1995: shit year for movies

i look back at LA with fondness from my current abode in DC,

always gets cool at night. trust me….it is paradise.

It is difficult to understand until you experience sunny and 75 with gentle breezes and no humidity for 100 days in a row. Also, there are these big snow covered (in winter) mountains

I remember that too. 'The Kid' was seen as kinda cheesy back in the 80's…too sincere by a half. Using 'The Kid' as my cultural thermometer, I begin to think film criticism has gotten warmer through the years. Cold, academic detachment is dead!

when I need a Buster Keaton fix: 'A Hard Act To Follow' is free on youtube. :-)

anything with Andie MacDowell is worth watching.

good to know.

For me, Hitchcock's black and white films are a joy, and his color films are simply inexplicable: this is supposed to be scary? this is tension? she is sexy? that is a really bad set. etc.

First: does anyone else have one sibling who always wanted to play Monopoly….and is now much wealthier (in real life) than everyone else? Second: Anyone got a guide on how to always win at Parcheesi?

great movie.

you'll never make it Dewey!

Janie's got a gun.

someone from silver linings playbook won an oscar?

thanks Melanie Patrick more than BFI. dense, clear and concise.

'On Liberty and other Essays' JS Mill

Never even heard of it. Welles as Falstaff + Gielgud….bam! Just when I think I'm scrapping the bottom of the great cinema barrel…. :-) Thanks AV Club!

chuckle.

yawn.

me too. pitch perfect scene.
