my very close-by local rental store lost its lease and closed a couple of week ago its inventory was insufficiemnt especially in foreign films (not a single Bergman or Fellini!) but I liked the people there esdpweically the guy who always asked me when I entered if I'd parked my broom correctly to the gasps of whoever overheard and didn't know us and since I'm so proud of having a tank of gas last 2-3 months I don;t want to travel the increased distance to yet another store with a limited inventory so today I signed up at NEtflix! WHAAA-HOOOO!!!!!! my queue contains Seventh Seal LA Dolce Vita The Prisoner series The Avengers starting with year '65 Clockwork Orange Lolita 900,000 titles to chose from no late fees I'm in cinemaheaven |

Re-watched The 400 Blows the other morning. Dammit, I love that film. Leaud's peformance: genius, simply put. |

A good friend of mine, who also happens to be an absurdly self-assured film buff, told me that Jules Et Jim is boring as fuck. I suspect, though, that his hatred of the film is more a reflection of his disturbingly deep hatred of the French in general (which is possibly a result of Rugby. I haven't a clue, really). Never heard of the other two, tho'. In summary, I need to watch more Bergman. Much more Bergman. |

yes i adore it too, though it knackers me because its so near - no surprise i think since you love the trilogy, poinstman, and Suz you have to see Father Ted, really. Last night/this morning we watched the Lent ep, in which Father Dougal gives up rollerblading and in the course of withdrawal, sees Ted as a big boot,

Suz, about Netflix, have you seen Vera Drake?it's Mike Leigh's best, i think.It's not perfect, by which i mean that i think by now that his cast/repertory are so knowing of what he wants that the dialogue in particular is sometimes/often stylized, but it is fantastic, treasurable filmmaking and Imelda Staunton is completely astonishing |

I'd get it for you. kl0pper if I was well minted but alas it made me wince just to get it for myself (netflix has an indefinite save on Twin Peaks 1st season) and I got impatient. . . . I remember being most enthusiastic about it when it first aired . . . |

Twin Peaks is simply the best tv show ever produced. I watched the whole thing on vhs two summers back. |
