars for The French Connection.

IDK? The last week's been a blur. #letterboxdfriday #lastfourwatched

I did not realize that appearance with the orchestra in Japan was ever officially released. Guess I'll have to track this release down.
