my fave movies of the 21st century
An interesting question came up in the comments for the post on the latest They Shoot Pictures, Don't They update: What are the one or two 21st century films that have ranked highest in my informal all-time list? Interesting enough to answer the question in a separate post. The easiest place to ...

revisiting chungking express (wong kar-wai, 1994)
This was a bit of a test in a couple of ways. First, it's the latest Movie of the Week on the upcoming Criterion Channel, so I felt obliged to stream it, even though I own the Criterion Blu-ray. Second, I wanted to try out my new computer with its 4k graphics. This was also a stretch, since the ...
Always looking for suggestions!

what i watched
Hiroshima Mon Amour (Alain Resnais, 1959). Only my third film by Resnais, after the all-time classic Night and Fog and the bizarre Last Year at Marienbad. In all three films, Resnais plays with time ... in Hiroshima, as in Marienbad, there is looping, endless conversations about what did or didn...
Funny you mention the color palette ... have you seen the Black and Chrome version?

At our house, and apparently at TSPDT's house, the century starts with the zero year.

music friday: patti smith at the boarding house, 1976
43 years ago today, we saw Patti Smith for the first time, at the Boarding House, which sat 300. It was a couple of months after the release of Horses. Noel Redding, former bass player for Jimi Hendrix, was the opening act. It was an interesting show, of course. She did several covers, including...

they shoot pictures, don't they: 2019
The They Shoot Pictures, Don't They website has posted their annual update, with the All-Time list going up last month and the 21st-century list arriving Friday. I cite them often on this blog ... the idea of someone compiling all the best-ofs in the world appeals to me. And the I Check Movies s...

throwback thursday to 1970
Once again, a cut-and-paste from an old post (comment, actually) where I described my final stage performance as an actor. I took drama from 7th through 12th grade. My first play was The Wizard of Oz ... I was 11 years old, and played The Scarecrow. Don't remember much about it, but I think I wa...

Not sure if there is some leg-pulling going on here, but just in case, for the record:

Off the top of my head, some of my other acting performances came in such high-school war horses as Arsenic and Old Lace, Inherit the Wind, and others.
