The Truth (Henri-Georges Clouzot, 1960)
The film mostly floats by on being casually entertaining and likeable (both the courtroom and the events being told) and I particularly enjoy that even though so much of the film is a story being told directly to the viewer there's a surprising amount of breathing room in the narrative, though perhaps that shouldn't be such a surprise given that was always been the biggest boon of 60's French films for me. On top of that its really wonderfully paced, there's a couple real lovely shots here and there and there's not really any dumb plot twists or reveals for me to roll my eyes at which I was worried about given the genre. Though the film is extremely solid throughout there's really only a couple borderline standout moments and its just not quite enough for me to consider it a "great" film.

Didn't 20-30% of the hall finish this in May? You can likely take nominations the next day
I think Raul was hoping for a break before the 26th HoF starts...and that could work fine and give people a chance to catch their breath before the next big event.

A whole month after the 25th ends? Let's ask @SpelingError he said he wanted to host the 26th.

I'm selling my house so I'm going to have to skip joining anything else until the very end of October. If I miss the next one, I'll catch the one after that.

Basically one of the most ridiculous stories ever about a modern caveman who loves to annoy the hell out of his audience and neighbors. The man also likes boobies, wheelbarrows, and screaming as loud as humanly possible. Why are things like this nominated here? Will we ever get a HOF that doesn't have a film that most of us deem as unwatchable? It just seems like a thing nowadays.
Now I will say parts in the first half really had me chuckling but that second half was nearly unwatchable. In fact I had to stop it a few times just to take a breather from all the gibberish. Worst dialogue in film history. A waste of time basically. I wanted a more humorous review but it's not worth doing so. Won't waste time linking a picture either.

That's me, but sadly since I'm selling my house, I just put my wheel barrel for sale on Craigslist last night.

I'll put the 26th HoF up on Labor Day weekend since everybody seems fine with that. That way, some of us will have a bit of a break before the next big HoF starts.
