when I went to Telluride, I camped. I had to get there a day early, right near noon, to get a site, but it worked out pretty well. I mean, other than being totally cold, but that was because I under packed. It's also a pretty easy place...

I did. I really liked BURIAL PATH an unexpected amount (considering I knew nothing of it going in), but that person making noise was the guy with the wheelchair seated right by me who decided to leave during that one. Argh. I would love...

Also note that a second program occurs on October 12, focusing on his 90's/00's output (i.e. mostly the handpainted stuff).

Lew, I think the sour taste that both MY MAN GODFREY and THE LADY EVE left in my mouth is [[SPOILER]] Is that usual for screwball comedy?

I'm up to 175. A few of those are because I missed some on a first scan of the list I've seen, but the ones I have recently seen are (apologies for the incoherent capsules, it's late and I'm sleepy): SOME LIKE IT HOT: this is a...

wow, I'm disappointed that UNKNOWN PLEASURES was so abruptly dismissed. It's not for everybody's tastes, yeah, but for those who like Tsai Ming-Liang it's well in keeping with his style. Lots of long takes, lots of quiet wry humor and...
