McKellar: Highway 61, 32 Short Films About Glenn Gould, Exotica

Publicity-seeking doesn't work that way. They will never have any trouble finding people to be on the show. If this results in extra attention for Bachmann, and it looks like it has, they'll be beating back the right-wing dunderheads with a stick.

It's the one remake I've specifically avoided so it doesn't tarnish my admiration for the original. I don't generally feel that way about remakes or anything, because they don't generally have that power, but from all I've heard this might be an exception.

I think History of the Hog Line is a better curling picture.

I used to watch Twitch City. It was a little bit Canadian with a K if you know what I mean, but a pretty smart show. A nice antidote to The King of Kensington if you have any appreciation for that area.

Apparently we do have these people hidden away somewhere. I don't know any of them either, but they must emerge now and again to vote for Harper and comment on the National Post or Globe websites.

It's less a good movie than an unbroken series of awesome scenes. 

Not sure it's ?uestlove sends out the invites.

WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO WIPE THESE FINE MOVIES FROM YOUR MEMORY!

Thank you very much for your observation.

"You horsehead!"

No, I was talking about The Sheepdoggs.

Seems like a great guy. I played that album over and over way back when - it's so goldurn catchy.

I, a Canadian and a music lover, have heard of none of those bands.

And lo, striding across the land with their beards and stink lines trailing behind them came a new musical aggregation from Canada: The Sheepdoggs. It's the new Nickelback, and I'm telling you Yanquis about it now because forewarned is forearmed, I guess.

It was. I've got the DVD and I like the movie, but I'll always prefer that special version I saw lo those many years ago.

There was just a little mini-discussion of Flicker on this site last week, on the Paulene Kael biography review.

I saw Masculin Féminin at an art gallery when I was young and thought "wow, that Godard's even more avant garde than I thought! With the titles in the middle of the movie and all that!" Turns out of course all the reels had been run out of order.

It's like a mad scientist created an evil talentless robot version of the Tragically Hip, wound them up and pointed them south, to conquer the land one stadium and Clear Channel station at a time.

I'm an unabashed film lover. I am very glad to have had the chance to make at least one (very low-budget) feature early enough that I shot it on (16mm) film and cut it on a Steenbeck flatbed editing machine, using scissors and tape and all. It was a great experience.
