https://filmgrab.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/6410.jpg?w=1000&h= The Third Man , written by Graham Greene (!) and directed by Carol Reed. A ridiculous plot with an idiotic protagonist that is a lot of fun. The emotional impact of the final scene is, despite being completely unearned, weirdly affecti...

Loved Personal Shopper - i would argue that the trip to Oman was crucial because the phantasmal incidents only occur when she is at peace, or at a distance from her guilt, whereupon it remanifests itself. this is, of course, only my interpretation...

Seeing Collosal tomorrow, anyone seen it yet?

fuckin' Memory Lame

those things could kill you but so could your face

Choo Choo generic disaffected twentysomething male taste coming through Duos for Doris Four Gentleman of the Guitar (SO GOOD and I don't see it on these lists very often, which flummoxes me no end) The Breadwinner Objets Infernaux Medium Rude With profuse apologies to Good Morning Good Night, Chaos ...

Can anyone think of a TV show with copious amounts of nudity that isn't a terrible action/historical/fantasy shitshow? Something still and meditative, as slow as television as a medium allows?

Also ya Mr. Robot is on the up, when it's contrived it's contrived as hell but when it's on it's ON
