Happy Hour is 5 1/2 hours long, I have it on 2 dvds, watched it in segments, really loved it

A Separation is fantastic and also worth watching

Dan S, Thursday, 21 April 2022 01:24 (one year ago) link

Thanks. Asako I & II is also on MUBI with no hint of it going away (although maybe the alert will happen in a few days who knows) so maybe I should finally sit down and watch Happy Hour first.

Wile E. Kinbote (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 21 April 2022 01:29 (one year ago) link

Just looked at the MUBI expiry list *sigh*

Wile E. Kinbote (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 21 April 2022 02:04 (one year ago) link

The Separation was great, I remember
Hmm I should jump on Asako before it goes, i don't have Mubi

Terence Davies, nice. Definitely also want to check out Chameleon Street, the Karen Dalton and free jazz docs, and 'Round Midnight.

Hans Holbein (Chinchilla Volapük), Friday, 20 May 2022 15:07 (one year ago) link

I like that they seem to be continuously adding things to the Beyond Blaxploitation collection

seeing Body Heat I briefly wondered if they were actually doing my You Must Remember This tie-in idea in time to coincide with possibly the least likely series for them to do that with

Pre-code Paramount is a treat

adam t. (abanana), Thursday, 26 May 2022 04:12 (one year ago) link

Never seen any Davies, looking forward to that. And happily watch Foreign Affair, my favourite Wilder movie, yet again

Chuck_Tatum, Thursday, 26 May 2022 08:17 (one year ago) link

It's a good one, even though the lead is kind of weird, as discussed in the Cameron Crowe book.

20 Preflyte Rock (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 26 May 2022 14:39 (one year ago) link

But really came to post that I just watched Synonyms before it left, by the always interesting Nadav Lapid.

20 Preflyte Rock (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 26 May 2022 14:41 (one year ago) link

I have not seen A Foreign Affair! Inexplicably hard to find on video, DVD, YouTube...

Malevolent Arugula (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 26 May 2022 14:51 (one year ago) link

Some great musical numbers - with Friedrich Hollaender! Jean Arthur is a little problematic, maybe, one of her nervous latter day performances, although some might disagree.

20 Preflyte Rock (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 26 May 2022 15:21 (one year ago) link

She's never persuaded me: an unexciting mix of the coy and the cute.

Malevolent Arugula (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 26 May 2022 15:22 (one year ago) link

Not even in stuff like The More the Merrier?

20 Preflyte Rock (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 26 May 2022 15:31 (one year ago) link

I tolerate her. She's the least interesting performer in Only Angels Have Wings.

Malevolent Arugula (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 26 May 2022 15:32 (one year ago) link

It's fine. Many people (like Orson Welles) can't stand Irene Dunne.

20 Preflyte Rock (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 26 May 2022 20:22 (one year ago) link

One of my favorite discoveries has been Tom Noonan's What Happened Was... one of the most effective movies I've seen about possibly being too idiosyncratic to form a connection with anybody. Obviously a big influence on Charlie Kaufman but not as overbearing as he can be.

i had just put blue collar on hold at the library to finally watch it, so now i get to cancel that hold

does anyone understand the streaming rights of criterion enough to know if they'll ever put nashville on criterion channel? seems like they would have done it by now if it was going to happen

na (NA), Tuesday, 26 July 2022 13:24 (one year ago) link

I keep thinking there must be a big database out there somewhere, where you can enter a film and find out who "owns" it, who owns the physical media rights and the separate streaming rights, what the current disposition of those rights are and maybe even the history. I see a fair number of know-it-alls on the CC Club facebook group who can rattle off that data at will, and I want to know where they get their intel.

WmC, Tuesday, 26 July 2022 13:31 (one year ago) link

huh, sounds intense

i just noticed We Are the Best! on the list, that movie rules

na (NA), Tuesday, 26 July 2022 13:34 (one year ago) link

Getting through a few films slated to leave Criterion at the end of the month I watched The Big Knife (1955) last night. Based on a Clifford Odets play, the situations and dialogue are so overwrought it's fascinating, especially Rod Steiger's scenery-chewing film studio head. (I had somehow seen a bit of this movie years ago and remembered his over-the-top performance.) Anyone else seen this/a fan?

I tried Big Knife when I was a teenager after falling in love with Sweet Smell of Success, but found it Much Too Much. I wonder if SSoS is more Lehman than Odets? You can definitely trace Waiting for Lefty to Big Knife. Sweet Smell, not so much.

The Bronco Bullfrog trailer I saw at Film Forum was really intriguing, still haven’t seen the movie.
