What prompted me to write about this? Maggie May Fish’s explanation on Twin Peaks (part 1).
I had to opportunity to go and see Ennio, the documentary on Ennio Morricone released last year, so I took it.
A few weeks back I was looking at the schedule of my local art house theater and noticed a movie I hadn’t heard about: Sound of Violence, or Conductor in major markets. For some reason, the blurb mentions James Jagger being part of the cast. He is actually only third billed, but because of his parentage (Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall), he is still the one used in marketing. And his parents were specifically mentioned as well.
Just make sure that you are not reading this on false pretenses, I don’t actually have an answer here. Sorry, if that was what you were looking for.
Also, I didn’t hate the movie. I just didn’t find it was very good. But since everything seems to be working in it’s favor, I found it weird that I just didn’t like it that much.
For once, I’m early. Usually I’ve seen quite a limited number of movies from a specific year at this point.
This is about spoilers, so it is going to include spoilers on various films and one TV show. These include Witness for the Prosecution, Anatomy of a Murder, The Matrix, Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, Squid Game and I Don’t Want to Be a Man. All of which you’ve already seen or never will.
I was working on my Netflix queue yesterday and as part of this watched The Harder They Fall. It’s a pretty new western with all the named characters being black. (And yes, like the movie informs us in the beginning, there were plenty of black people in the so-called Wild West.)
Let’s talk about movie ratings.
Openly gay, atheist and communist in a society that found each of these unacceptable. No wonder I find Pier Paolo Pasolini one of my favorite directors. The thing is, his movies are not my favorites. They are fine and interesting, but not something I’ll go back and watch again and again.
