I’m about to watch Boogie Nights with my girlfriend, which she’s never seen. It’s funny; all the movies she’s shown me are kids movies she grew up with like Labyrinth and pretty much the entire Hayao Miyazaki catalog, really adorable stuff that makes people smile. And then all I want to do is show her my brooding, heavy, or just plain inappropriate films like Boogie Nights...

So Odd Future are coming down here on Halloween night. I can’t think of a better way to spend the holiday than with Tyler and the crew. I hope I can go. I don’t imagine tickets would be too expensive, just that they’ll sell out quick. In any case, they aren’t on sale yet, but yeah. I’m excited.

And then we come to Jean-Luc Godard’s French New Wave musical romp Une femme est une femme, which I had seen little snippets of but never the whole thing. And I must say.. I kind of hated it. Godard is really starting to bore me as a director, as much as I enjoyed Breathless.. There is really little to no substance in his movies, its all flash and “coolness.” The whole film is filled with...

Films seen last night: Episode I & II of the Decalogue, The Cove, and Une femme est une femme. The Decalogue thus far is fantastic, especially the first episode. It’s been absolutely riveting so far, and I plan on watching the third today. The Cove has to be the best documentary I’ve seen since Exit Through the Gift Shop. I really feel dumb for not having watched it sooner, but I...

Movies seen last night: Bunuel’s The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie and Joseph Losey’s terrifically acted The Servant, starring Dirk Bogarde, with a brilliant and tightly written subtle role reversing screenplay by the playwright Harold Pinter. Both are fantastic fantastic movies.

Oh my god, you guys.. The Sorrow and the Pity is on Instant. Yeah, the one Alvy Singer takes Annie to see after he’s a few minutes late to that other movie. And it’s directed by Marcel Ophuls! WHO, by the way, is the son of Max Ophuls, who largely influenced Paul Thomas Anderson and whose work I’ve been dying to get into. Definitely watching that soon as I get back from watching...

Dude, I just need to immerse myself in the worlds of Luis Bunuel, Francois Truffaut, Ingmar Bergman, Krzysztof Kieslowski, and Akira Kurosawa for the next few weeks and I’ll be okay.

So Slacker was pretty cool, but after it was done...
Wow.. Simply, wow. Luis Bunuel is a genius. That film has managed to burrow into my skull and will no doubt stay with me for days, if not weeks. It messed with my mind in a way that Christopher Nolan and M. Night Shyamalan could only dream of, and Bunuel did it not with any mental disorders or supernatural twists, but with the politics of sex and interaction between two people. It is a...

I hate being broke and knowing that Barnes and Noble has been selling Criterion DVD’s and Blu-Ray’s for 50% off their original price. I need a job, but no one really hires at 15. The month of October could not arrive any sooner, could it?
