@fauxbeatpoet.bsky.social Question for a fellow Feelies head. This is from an interview with Bill Million; probably a long shot, but do you have any inkling of who the Japanese band is?

Jan 31 I’m at Metrograph introducing two films and signing books. One of the films is George Romero’s Land of the Dead (2005), which Nick Pinkerton interviewed about for Metrograph’s online journal. The other is Billy Wilder’s Ace in the Hole (1951). metrograph.com/a-s-hamrah-i...
Let the Dead Bury the Dead: A. S. Hamrah in Conversation - Journal - Metrograph
On the so-called “death” of theatrical moviegoing, Romero’s oft overlooked fourth Land of the Dead (2005), and a whole lot more.

I've been dying to tell people I wrote the essay for TROUBLE IN PARADISE, a true Lubitsch masterpiece, and now I can. It's hilarious, it's gorgeous, there's nothing like it, and spending time with Trouble last year soothed my soul. www.criterion.com/films/723-tr....

2025 didn't bring me many pleasant surprises, but Abel Ferrara's "Scene" was one of them. As were the films I watched or re-watched alongside it for research. (Gift link) www.wsj.com/arts-culture...
‘Scene’ Review: The Hungry Eye
Abel Ferrara’s movies are often driven by the consequences of extreme impulses. Much of his career has also been defined by a taste for immoderate behavior.

Michel Piccoli was born 100 years ago today. Even an abridged list of his directors carries a whole history of film: Godard, Buñuel, Varda, Demy, Vadim, Chabrol, Sautet, Chahine, Allégret, Tavernier, Resnais, Bava, de Oliveira, Costa-Gavras, Malle, Rivette, Corbucci, Ruiz, Bellocchio, Hitchcock.

Obviously THE WIRE, INSIDE MAN, TANGERINE and TREME (where he plays the most accurate on-screen stoner chef), but don’t sleep on Frank V. Ross’s BLOOMIN MUD SHUFFLE, in which he gives a casually great lead performance that he should have been offered to duplicate annually.

Yeah I could watch a screener of a new movie. Or I could watch a bad VHS rip of something that aired on British television and make my soul sing.

LA FEMME DOUCE is a haunting film and part of that is the strange sussurations of its soundtrack.

The plaque at Raul Ruiz’s house in Santiago is almost unreadable at this point. Almost thinking of doing a fundraiser to clean it or replace it.

Some insufficient, drive-by thoughts on MARTY SUPREME, one of the funnest and funniest movies of the year. Was happy with it not being “about” much, but then it reveals its hand at the last minute and everything snaps into place…
Josh Safdie’s #MartySupreme is a propulsive, epic melodrama that finds Timothée Chalamet reaching a new pinnacle, tapping into a vein of reckless self-destruction and a willingness to sacrifice charisma.
