My one major beef with MUBI is some download weirdness.

Le Bao's Taste is very strange. It has arresting images but is inscrutable. There is almost no dialogue or explanation of events. It is a step further removed from Pedro Costa in that it shows an oppressed environment but it doesn't offer any context

So next week’s NYC GO offering is MEET ME IN THE BATHROOM? Don’t know how I feel about that. Also just a notice that WIFE OF A SPY is leaving soon but no sign of when.
― Me and the Major on the Moon (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 10 November 2022 02:25 (one year ago) link
Hmm.. Don't see WIFE OF A SPY here, which is usually the best way to see what's leaving. https://mubi.com/specials/leaving-soon

MUBI hype injection into the James Redd cranial pleasuredome almost as intense with this as with DECISION TO LEAVE.

I feel exactly the same although I may go see the first thing anyway just because, just because…because I still have a krush0r on Karen O from the time I saw her hanging around MoMA downstairs when Spike Jonze interviewed Maurice Sendak? Or was it the other way around? I mean interview-wise.

The ground underneath the Kingdom is an old swamp.

Hmm, I got an alert about THE KINGDOM but I guess I still have to wait a few hours.
Ran over to see Netflix’s WHITE NOISE at the Angelika at the last minute yesterday, sorry forks for not letting you know.

Recent reviews on this have been a bit of an about-face from its initial TIFF/NYFF buzz

I hadn't read anything in advance. I didn't really even know who was in it except for the couple. When I blinked and figured out who was playing the nun I almost laughed.

Likely gonna see Nanny on Tuesday night at IFC at an open captioned screening as that's what my schedule allows. "Horror-version of Sembene's Black Girl" is of interest to me.

With MUBI GO? Seems like not too many showings available.
― Soda Stereo Total (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 4 December 2022 22:22 (one year ago) link
Yeah. I wanted to go Monday but my MUBI buddy wasn't available so we pushed to the subtitles. Looks like IFC is just running this for awards season qualification which is a surprise given the substantial hype surrounding it.

ended up paying for this again because I fancied a Chan-Wook weekend. I re-watched Thirst which I've always liked (it seemed far funnier in parts than I noticed the first time) and watched Joint Security Area which is all over the place but basically v good.

RIP, Mike Hodges. May be time to re-watch CROUPIER.

Had a “your MUBI retrospective 2022” email, which informs me that I watched 14 films in 2022 - placing which me in the top 21% of MUBI users. I wonder how much use the average subscriber makes of it.
― Luna Schlosser, Wednesday, 21 December 2022 10:04 (one year ago) link
Good question. I feel like maybe it undercounts somehow, like if you didn’t watch something to the very end it’s not in there?
― A Kestrel for a Neve (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 21 December 2022 10:41 (one year ago) link
l definitely didn't complete all of the films listed. I think I only saw 11 films in full.
― Luna Schlosser, Wednesday, 21 December 2022 11:02 (one year ago) link
Any streamer is more likely to do the opposite for their metrics: if you watched just a little bit it counts.

Guess I should watch his other one, THE NILE HILTON INCIDENT
really! It didn't look of much interest. You recommend?
― POLIZISTEN VERSINKEN IM SCHLAMM (forksclovetofu), Friday, 3 February 2023 04:05 (one year ago) link
Yeah, but's it's kind of up my alley, not yours I don't think. Middle Eastern things shot in other countries. See also HOLY SPIDER and Apple TV+'s TEHRAN (the first season anyway).
― And Your Borad Can Zing (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 3 February 2023 04:16 (one year ago) link
hm, yeah i dunno. i should deffo watch holy spider.

Holy Spider is very good indeed.

So, um, MUBI GO is starting to be a premium and the number of screenings this week is kind of limited. I think I may still keep it though.

From the current crop of Leaving In 3 Days I think my first pick for myself might be THE APPLE, by Samira Makhmalbaf.
