I didn't really like it, tbh. Hayworth is great, of course, but the plot felt overwrought.

A Real Pain that should read...the ambiguity of which I loved.

I love Slade in Flame. Solid document of crap 70s Britain imo

Dunno if it's been discussed, but I just saw and really enjoyed "Good One." Reminded me of a couple of things, like Kelly Reichardt movies and "Leave No Trace." Everyone is good but especially Lily Collias.

are the early spielbergs worth watching? I've only seen the columbo episode.

Eyes is good, from the Night Gallery pilot movie. Make Me Laugh is okay, from a Night Gallery series episode, but twice as long as it needs to be. Savage is a competently done procedural pilot that does not make you wish it had gone to series. Something Evil is a pretty weak haunted house story with a few good camera moves.Duel absolutely rips, and there’s a good copy of the TV version on archive dot org — the disc version is horrifyingly AI “upscaled,,” with waxy melting faces, shape-changing teeth and depth of field turned random.Amblin’ is kind of interesting for pointing up that its auteur was absolutely right to pursue purely commercial audience-driven work; he simply does not have anything to say in a formally playful work about counter-culture individuals. (I watched a dire rip on youtube, though— it might be more sensually enjoyable projected in good quality.)Still have LA 2017 to get to from the TV years, but hadn’t seen Sugarland Express before, and that is a total delight. (And unlike Amblin’, does manage to combine a little movie brat / new hollywood tone with his core theme of “an American nuclear family disrupted is the most foreboding thing that can be depicted”)

We should be able to get a few years out of this one before it gets unwieldy.― 16, 35, DCP, Go! (sic), Friday, August 10, 2018
We got our few years--time for part III.
