watching this right now and its fucking awesome!!!
the "duovision" thing is srsly next level!!! weird that the trailer doesnt employ the same technique... but like, the entire movie is two shots in split screen. its like watching two cuts of the same same movie, showing two different views of the same plot the whole time
also it takes place at the hotel del corodano (sup, ned)

like the video to semisonic's "closing time" but instead of a band in one half of the screen its different shots of the scene in the other frame, or shots of what the characters in the other frame are talking about, or shots of someone on the other side of the hotel doing something sneaky.
i'm so into this!!

Hey I watched Wicked Wicked too -- it was pretty great! The stabber reminded me so much of Jeffrey Dahmer that I felt genuinely creeped out for a while. His mask was gross. The songs were also awesome.
Duovision kind of made me want to barf though, too overstimulating.

Which Gaslight? Thorold Dickinson original with Anton Walbrook?
Gotta love those Earrings.
― Fotheringeir (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 15 January 2012 00:34 (1 year ago) Permalink
1944, Ingrid Bergman.

s'okay, but the other one is better.

Anton Walbrook still has that Old World European reserve whereas Charles Boyer got a little hammy in Hollywood. He's great in Earrings... though

huge blindspot for me so i'm excited to watch (almost) all of these:http://www.tcm.com/this-month/article/474213%7C0/70-s-Sci-Fi-4-21.html

the beach party movies are (predictably) dumb. i think i was hoping for more and now i'm kinda wishing todd haynes made some kind of meticulously stylized pastiche version of a beach party movie that secretly explored in melodrama style the tensions undergirding the beach party movie conventions. seriously, tho, are any of these good enough to be worth watching? even the names sound interchangeable.

They Live is not without its own virtues, but it's mostly worth reading so you can know what's being talked about in Jonathan Lethem's awesome book on the film.

*worth WATCHING, of course.
Tourneur's STARS IN MY CROWN is on TONIGHT! It's a sweet gentle dream of a movie, probably better than TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD in any medium.

Originally I thought they were airing Late Summer.
This makes a helluva lot more sense as part of a triple feature that includes Little Darlings, though.

Spike Lee as guest programmer on Thursday July 5...Ace In The Hole, Night of the Hunter and On The Waterfront.
Will finally get to see the former. If you haven't, for unfathomable some reason, seen the latter two, cancel any and all plans.

i've seen Ace in the Hole and On the Waterfront - two of my fave films of all time. never saw Night of the Hunter tho.

Can't get too cocky as I've never seen Ace, but seriously...you are not allowed to do anything else til you've seen NotH.
Also, Friday has a run of Jimmy Stewart westerns followed by D'Zullawski's Posession. It's ok/healthy if I don't leave my house for the rest of the week, right?
