Oh man, scariest movie ever.

Beatles for Sale may be road-weary, but it has enough classic cuts to be considered a classic - "I'll Follow the Sun" and "What You're Doing," to start with.

Great, great song.

Excuse me?! He only won because of an _illegal_ kick to the head.

No, FUCK YOU!

"There’s the hostile bum who turns a student’s video project into his own
misanthropic soapbox. (“All you workers out there: Every single
commodity you produce is a piece of your own death!”)"

Stop defending this asshole. Who are you, his fucking lawyer?

Proust is about as far from pop culture as you can get.

Zorns Lemma is a masterpiece, you cretin.

I know, what the fuck? The ignorance of some of these writers is pretty dispiriting.

No, it's very easy. I completed it several years ago, no problem.

Classical music is not pop culture. It's just culture.

You seem awfully pleased with yourself for having read a few large works of literature.

Are you fucking nuts? "A Hard Day's Night" is a masterpiece.

There is no "most representative" work in Marker's oeuvre. His period went through a lot of phases.

"Sans Soleil" truly is a great essay film, and anyone who has a visceral reaction against is probably fucked in the head. Perhaps good cinema isn't for you?

Well, the fucking asshole and liar Robert Stam, who teaches cinema at NYU, pronounces it "mark-EHR", so I go with "MARK-er."

"Though there are hints of the conflicted activist spirit that drove Marker’s other great essay-doc, A Grin Without A Cat (1977)…."

@avclub-1982161d0fe636d1caabd47a2ac23e12:disqus Once again, I agree with washington - "Detective" is a very good movie, I'd say perhaps one of JLG's most underrated. It is tremendously interesting for several reasons, not least of which is the movements within frame.

I completely agree. He was in top form all throughout the 80s, from Passion onwards.
