Last night watched the Alvin Lucier documentary No Ideas But In Things, which was very enjoyable. A successful documentary that really gave a good amount of time to each of his compositions, without exceeding 90 some minutes. Great archival footage and interviews w Lucier in 2010. Rest in peace to Lucier. Music 109 by Lucier is a great sorta intro guide book to experimental music, he has a great voice. Also finally got round to watching Blow Up, which is so much fun.. great outfits, cars, apartments, old photo development tech.. just a lot of fun to watch and pretty suspenseful.

I like that Seth movie. It was a real treat to see his weird little world.

I watched Ultrasound, it was pretty good. Seems like they had a low budget but the acting and editing carried it all the way for me. Tunde Adebimpe was great.
The Worst Person in the World was indulgent crap but a step up from the actively offensive Oslo August 31
Turning Red had some beautiful animation and colors in it

I just read that Robert Zemeckis is going to direct an adaptation of Richard McGuire's Here, and Tom Hanks will be part of the cast. This sounds at the same time intriguing and also terrifying. Well, I hope it ends up being a good adaptation.

watched Barton Fink last night. it's the first movie i've watched and really took in in a while. I've slowly figured out that I really like the types of movies that give you a lot of information but that information doesn't really add up to anything. It sort of just feels like a passing scene that you get to watch from afar. and then when the credits rolled I realized that it was a coen brothers movie which I think explains it i've always loved the feelings their movies give you. (I bought it for $3 on Amazon) off topic another movie I watched semi-recently was "europa 1991" its about an american that goes to germany during world war II to be a nazi (I think don't press me on that I watched it a few months ago) but its pretty much like a visual orgy of shots and grand scene transitions. Which sounds horrible when I say it out like that but it really is arresting visually to the point that the story is almost secondary to the visual narrative. (its on HBO MAX) I swear its better than i'm explaining. I watched this movie a while ago as well its called Koyaanisqatsi its a "movie" about industrial society in america. if its about anything its really just long sequences of machines doing various things and people interacting with those machines in various ways. long time lapses either going forward or backward with great great music behind it. good to watch also good to see how long your attention span is. www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6-K-arVl-U |

Always pretty great to watch on the big screen. The second one, Powaqqatsi's got this total wild sequence at the end where all these advertisement images merge and flow together on the screen with fire. It's totally wild, an fx of the time. Like, a transition sequence that you'd see in an ad in the 90s that lasts for half a second, but extended across the whole frame and just continuously transitioning for ages. Nightmarish!

Watched The Worst Person in the World. It was ok, but I don't get why it got so much praise everywhere.

Saw Everything Everywhere All At Once the other night at an early screening in Denver. A super fun time! Sort of like Matrix by way of Looney Tunes and Scott Pilgrim.
The humor in it is wide-reaching, there's something in it for everyone... gags that I thought were a little dumb had some folks in the theater laughing like crazy, and vice versa. If a dildo-fight isn't your cup of tea, maybe you'll connect with the elegant racoon-based humor later on.

I was sick last week and did a triple feature re-watch of Hard Target, Titane, and Robocop, all solid gold for different reasons.

Titane is incredible. Just a jaw-dropper of a film.

Titane is incredible. Just a jaw-dropper of a film. yeah that's gonna be a top-tenner for me, just an astonishing work of art. i liked it even more the second time, although the theater experience was pretty special. |

I watched That Man from Rio last night. A Tintin-inspired yarn that hits all the lighthearted adventurous notes that excite the child in me (and, apparently, in Speilberg and Lucas).
So wild that we don't get any fun movies like this one anymore
