I have Pale Flower.... just haven't watched it yet.

Watch it while you're killing time waiting for the Braves to kill the Dodgers.

Just found out that Dr. Strangelove is on amazon prime, so you know what I'm doing.

Keeping pure your precious bodily fluids? Or just getting real turgid, son?

Seven Samurai
Kuroneko
Branded to Kill
High and Low
Harakiri
Kagemusha

Of course this is a friendly call.

I have like no money damnit.

I was saving up for Barnes and Noble 50% sale in November. It's actually 50% off, then 10% off with my membership!!!

Did you buy anything?

Did you buy anything?

3 Films by Roberto Rossellini Starring Ingrid Bergman, plus Satyajit Ray's Charulata and The Big City, along with Masahiro Shinoda's Double Suicide (Shinoda being the director of Pale Flower).

Did you buy anything?

... And I couldn't resist one more small order: Benjamin Christensen's "documentary" on witchcraft, Häxan (1922), and Eclipse Series 1: Early Bergman, which includes Bergman's first produced screenplay (directed by Alf Sjöberg) along with his first four directorial efforts.

I'm going to watch Don Jon.

Looks too good to pass up plus it's a free ticket and I love me some Scar Jo.

"Gravity" looks pretty good.

Most recent movie I watched was The Place Beyond the Pines. It was really good.

[The Chosen One]

Since it is that time of year, I've been watching a ton of AMC Fear Fest and horror movies.

However, I've been holding off on watching The Great Dictator for a while (criterion).

I may just decide to watch it, I've been only holding off on it because of run-time but this I can make an exception for.

[The Chosen One]

Since I'm on the topic of that movie (Dictator), Glen Beck has referenced that Charlie Chaplin speech from the movie (youtube it with inception music). Now conservatives who've never seen it before are in love with the speech, but they all say "except for the part where he talks about open borders, progress through science".

Regarding seasonally-appropriate films: this past weekend, I watched Häxan (which was tremendous) and rewatched Throne of Blood (whose witch – not to mention Lady Macbeth (Asaji) – is the spookiest in any adaptation of Macbeth I've seen).

Was it any good? I can't quite tell if it's a chick flick or not.

[The Chosen One]

Was not a chick flick. Had good humor in it.

Gravity kicked ass in IMAX 3D.

Captain Phillips was also very good.

There's some major debate as to whether or not how accurate Capt Phillips is. It's Tom Hanks so I'll watch it, but I may wait for the home media release.

As for Gravity in IMAX 3D, it was the first time my parents watched an IMAX 3D movie and they were overwhelmed with enjoyment. I was too, as this is the first movie that actually used the 3D to what it's capable of. My parents and I were dodging the debris flying at us left and right hahaha.

I wouldn't wait. It was an excellent movie.

Outside of Avatar, Gravity was the best 3D I've watched.

I'm skeptical that many conservatives have gone out of their way to make that exception
