    I always list Rebecca in my top 3 Hitchcock films, but it's been years since I've last seen it. I was thinking about getting the Criterion myself (That cover art is dope!).
    Lady Bird is a very funny and very sweet coming-of-age film. I definitely enjoyed Three Billboards more than you, but it's not one I'd really go to bat for. Last Flag Flying is very Linklater and cool overall, but I found the ending to be lacking.

    Overall, I feel like I've seen a lot of good films this year, but very few great ones (Movies have also just suffered for me in the wake of the sublime season 3 of Twin Peaks).

    Caught a part of The Place Beyond the Pines and realized the spaghetti dinner scene in the second act is a direct reference to A Woman Under the Influence. Googled it, and sure enough, Cianfrance is a huge Cassavetes fan. Talks about it in several interviews. Pretty neat.

    ^noo

    meh might've been too hot, tbh. i was sitting in the very front row... and thought sam rockwell was a bit too broad the first half of the film. like, i found the ending mostly satisfying but i was annoyed how the actors were playing to "types" (rockwell=green mile, woody harrelson=laid back east texan, frances mcdormand=olive kittredge. etc. isnt this supposed to be bumfuck missouri, etc.). was moved by how profane the dialogue was though sometimes of the crackling banter, and plot beats, felt too stagey...... which makes sense for obvious reasons.

    also distracted me how supermodel beautiful some of the casting was. she'd get with john hawkes? dunno. so enjoyed it long story short but felt like it was kind of shaggy?

    interesting, v excited for it. love last detail.

    DVD's? I wouldn't even bother these days tbh. Ridiculous price but would never watch 'em.

    I just saw this today. Perhaps more than any other Hong Sang-soo movie, it left me completely bewildered walking out of the theater, though it's one I'm certainly willing to wrestle with further. There are various strands and elements at play here all at once, but for the most part, the film is simply willing to linger with Kim Min-hee's melancholic, raw-nerve performance.

    Nope, it's one of the premium Blu sets. Been wanting those PTA films for a long time so I'm pretty stoked about it.
