Since today is a shitty Holocaust anniversary:

The whole short film is on YouTube:
Highly recommended, even if it is a tough watch. The ending in particular is an absolute gut-punch that is guaranteed to lodge itself in your memory.

Watched this a couple nights ago. Lovely and weird.

Damn near impossible to explain.
Benign alien masters have taken over Earth.
They’re fascinated by love - they reproduce asexually.
Our heroes “sell” their love story.
And then it gets weird.

I’ll watch later, but I can guess what could occur with Poles and Jews at that time living in the same village.

Watched Streets Of Fire: A Rock & Roll Fable at long last.
I liked it but I wish the main character wasn’t played by a cardboard cutout. I think it’s true what they say it’s the most influential film nobody saw.
Why was Willem Dafoe wearing waders?

Yet another film that I’ll watch… but will have my raging, time-travel, guts urging me to pick up an uzi.

Absolutely fantastic soundtrack. Especially the two songs by Jim Steinman bookending the movie

The 59-year-old star recently read A Kestrel for a Knave, the book that inspired the 1969 film, for BBC Four.
He said Loach’s film of a boy who bonds with a kestrel had been the “most important cultural event” of his life.
The Salford-born actor added that it was the “greatest British film ever”.
The film, which was released a year after Barry Hines’s novel, won several awards when it was first released and was later ranked seventh in the British Film Institute’s list of the 100 greatest British films of the 20th Century.

He’s so great… I really wish he’d gotten a second season (though I understand why he left)…
He was great as the second coming of Jesus, too…

The other day I watched the spiritual successor to the brilliant Black Dynamite.
It might take me another watch or two to appreciate Outlaw Johnny Black as much, but it was still a good time.

I get very upset that I have to subscribe to a streaming service to watch just one movie.

With netflix’s DVD service coming to an end this week, I was thinking about alternatives… has anyone heard of this place?
They are out in Seattle, but they ship across the country… story about them:
Just curious if anyone has used their service and what they think of it, if so.
