Haven't seen it. I, too, didn't want to be disappointed, but I'll check it out.

I watched Days of Heaven last night. Pretty good. Remarkably well shot and acted. Not much to really hang your hat on story-wise, but it made me think a little.

I re watched Days of Heaven on Netflix a few months ago. Unreal cinematography. Bret Easton Ellis recently said it was the move that first inspired him to create art.

Just got back from Smaug

The Worm is an amazing feat of CGI

Watching the horror movie VHS

fuck the first movie on the tape just mind fucked me

The sequel is now on netflix. It's better than the first--supposedly the directors took note of the negative reviews of that one and attempted to address the criticisms (steadier cameras, shorter length [4 shorts instead of 5], less incoherent yelling dialog). The second and third tapes are more disturbing than any from its predecessor. Pretty good effort, but then again I'm a sucker for shitty horror movies.

You should check out Upstream Color. Shane Carruth is very intriguing auteur.

Need to check out Upstream Color.

Just watched A Woman is a Woman (Jean-Luc Godard).

I probably only caught a few of the inside jokes, though the self-references were pretty funny, and I only caught one or two of the language jokes, bc the subtitles couldn't really capture them. But it's a clever film. Thought the sound mixing was clever. Not my favorite work of Godard's, though. Pretty tidy and simple. Belmondo is a boss tho.
