Goddamn. I hadn't heard that song before, but I'm already in love.

I've also listened to The Way I Should, which is maybe not as good as those other two, but still a must if you liked them. "I'll Take My Sorrow Straight" is a pure country saloon ballad. Good stuff.

That's a great one. "Our Town" is probably my favorite, after all is said and done. But it's tough competition.

I saw The Revenant today, and Carol a few days ago.

Also, since we have not heard from her as a group in awhile, I shall offer up this little update on a member of this board:

After a sort of long absence, Film Tank is finally back and released the first episode of the year: The Hateful Eight.

Time to have a Whit Stillman marathon, because I just secured my films for Sundance 2016 this month, and Love & Friendship is on the docket!

I watched 408 films in 2015. Roughly 44% of those were re-watches, and 56% of those were first time viewing.

Making my Sundance schedule caused me to have to cut Love and Friendship out of my lineup because it conflicted with too many other films I wanted to see. Which is awful, because I love Whit Stillman. But not enough to cut out 3-4 films that also sound fantastic.

Man, movie titles are getting pretty unoriginal these days.

My uncle passed away this holiday season, my mother's brother. My mom is not dealing with it very well (she's a very sensitive person, more than the average person I would say). For Christmas, I got her an engraved wooden picture frame that says: "I will always love my big brother," with a picture of the two of them…

I talked about it at length on my podcast, but I just basically did not care for the way that the cast of the new generation were only along for a nostalgia ride. It was all good set-up… but I don't like that stretched that across an entire film, and it leaves a bad taste in my mouth if I have to see another film just…

PUT THE COOKIE DOWN.

Because one is (supposedly) awful, and the other is actually a pretty cool and brooding character study of The Wolverine as it pastiches together superhero films with samurai films, and I really dig it.

I see it'll be at Barrington, too. I'll probably shoot for that, then.

How great would this film be if it went down the Planes, Trains and Automobiles path (since it already kind of harkens back to that holiday film) and revealed that Sinbad's kid died tragically years ago, and this was just a man grieving annually for the loss of his son as he puts a toy under the tree every year, only…

Rank the X-Men movies everyone!

Evanston?

Finally, an episode where I get to talk about TV…

Oh, I see this comment now.
