i'm really hip so my faves are the late 70's weird string of 3 women/a wedding/quintet/a perfect couple. if i were younger and hipper it would be o.c. and stiggs. i like popeye though. its fun.

I can't in good consciousness rank Popeye above, say, 3 Women or Nashville, but I find it heartwarming how this film has been reclaimed from the heap of "Notorious Flops that Killed The Last Golden Age of American Movies" in the years since its release.

Fwiw, both my wife and I enjoyed it as kids when it came out. I'm pretty sure I owned the soundtrack.

i watched the entirety of story of film (did they ever fix that one broken hour?) and it was very very very good; talked me into getting a hulu sub for criterion films and i've not regretted itfor a long time after though, you'll hear that guy's ulster accent going up at the end of each sentence in your mind when you watch anything."two people. sitting alone on a bench. he leans in. whispers. she reacts. what's been said? we cannot know? is it art? is it film? is it a moment of truth? the questions are more fitful than the answers. she walks away. close focus. sharp light. we're in an office. the sound of copiers. a man at work."

I watched the Ozu segment of that on youtube and immediately put it on my Amazon wishlist. I may not wait for gift giving opportunities to go ahead and get it.
Speaking of Ozu, a bunch of stuff was added to the Hulu Criterion list in the last few weeks -- early Ozu, several by Fassbinder, some Soderbergh, Nagisa Oshima, DeMille's King of Kings. Looks like 75-80 films total.

Kumare guy is too torn with his own sense of doing the wrong thing (also kinda boring and playing to stereotypes) to merit a backlash. Its really not worth the time.

story of film has been great so far. yeah, thought i wouldn't be able to stand the narrator's style, but i kind of love it now. watched chariots of the gods over the weekend. obviously BS, but kind of an amazing space age fever dream.

a post in a thread about streaming films. he is unsure at first. flat lighting. soft focus. his mind changes. sharp focus. depth. is he growing? is he changing? is this art? now a response. is THIS art? surely, it is a response but can we trust that it's cinema?

doomsday book (2012)first off, jee-woon kim is supreme chief of modern korean directors (kim>park>bong)this movie as larry david would say is 'eh'kim's short film about the buddha robot was the only of the three that was well-written. i liked the other two (especially the visual effects and cinematography) but they were either too long or too short.
examined life (2008)cornel west, slavoj zizek & other smart people talking about deep concepts i have already forgotten. watched this at 3am in the morning so i was kind of wandering into slumber but something i would def re-watch again.
fallen angels (1995)without doyle, wong's films would look so sophomoric. wong's unabashed whimsicality is admirable putting him up above idiosyncratic directors like korine, tarr and other self-masturbatory ass clowns. but upon reflection he is one of those 'style over substance' dudes i that will never get. perhaps it's my obtuseness but i find his over-reliant use on inner monologues to be lazy and contrite (his failed attempts to romanticize alienation verbally is laughably bad). what was the point of having a contract killer in this movie? he could've been a nebbish librarian, a garbageman aka any other profession where you don't make many decisions. i understand that his films are extremely mood based but COME ON. in conclusion, i thought this was better than chungking express because the music was soothing, fitting and the characters for the most part were likable.
beyond the black rainbow (2010)this is a cool looking piece of shit.

Annika Bengtzon: Crime Detective.
WATCH THIS! Doughty crime reporter for a Stockholm newspaper Annika Bengtzon is a great character. If u liked Wallander, you'll love etc, only this is done with way fewer shots of seas of waving grain and more grit and winter.

SORRY, IT'S CRIME REPORTER. She's a journalist, not a detective.
Also I just watched the hell out of Venus Boyz, which is about drag kings. I don't know what to say about it yet but I was rapt.
