Last movie of 2016: Foreign Correspondent
First movie of 2017: The Princess Bride.

Dunno why Netflix didn't have a section of hangover movies ready for yesterday morning.

A local record store has criterion blurays of The Third Man and The Man Who Fell To Earth (no booklets, for whatever reason), for $99 each. I was too tempted, but thankfully didn't go through with it.

I definitely would have at least bought Third Man if I hadn't bought the DVD from a different place a couple weeks ago. I'll seek out the bluray whenever I get a better paying job.

Later this month a Man Who Fell to Earth blu-ray is being released that is from a new restoration that is as good or better than the Criterion release.


That's one of the additions to the 2000 re-release version.

I'll have to pick it up. Thanks for the heads up.

My girlfriend and I watched North By Northwest today. Her first time seeing it. At one point, she says "He goes from ad man to archaeologist," and I give her a confused look.

Yes. Louis Feuillade's serials are a good counterpoint to anyone who believes silents are boring.

Personally, I found Judex to be the best of the three that are available and Fantomas is great, too.
I haven't seen the silent yet, but the remake is fantastic.

I fully believe Trump's favorite movie is Citizen Kane and he's actually seen it.

He just completely loving missed the point.

Which is funny since Orson Welles was pretty much was alt-left before it was cool. All his movies are about the corruption of power and authority on people.

Trump probably never watched it past the part where Kane loses the election. Kinda the rich white version of people who miss the point of Tony Montana.

I got Mulholland Drive for Christmas the other year, but I still haven't watched it yet. I'm sure it's fantastic, but I'm certain it'll be an uncomfortable watch and I don't know what kind of mood I'll need to be in to watch it. The new Twin Peaks is coming out soon, so maybe when that's out.

Fire Walk With Me is a slow burn, but it adds to how haunting it is. I really like it, but I can understand why people wouldn't, especially if they're going in expecting the show's wackiness.

I remember my old babysitter/family friend would shut off movies if they used the Lord's name in vain.
One time they invited our family over to watch Speed 2: Cruise Control. I think there was an "oh my God" maybe twenty minutes in and it was over.

It worked out for me because they had just got a newly released Nintendo 64 and I got to spend a couple hours playing Super Mario 64.

I still haven't seen the rest of Speed 2: Cruise Control.

I lost it when my old laptop died, and I wish I had archived it now. I wanted to make a short film parody of those Hostess pie comic ads and ended up with a black comedy revenge thriller about a man obsessed with finding the perfect pie. It was while I was going through my Orson Welles phase. Maybe I should rewrite it.

A good adaptation of Unfortunate Events would have to be a Michel Gondry movie or something. The book's use of cruelty, obsession, and sudden violence is almost Lynchian.

So far it looks like a very muted Wes Anderson. I'm unfamiliar with the source material and never saw the movie from a decade ago.
