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.

i tried watching beyond the black rainbow like 3 times and finally got through it the 4th time on a bus trip. glad i stuck with.

I loved black rainbow, did not think it was a shit film. Admittedly I was half asleep when I watched it so it felt like a weird dream.

It's more of a rumination on an aesthetic than a narrative really

Black Rainbow should be the poster child for the concept of horror films having shitty endings tho

i'm still watching jericho series and i feel like kind of an idiot for watching it but what the hell i'm almost done. i guess it ends in the middle though! only 7 episodes in the 2nd season. watched first firefly with maria and she dug it (had never seen it) so probably watch another truncated series next. and i still haven't watched firefly movie so save that for last. in other words i am not watching fancy movies. or even horror movies. you guys should still watch HELL though. that movie was cool.

keep the lights on, ira sachs's autobiographical film about his relationship w/ drug-addicted literary agent bill clegg. not sure what to say about this movie yet, other than that the soundtrack almost completely made up of arthur russell perfectly suits the tone and style of the film, which is kind of, uh, i'll just toss out a tag cloud here: intimate yet detached, mysterious/melancholy/sparse/disjointed

i started watching Shameless last night. pretty entertaining even when it sounds like everyone is speaking hungarian. i swear that brit patois can sound like some eastern european language to me. pretty remarkable. don't know if i will make it through all 150+ episodes though. that's a lot of episodes for a britcom!

Annika Bengtzon: Crime Detective.
this is great! I gave up on the pretty but relentlessly grim and unshaven Wallander, and this will be my midseason replacement.

Two-Minute WarningAn assassin lies in wait for the president at a football game, and when he goes on a killing spree, it's up to two cops to catch the madman.
this sounds so hilarious, is it? omg not only is john cassavetes in this movie, gena rowlands is as well
― seriously, THIS GUY (daria-g), Wednesday, 27 March 2013 02:02 (eleven years ago) link
I feel like if Cassavettes were alive and in his prime today he'd be funding his directing career with every role currently occupied by Nic Cage.

"Due to the film's explicit violence and uncomfortable detail of a homicidal sniper acting alone and without apparent motivation, NBC negotiated with Universal Studios to film additional scenes for its television premiere in 1978. The new scenes would detail an art theft, with the sniper serving as a decoy so robbers could escape without detection. The additional scenes, totaling 40 minutes in length, were added for the film's TV showing while 45 minutes of the original version were removed. Director Larry Peerce disowned the TV version, which credits the pseudonymous "Gene Palmer" as director and Francesca Turner (who also helped doctor David Lynch's Dune for TV) for the "teleplay". When shown on network television, this version of Two-Minute Warning is often shown rather than the original theatrical release The television version was not included when the film was released to video and DVD."
probably have only seen the tv version, want to see the theatrical now

Watched the first ep of Annika Bengzton on the rec of posters here-- I thought it was servicable and well shot though not especially gripping. I did like where she threatened to kill the bully kid.

"When shown on network television, this version of Two-Minute Warning is often shown rather than the original theatrical release." - curious when Two-Minute Warning was last shown on network television.

I remember watching it sometime in either the very late 80s or very early 90s on commercial television and thinking it was godawful, hardly worth convincing my parents to let me stay awake on a school night for.

got stoned and watched The Dove last night. Joseph Bottoms is soooooooooo gay in that movie. like gayer than gay. he's supposed to be in love with Deborah Raffin but i don't buy it. on the other hand, Deborah Raffin in this movie could turn a blind, gay statue straight. oof! the whole movie is pretty gay. i also kept thinking that Joseph Bottoms was Timothy Bottoms and wondering why he didn't look like Timothy Bottoms. even his name is pretty gay. worth watching for the feral cat scene and the one outfit he wears which is nothing but some sort of chain/strap harness instead of a shirt and short short jean shorts. so gay! if you want to know what the pre-irony world was like, you should watch it. 70's blissful ignorance/guilelessness at its most squishy.
