Re: 2023 TCM Film Festival

I already told him that if for whatever reason "The Long Long Trailer" (my #1 favorite movie ever) is playing, I don't care what is scheduled against it, we are seeing it. That is one of my dreams, to see this movie in the theater. You may be in for some luck. Warner Archive is releasing ...

Re: Sight and Sound 2022 Goes Pretentious

Are not the people who vote for this film critics? My point is if this is the case I'm not sure if you can then make the case that it fits with the current zeitgeist unless of course you are specifically referring to the tastes of films critics which may be prone to favour more intellectual exercis...

Re: Sight and Sound 2022 Goes Pretentious

Jeanne Dielman is the perfect fit for 2022 because of how boring and heavy handed it is despite not much of anything even happening on screen. Oddly enough, I found Sátántangó more engaging when I watched it earlier this year. I did break it up over 3 days, but watching it was not as much as a chor...

Re: Sight and Sound 2022 Goes Pretentious

Fixing a double post. I saw the list and just shook my head. I watched Jeanne Dielman once and that was enough. I'd have put Tokyo Story at the top. The list on the whole was disappointing.
