Christmas In July isn't quite the movie The Lady Eve is. its direction and performances aren't on par with Eve, which bummed me out, because i really really wanted to love Christmas In July based on what i've read about it.

a question that just occurred to me -- is there a contemporary analog to preston sturges? the coen's idiot tetralogy immediately comes to mind. going to have to think about other possibilities

i loved Oldboy…I haven’t seen the others in the Vengeance trilogy so I’m going to just watch them in order

don’t hate me but the other day I watched the first 15 minutes or so of Akira and it’s just not my brand

Oldboy is really something else. Well worth seeing.

My favorite Korean movies are Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring and Memories Of Murder.

Gave Barton Fink another viewing last night, first time for Raz. She was pretty baffled and I had a hard time explaining it to her. Could someone clear this movie up for me? What's with the fire?

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Yeah I fell asleep so I'm finishing it today. It's great fun and the camera work is so ahead of its time.
