Yes.

This is going to sound crazy, but I crushed hard on Toshiro Mifune after Rashomon.  He's somehow both crazy feral and vulnerable in that movie

As fun as Raising Arizona is, that ending just tears me apart inside.

For me, that moment is the two of them sitting above the beach, when he realizes he can't win… She asks, "This is it, Joel.  So what are we going to do?" and he shrugs and says "Enjoy it", because that's pretty much all you can do.

Zardoz is definitely a move that fails high (or in old Rabinspeak, a fiasco rather than a failure).  I get what he's going for, and the allegorical stuff is fun if somewhat shallower than Boorman seems to think… But it doesn't make much of an impact underneath the layers upon layers of bad taste.

Do we get a TV show now?  Six movies and a season?

Awards from Un Certain Regard competition (this appears to be the most awards ever given by this jury):

What's your take on his short entry in Paris, je t'aime?  For my money, it's better than any of his feature-length films.

@avclub-997c221538094d134659141cf61d51e3:disqus : Really?  Not even 400 Blows?

In the Dazed and Confused sequel I imagine that Matthew McConaughey is still chasing high school girls and now has a rap sheet as a sexual predator.

Not as clockwork-regular, but the Doinel films at least check in at various points in his life (ages 12, 15, 21, 23, and 33.)

Best of the three movies.  I saw it last week and then rewatched the first two (which I love), and there's no doubt in my mind…  The first movie has its clunky spots (that's part of its charm) and the second stumbles a bit in the beginning trying to find its feet, but this one is front to back more fluid, more…

I wish he'd at least do capsule explanations of his walkouts.  I understand why he doesn't want to review them - I think that's a good policy, actually - but I'd love a line or two on the reasons why he thought it was no longer worth sitting through to the end.

It was bedazzled before bedazzling was a thing.

True, but I'm also glad we're drifting away from cutesy euphemisms for abuse: there's a lot of 'Sinatra had "stormy" or "tempestuous" relationships with his women.'  i.e. he hit them.

Are you kidding?  People still worship Frank Sinatra.  Chris Brown is no rara avis, he's a pop culture cliché: the abusive singer with adoring fans.

@avclub-22eda830d1051274a2581d6466c06e6c:disqus : there are a lot of Jewish references in the movie, but as long as you've got the Book of Job down pretty well, the rest are mostly window dressing.  I'm not Jewish but I'm a big fan of Job, and I was surprised how well the movie wrestled with what's really one of the…

I wish I'd have come across Bradbury when I was younger, because I find him hard to read for the first time as an adult: his writing is usually pretty bad, the characters flat, and outside the Big Idea that usually motivates the story, there isn't often much else there.

@avclub-3f0120c8dcf9d18404640edbed84e57d:disqus : agreed on most of that, but I think what elevates the movie to greatness is the fact that the moderately dedicated cop has to lose some sense of trust and faith in order to catch the criminals - it's that sad realization that allows her to figure out that Lundergard…

Have you read the Lem novel, by any chance?  So far all the reviews mention it's based on the book, but I've read the book, and I don't recognize anything from the same universe as the book in the trailer.
