“The essential doesn't change.” Beckett
It's not a really good trailer, but it is a really cool movie. Melville's neo-noir/proto new wave flick. It's out of print. Borrowed this from the library.
Seen any good movies lately?

I watched the remake of "Papillon". It's not as good as the original movie but if you forget about the original it's not too bad, although it's difficult for the two main actors, Charlie Hunnam and Rami Malek, to compete with mega-stars like Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman who played the parts in the original movie. It's no doubt a fairly low budget movie but still watchable and much more brutal than the original.
Definitely. I'm such a sucker for that one.
Most people don't get, that it's not (primarily) an action-movie, but a sensible [or is the correct English word "sensitive"?], innocent love-story.
It's totally different a thing from "Lucy" though.
(And, a propos de Luc Besson: I never was a fan of "The 5th Element" or "The Big Blue", sorry.)

Just came from seeing Suspiria. Very fucked up. So weird. I liked it.
Where do i begin? A redo/remake of an old Italian horror movie by Argento. Never saw any of his stuff. May have to.

Hadn't seen the marvelous movie "CRASH" in about 10 years, but felt - tonight - like watching the high-emotional End-scene and looked for it on youtube. No chance for a decent version.
So I had to take the task on my own.
After all, it's not only about me, but GIVING. right?
I cut and edited and converted and uploaded this moving scene, so you have it:

It was Scorsese's born day this weekend so I watched Mean Streets & I saw 2001 in the theatre. Good weekend. .

Saw this in a theatre Sunday presented by director Lance bangs & SY drummer Steve Shelley. Great.
The premise of Strangers on a Train was used in Throw Momma From the Train.

Didn't know that bit of trivia. Good book too.

One retreat after another without peace.
Apparently Highsmith smuggled her own snails into Europe under her breasts. For one who reportedly love snails so much you would think France the last place you would take your beloved gastropods.
Just watched Deadpool 2 (#1 wasn't available) for the first time.
Yes, it is childish, but also funny.
Since we know, there's a sick freak-fan for Everything on the net, willing to post any available information on his/her subject, make databases and lists etc, I'll have to ask: Do you know if anybody on the web has published a list of the many inside-jokes and references to other movies, comics, music, pop-thingies of all kind?

This is good. Noir from 1950. Richard Widmark & Gene Tierney
I watched Deep Red, Tenebrae, and Inferno on back-to-back-to-back nights last month under the influence of 10 mg THC sodas. His stuff is lights out. Very gory. Bourdain was dating Argento's daughter when he passed away. Have not seen the remake.
I watched Uncle Howard a few weeks ago. Howard Brookner did the Burroughs doc in the early 80s (solid). He died of complications from AIDS in the late 80s. Fast forward thirty years. What is pretty wild is his nephew goes back to The Bunker in NYC where Burroughs lived in the late 70s and everything is just sitting there in the apartment like the day Burroughs moved out. It is in The Bunker where the nephew finds a lot of footage his father was working on before he died.

Yeah, i saw. & liked that doc but preferred & liked a whole lot more the doc his uncle did BURROUGHS. I have the Criterion edition with really informative extras. Really the Uncle Howard doc could have been part of the BURROUGHS supplements. Loved all the footage of Jarmusch in there too . He's a favorite director.

This is a very well done Barry Jenkins directed movie.

Long Day's Journey into Night. What a strange movie. Non-linear, very (very) long, obscure dialogue, great acting, untrustworthy narrators, amazing cinematography and the last 59 minutes was a one shot. So confusing. I loved it! but damn, i'm going to have to see it again...and again...and again. I am cool with that. Well, it wasn't very (very) long. It was long, 2 hours, 20 mins.
Black Swan
Abord the Yorikke!
Saw an old film on tv, Midnight Cowboy , as if it was the first time. Loved it, Hoffman and Voight were beautiful!
You need to see my friend O'Daniel...
I like the scene that is referred to as "Florida Fantasy" on the soundtrack. It starts with Joe Buck running on the beach in some type of Capri pants that would probably sell for $200+ at Abercombie these days. Then Rico Rizzo is concocting that same meal with the sliced pepper he is prepping in NYC only there is now a crowd of 100 waiting for him and he tastes it and motions to the crowd and they rush in. Good stuff...
