Yes. He initiates textual conversations more often than I do. In fact he did this morning, and he just accepted a job in the city where I dwell.

rewatched Point Blank. still so good.

if any of you have criterion, you should really watch Little Murders before it's removed at the end of the month. one of my favorites comedies of all time.

I signed up for Criterion Channel back in February and it changed my year. I've gotten back into the habit of watching a movie every day. I had been on a TV kick for the previous three years or so, and I think I've now watched more movies this year than any year before.

Point Blank is one of my faves, for sure. I've said it before and I'll say it again: greatest dick punch in the history of cinema. Lee Marvin at his best.

I've been looking at the Robert Mitchum movies that they put together this month. I re-visited Night of the Hunter for the first time in probably a decade and holy cow is that movie amazing. Very bold, very strange, very sexual, way better than I remembered even. Crossfire was good, Robert Mitchum and Robert Ryan, can't go wrong. Mitchum's not-at-all-concerned vibe when he first talks to the cops sticks out in my head. Last night I watched one of the film noirs, which was a pretty typical fifties movie with a hell of an ending. The balls on the endings of some of these noir movies is tremendous. Like, a big shocking ending and then the title card. Great.

I've also been watching some Aki Kaurismaki stuff on there, which I've never seen. Good stuff, very Jarmusch. The Helsinki segment of Night on Earth fits right into that groove, I can see that Jarmusch was giving his respects to Kaurismaki there.

Another thing that is worth looking at that they recently added is The Mystery of Picasso, directed by Clouzot. We watch Picasso making art in real time. I saw part of it fifteen years ago and this is the first time I've been able to find a high quality version so I could see the whole thing.

I'll be sure to take a look at Little Murders.

I only did it out of respect for Malloy. The rest of you bums don't deserve the effort of that extra keystroke

Nevertheless, you've shown yourself to be a real peach this morning.

Dumbass me found out the showing is PM as opposed to AM. Today is the last showing so I’m just going to have to reevaluate this evening as I’m not sure I’ll be able to stay awake.

Man, I haven't seen that in ages. But I used to LOVE it back in the day. Glad to hear it still holds up.

I last watched it with my cousin in 2017. So it was very fresh in my memory, almost too much, but still really enjoyed it.

Haven’t seen this in ages, possibly since it was fairly new. Cast is a lot stronger than I remembered.
