I won't watch any Scope film shoehorned down. Won't do it. Made a rare exception for "Sorcerer" not long ago, because only pan and scan exists. And even then. Friedkin was, like Kubrick, loose with his aspect ratios.

do i need to see syriana? i still haven't seen it. i hated traffic. same guy, right? or writer or something.
― scott seward, Tuesday, 6 March 2012 01:23 (twelve years ago) link
If you hated Traffic, you might want to avoid it. I thought it was alright though.

I thought Syriana was better than Traffic by a fair margin. Not a great movie, but I hated Traffic.

Syriana was like a dramatization of a nyt magazine piece from 2005

I started watching "Not Quite Hollywood" - it seems to be mainly raunchy clips interspersed with droll commentary by industry insiders and goofy fanboy raves by a stoned Quentin Tarantino.

it's great. Saw it in the theaters at the premiere and Clash was in attendance. He stayed to take pictures and shake hands for about five hours after, a real sweetheart.

didn't much like barcelona back in the day ... the travails of 90s yuppies in Barcelona didn't have much appeal to me then. perhaps i'll watch it again though.
i watched barcelona again a few days ago ... it's a lot better than i thought it was originally. probably b/c i now realize that whit stilman thinks that ALL of the characters are horse's asses of one sort or other. and i've subsequently seen metropolitan and i'm older so i think i "get" stilman more now.

The problem with the vast majority of the anime is that it's dubbed (not to mention that the giant batch the other day was mostly just renewals of stuff that had already been there). Honey and Clover is subtitled, but it's a little too slice of life for my taste. I've heard good things about Eden of the East, but it's dubbed. I have watched through Death Note and Nana, both of which are subtitled, and both of which I enjoyed for entirely different reasons.

I didn't watch this, but when I got home and heard about it, I wish I had! 1973 - The Baby
A social worker who recently lost her husband investigates the strange Wadsworth family. The Wadsworths might not seem too unusual to hear about them at first - consisting of the mother, two grown daughters and the diaper-clad, bottle-sucking baby. The problem is, the baby is twenty-one years old.

A lot of the Herzog titles they used to offer are gone. I recently watched the Antartica one which I found about as dull as I find Antartica. Also probably the most Herzog-by-the-numbers Herzog I have seen.

at some point when you are watching the baby it just kind of dawns on you that this was a real movie that someone made and put out and not actually a fever dream you are having.

Encounters at the End of the World is great. Probably my most viewed Herzog doc.
