Ugh. There was a guy* who wrote for the campus Republican newsrag in college who had “London Calling” as his ringtone. It galled me. That guy probably thinks he’s not working for the clampdown. Come on man, you are the clampdown!

Once ages ago an AV Club commenter described it as “The Citizen Kane of movies about men wearing hats” and that’s still how I think of it.

The old man’s still an artist with a Thompson gun.

If you live in a large city, you can likely find a little art cinema that screens them- I used to go to the Midtown Art Cinema in Atlanta, now I have a couple options in Pittsburgh (Regent Square Cinema and Rowhouse Cinema) that show the nominated shorts.
