I didn't know that was a remake. And, I didn't like it, either, but I'm intrigued to learn that Ophuls got there first. I'll have to check that out.<br /><br />Tony - Yes, LOLA MONTES is on my radar, since the Criterion announcement, especially since an earlier DVD got bounced from Netflix not so long ago. I think that I might hit LA RONDE next, though. I don't know why. Because I liked the Criterion packaging, is probably the reason.bill r.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17748572205731857892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2856547151523423474.post-88312621686699991952010-01-02T07:16:54.969-05:002010-01-02T07:16:54.969-05:00Haven't seen it myself, but one Ophuls that co...Haven't seen it myself, but one Ophuls that comes highly recommended is <i>Lola Montès</i>. TCM is showing it on January 45th, at 2:45am. And Criterion is releasing it in February.<br /><br />No less than Andrew Sarris has called it "the greatest film of all time," so it's got me intrigued.Tony Dayoubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04632329277519635858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2856547151523423474.post-29532172584410920572009-12-31T20:47:23.970-05:002009-12-31T20:47:23.970-05:00I don't even have a DVR. I also don't have...I don't even have a DVR. I also don't have cable, so that makes some sense. I'd gladly pay 10 bucks a month just for TCM but I have to wait until they figure out how to make that business model work. Until then I'm not paying 50 bucks a month for TCM and 78 channels I could give a crap about. <br /><br />Ophuls- LETTER FROM AN UNKNOWN WOMAN and RECKLESS MOMENT are both worth one's time. Neither is EARRINGS OF MADAME DE... but so few things are. RECKLESS MOMENT got remade a little while back as THE DEEP END. I pretty much hated it in that incarnation but rather enjoy the original. It was also the first film I saw that presented James Mason as a relatively young badass, rather than a middle age Brit on the scene to provide an accent and some class.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2856547151523423474.post-54563242878426752202009-12-31T11:57:40.073-05:002009-12-31T11:57:40.073-05:00Five years???

I have to think that when the memes were flying fast and furious on the actual blogs, that a lot of those bloggers were already on Facebook. Our presence there couldn't have changed things that much.<br /><br />Also, I've been tagged on FB maybe three times. Thanks for making me feel like such a loser.<br /><br />Kevin - It's madness, isn't it? It's the same mindset that keeps us (or maybe just me) from watching movies I buy -- I have the movie, so I can watch it whenever, right? But you have a finite amount of room on DVR, and most of mine is taken up with movies that have been on there for a couple of years. I've had Malle's BLACK MOON on there for-frickin'-ever.bill r.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17748572205731857892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2856547151523423474.post-57390965672275897532009-12-31T00:48:15.531-05:002009-12-31T00:48:15.531-05:00Oh man can I relate to the DVR thing.

Anything in HD that sounds interesting I record, because really what's the worst that can happen? If I don't like it or don't feel like watching it anymore I can just delete it...only I never freaking delete things off my DVR. I still have episodes of "Deadwood" and "John From Cincinnati" on there.Kevin J.

First I'll buy some beads
And...My resolutions?<br /><br />First I'll buy some beads<br />And then perhaps a leather band<br />To go around my head<br />Some feathers and bells<br />And a book of Indian lore<br />I will ask the Chamber Of Commerce<br />How to get to Height Street<br />And smoke an awful lot of dope <br /><br /><br />Also, the memes: Facebook killed 'em. Now they're on FB in the notes. I've been tagged about forty times more since joining FB than I ever was on Blogspot. Think how many more memes you've probably responded to on FB already - 15 films that stick with you, Last 15 films you watched, 15 Actors you can't live without, etc. My only question is why are all FB memes centered around the number 15? I can see 10 of course, or 20 or 25, but 15? Who the fuck came up with that?Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05730146625671701859noreply@blogger.com
