Crumb is o_O Bizarrely fascinating even if, like me, you know next to nothing about him. "Benefit" I dunno...

I more or less learned to read by reading my dad's underground comix so Crumb is a touchstone as much as Dr. Seuss or Big Bird really. I remember liking the doc but i last saw it when it was first released; probably due for a rescreening.

Trio of pre-Hollywood Hitchcocks tonight: The 39 Steps, The Lady Vanishes, Sabotage. I watched The Lady Vanishes just a few weeks ago, but it still sounds like a good way to spend 5 hrs.

I had watched Stromboli earlier in the week, the subtitled version on Hulu/Criterion. All the dialogue was in Italian, including Bergman's, and I didn't think anything of it. Last night during the baseball game I switched over briefly and saw that it was a dubbed version, with some dialogue differences -- much more effective, as the Italian villagers' dialogue wasn't dubbed and it did a great job of conveying Karin's isolation due to not being able to speak/understand the local language.

It is too long and and I think there are parts that might have aged badly, but there is also some good stuff in there. Differently worth watching. Then after watching read the book.

Why wouldn't you want Europa 51 in English, to hear Bergman's voice? (also, all Italian films of the era are dubbed, including into Italian)
otoh having to hear Ingrid and Sanders dubbed into Italian in Voyage in Italy is silly.

Watching LBM now. Recently reread the book so sometimes feel a slight disappointment at various details gone missing and emphases shifted but some things movie has that book doesn't: John Hammond's bluesmoaning soundtrack, bigger role for Allardyce T. Meriweather, as played Martin Balsam- "Listen to me! Two legged creature will believe anything, and the more preposterous the better: whales speak French at the bottom of the sea" etc- and Chief Dan George.

There are moments of broad comedy in the film that are indistinguishable from something like Support Your Local Gunfighter whereas the the tone of the book never falters. Hey, looks like a new batch of Thomas Berger ebooks appeared last week.

tonight: For All Mankind, 2010, Forbidden Planet

Cool Thx.
I was too hard on LBM. Both of the big set pieces, The Battle of the Washita and the Battle of the Little Bighorn are really well done, Robert Mulligan's Custer has grown on me and yeah, Chief Dan George, Chief Dan George.
Anyone who watched, is watching or will watch For All Mankind please see if you can respond to this unanswered question: Apollo 8 anniversary RFI: which astronaut brought along "Sleepwalk" on his spaceman Walkman?

This is a good basic take on Who's That Knocking At My Door, under its original title, I Call First. Scorcese's full-length debut (90 minutes, but quite full), court reporter Keitel's debut too. Good basic, but doesn't get into the sometimes inspired, nobody-but-early-Marty S. bursts (opening has a childhood memory of Granny, smiling, bringing the camera a nice big treat from the oven, to the tune of what sounds like a subway zombie beating a railroad tie on a defunct third rail, in perfect rhythm--another side of the 60s)(it's a thoughtful investigation of/romp with the macho fuckhead mentality, like all his best and some not-so-good flicks) Anyway, here's young Ebert's first glimpse: http://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/i-call-first--whos-that-knocking-at-my-door-1967

Symbiopsychowhatchamacallit is worth seeing, but kind of like a stoned dream of visiting improvised scenes on the set of Mad Men (something to keep the third-tier supporting cast on their toes; no stars).
