There's also Paris, Texas, L'Argent, Nostalghia, Scarface, Project A and Pauline at the Beach. I've also heard good stuff about The Hunger, The Ballad of Narayama, The Boys from Fengkui, Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence, Eureka, Born in Flames and Nesto izmedu, too. All in all a pretty fantastic movie year.

Isn't that the version that comes with La Jetee? Really solid two-fer right there.

As the story indicates, my family is a bit… unusual. Always good to run into a Bangladeshi in the vastness of the Internet.

I'm Bangladeshi, actually. My parents just went abroad to study. I have a sister.

It'll be Tristram Shandy for the 21st Century!!

Okay, so here goes my first Embarrassing Story Corner, WARNING: It's REALLY long and kind of extremely difficult to believe.

So who else thinks Unicorn is the best. Just me? Ok then…

So I'm not the only one who read "woman" and became immediately happy and then became instantly sad when I thought about what this says about the state of things?

The thing I really appreciate about Mad Men's cinematography is that, aside from looking beautiful (I was taking screencaps from Season 6 a coupla days ago and even absolutely random shots are stupendously gorgeous), is also insanely good at conveying story and ideas visually. I love Breaking Bad's cinematography too…

For a second I mis-read the title and thought the Jean Rollin revolution was upon us. But alas…

I can see it now:

FOUR MORE YEARS! FOUR MORE YEARS!

@avclub-9ff7c9eb9d37f434db778f59178012da:disqus and even comparing TV and Film performances is tricky because of the differences in the medium. It's like comparing novels and short stories or even sculpture and architecture. There are very definite similarities but there's also a whole lotta complications going on.

@avclub-d7f43e1fb2d4977c86163d9b0cb07814:disqus  There are some movies that I can kind of just get lost in because of elements like production design and cinematography, but those movies have to be "designed" to rely on those elements. The first time I saw Peter Greenaway's "The Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her…

I don't think anybody other than Fassbinder was doing much good acting in that movie. And I'd say the dialogue was pretty bad (the "———-… FATHER!" line is still hilarious). But main problems I have with Prometheus are mostly story based. The movie wanted to do something ambitious and then just ended up doing something…

There must be some kinda crazy Internet magic going on but I've come across at least 4 references to the Guernica in online comments in the last 31 hours. Maybe I should look into this sleep thing people tell me about.

I'd say try you might want to check out Gaiman's children's novels. I found Coraline and especially The Graveyard Book to be a lot better than American Gods.

Superman II managed to do that in pretty much the EXACT SAME FIGHT. Near the climax Supes tries to take the other Kryptonians to the Fortress of Solitude instead of tearing through Metropolis. So what I'm saying is they really don't have an excuse.

They've given posthumous awards before though, haven't they?

TWO people chose to write about Best Costume Design. Neither chose Ishioka for Mirror Mirror. Does not compute.
