Wish I was there for Fringe - just had something job-related for a couple days but had Monday night free.
Actually left Badlands about 10 minutes before the end, when one of the sprinklers on the lawn started up and sprayed a circle of moviegoers.

Saw Vortex (1982). Lydia Lunch is just funny. It made me wonder if there was any way she could have become a legit film star. It's like she had everything but technique.

― skateboards are the new combover (Dr Morbius), Friday, 28 August 2015 18:12 (eight years ago) link
Alice in the Cities is great and Kings of the Road is even better. I should have seen more when they were in Copenhagen, but didn't have time. Saw Marquise of O recently to see how much it looked like Amour Fou. The answer was quite a lot, but a lot of that is decor and costumes. What I've heard about Perceval - metal trees! - and The Lady and the Duke - early digital - makes me really interested. But just in general Rohmer is one of my major blind spots. Still.
