Wren and I are going to be making each other laugh with this story for the rest of our lives.

I've seen two (neither made my top 10), quit on two, and will almost definitely never see four of the others. (Looking forward to Marty Supreme and will probably indulge in Avatar to see what Cameron is doing with 3D these days.)

God bless Linklater for somehow managing to remain a conceptual artist in a commercial medium after all these years. I found Nouvelle Vague totally fascinating for about 15 minutes. And then I got really bored.

Cate Blanchett isn't in it, though?

A friend suggested Ethan Hawke. Maybe Walter Goggins?

Jonas Mekas's 1961 Village Voice review of The Misfits is one of my favorite short pieces of film criticism. www.villagevoice.com/jonas-mekas-...

Decision at Sundown is the best Ranown western for a lot of reasons, but mostly because it casts Randolph Scott as a dim-witted cuckold, the ideal use of his screen persona. Sundown is full of idiots and cowards. I love it!

The third one is a decent stand-alone movie. My favorite Cuaron, probably.

Damn they were in Asheville two weeks ago.
