  1. My male cat now spends all day lying in wait beneath the birdbath to kill finches, which he then brings inside to present to me. Lovely.
  2. @NoelMu Oops, sorry. Can it be salvaged at all? I had no idea.
  3. Can't remember now who asked if I planned to write something on PUBLIC ENEMIES, but I did and here it is: http://is.gd/1p57K
  4. @NoelMu I stopped watching CNN after three straight days of "Michael Jackson is still dead." Every time I go back it's "Micha--"CLICK.
  5. @Filmbrain Says the dude catering to Diablo Cody's whims as we tweet.
  6. @Filmbrain My rule is if the film has an English-language title (and hasn't been released here under its original title), use it.
  7. @Filmbrain & as I said to Kenny, that's fine so long as you also refer to Kaurismäki's KAUAS PILVET KARKAAVAT & Suzuki's KOROSHI NO RAKUIN.
  8. @cmasonwells Sounds like somebody didn't read my testy comment on Glenn Kenny's blog about the pretentiousness of using the French title.
  9. @AlejandroAdams That must sting like a bitch.
  10. @msicism Now imagine seeing this film cold and you can understand why my immediate reaction was "Holy shit that was AMAZINGLY good."
  11. @vrizov The last four read like a really scary personal ad.
  12. Also, I didn't realize/remember that Pascal Greggory was the hunk in this. Disconcerting to see him playing such a weakling, tho he's great.
  13. /Pauline at the Beach/ ('83 Rohmer): 82. So unemphatic it threatens to drift out to sea, yet scary-wise in a dozen ways. Sublimely minor.
  14. /Mr. Deeds Goes to Town/ ('36 Capra): 73. This seemed like a good 4 July choice, and it was. What Theo said, every word: http://is.gd/1nL4k
  15. ( just bought it at the newsstand, but I kinda doubt that's an option hereabouts.)
  16. Some of you guys must be Film Comment subscribers, yes? Could somebody please scan/send Kent Jones' piece on EVERYONE ELSE? thanks buds.
  17. (I've seen five Miyazaki films so far and every one of them falls between 63 and 56, i.e. they're varying degrees of B-minus.)
  18. Ponyo ('08 Miyazaki): 58. Certainly cutesier than usual, but it's still trademark Miyazaki: lovely visuals, kinda random narrative.
  19. ..."Da Doo Ron Ron," "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home," "Chapel of Love," "Do Wah Diddy Diddy," etc. And she discovered Neil Diamond.
  20. Obscure song by Ellie Greenwich from Rhino girl groups box pops up. Who dat? Look her up, she wrote "Be My Baby," "Then He Kissed Me"...
