In some respects, absolutely.

Good catch. Thank you!

Pasolini and Rossellini leap to mind…

Sorry :( We're all hurting.

That's a pretty good one, actually. Though I'm not sure Lars makes a "huge profit" doing what he does.

Yeah, that Netflix disc is a travesty.

Pretty close, yeah. Godard has been known to literally throw words up on screen, often over the images (which Von Trier does here, too). And Dogville uses the chalk outlines as a Brecht-worthy distancing device.

More of an A.A. Milne thing, I guess. I tend to slip into the character of Eeyore when writing reviews. He has a very C+ attitude about the world.

Andrew Alexander, to be precise. And that cookie was a total B+.

Welp, I liked RoboCop.

Fixed. Thank you.

Thanks. Fixing.

Good catch. Thank you.

There are a few inspired jokes. The pop song so cool that it's silent made me laugh pretty hard.

I actually kind of like Pootie Tang. But I feel as though that's not the general consensus on that one…

It's a DVD/Blu-ray review. New to Criterion.

Ahhh, dumb. Yeah, you're right. I wrote this on an airplane. Fast. Thanks!

It was a secret screening, so I didn't *technically* know it was going to be the Von Trier. But in retrospect, I still would have made the same choice.

Maybe "star" is the wrong word. But this feels like the one that's going to put him on a lot of people's radars; mark my words, he'll get cast in the new joint from some heavyweight soon enough.

D'oh! A stupid mistake. Good eyes.
