Yeah, I mean, it's not a bad song at all, but it feels mostly serviceable by their standards.

My stand-out on this album is Heavenfaced. After so many listens it's that one song I fall in love with that I find generally gets deeply underrated in their catalogue i.e Ada, Lucky You, England. It's the one song that I found myself getting to and having to repeat a few times before I played the rest of the album.

I disagree about the last three songs, I think they're right up there, but after I Need My Girl I think because they aren't high energy they become a bit harder to grasp, especially since almost all of the album is relatively up-tempo to that point.

All I know is that I've listened to it over 20 times in a week and a half. I'm loving that it's their longest album yet, too, because it feels like an extra treat.

I've been a fan of Le Tigre since I was about 13 (now 20), but then I have the advantage of having a lesbian older sister who introduced me to them, plus Bikini Kill, X-Ray Specs, Sleater-Kinney, Heavens to Betsy, etc.

That said, I'll never understand his walk-out policy, partly

@avclub-5dedb42b34e50082065a783265ce28a8:disqus I think he does have a visual style, it's just not a particularly flashy one, nor does it reinvent the wheel. But it works incredibly well hand-in-hand with the kind of film he makes.

@avclub-cfe912f5cb3aa572bd1c9ae2a9b82207:disqus For the sake of diversity of opinion, I thought Laurence Anyways was a near-masterpiece. I don't know if I'd want to see it for the first time on anything other than in a cinema, though.

I'm hoping I'll be able to see it in July or August, since I'm missing a chance to see it next month. Film festivals are easily accessible in Australia but you've gotta hope you've picked the right days to be there. I did not, in this case. Fortunately our two biggest are within a two months of each other and usually

I'd like to say I'll definitely see it given the chance, but the last time a film with unsimulated gay sex cropped up in Australia - programmed at our various queer film festivals, no less - our Classification Board deigned to ban it from public exhibition. I daresay the same would happen here. So I'll be waiting for

@avclub-3bca94e353e508c1a49bf984fc5c346d:disqus I'd really like it to be something out there like Uncle Boonmee, personally (even though I know Weerasethakul wasn't an unknown quantity). Frankly, just something that isn't as shitty as Amour would be fine.

That's good news; I was a bit concerned because it's 130 minutes where A Separation's taut focus was one of its greatest strengths.

I, for one, am petrified at how The Past turns out. Missing a chance to see it next month at the Sydney Film Festival, so I guess I'll have to wait a while to find out for myself either way. But still…coming off a high as high as A Separation, which really just towers over recent cinema, it's a concern.

This is a good question. Feels like ideal fodder for O'Neal.

Thank god, now I don't have to make decisions.

I'm kinda with you on this count.
