mildly lol opening bit to those awards where Joel McHale had his hand stuck under a rock in his dressing room and she came in with a chainsaw.

one month passes...

Hey has anyone seen The Arbor? I saw the director on a panel at the LIFF and they showed a clip that looked kind of bad. But it won a prize and has been getting some press...

Well, I just saw a 3-4 minute clip which featured (IIRC) what sounded like offscreen recorded interview synced to actors on set mouthing the words of the interviewees. Is the whole film like that? It's the type of distancing effect that bothers me when it isn't used well, it seems to do disservice to the person originally speaking, but honestly, I saw it totally out of context, so I have no way of knowing how this really functions in the film itself. Clio Barnard (sic?) was a very likeable and generous panelist, but sometimes nice, clever people can make not so great films. I do want to see it, though. I'll watch most (most) British films, tbh.

The Arbor opened in NY this week, and I had very mixed feelings about it -- to the point where Mubi has me as the voice of dissent.

I'm not going to preempt Eric and start the new detrius thread, but the NYFCC will be voting this year on... Nov 28.
