Whoa, you're a regular Chris Hardwick!

Hey, I'm a DC-area person. I've seen four of the five movies showing next week, so I think I'll pass, but I'd be interested in future AVC DC meetups.

I, too, get extremely emotional watching the Up movies. And not just during the sections on Neil or the more obviously tragic stories, even during the relatively stable people like Tony. There's something about seeing a whole life play out in front of your eyes that is inherently tragic, even if that life is happy.

Ooh, I didn't know the new TSPDT list had come out. Thanks! This is like Christmas morning.

That's interesting about Heller. This is the first Waugh I've read. I have a collection of four of his earlier, more satirical novels (including Scoop), so I'll most likely read those next.

@avclub-cfe912f5cb3aa572bd1c9ae2a9b82207:disqus That's awesome! Is Andersen going to be at the screening?

Whoa, I metioned Los Angeles Plays Itself up above! The Bradbury Building, which was featured heavily in Blade Runner, might be a good one. Hipsters like Blade Runner, right?

"Let's Talk About John Pokemodis" is my favorite title, but I think the one I'd be mostly likely to actually see is "…And The Stranger Touched Him."

As opposed to Antichrist, which claimed to be a Tarkovsky homage, and felt nothing like it.

I've never been all that into the whole Scientology-is-wacko stuff, but I did read Wright's article in the New Yorker about Paul Haggis that preceded this book, and it was excellent. So I'm thinking I might check it out. Seems like a fun read.

Oh…that sucks!

I had no interest in seeing Vamps until I read earlier today that it has a scene where the characters discuss Siegfried Kracauer, so maybe I'll end up watching it someday after all.

Agreed (well, actually I'd say Zero Dark Thirty was the most overrated, but that's another story), but I can see why, despite being merely solid, it's winning all these awards since it flatters Hollywood's sense of importance, and it's loaded with little semi-insidery throwaway lines that you just know old Hollywood…

Something I was thinking about during Argo (this is going to be a ramble:

Hell Week starts today! NOW DRINK PLEDGE!!!!

That professor sounds awesome. As you can tell from my watch list this weekend, I'm trying to get a little deeper into African film.

Are you suggesting Kubrick may have encoded the secret to peer-to-peer file-sharing in The Shining?!

Yeah, I definitely want to watch more. A few films of his are on Youtube, but, unfortunately, the ones I tried don't seem to have English subtitles that work when I'm streaming through my Blu-Ray player.

How did you see Room 237? Is it playing in theaters yet?

Hey everybody! Here's what I watched/listened to/read this weekend.
