Look, I'm not judging you - after all, I'm posting here myself, but maybe, just maybe, if you spent less time here and more time watching films, maybe, and I stress, maybe your taste would be of some value. Just a thought, ya know.

edit: Also me and him are getting to Marienbad soon so stay tuned

also @Mr Minio would you like to do polish or Russian cinema next month?

I don't know. I thought about Indian cinema.

hmm my least explored probably. Im up for it

Well, since you originally wanted to do French New Wave for six months, and Minio isn't going to join till January, I was hoping we could extend French New Wave another month. As I've been reading up on it, it was just such an incredibly influential movement that I think it deserves more attention. I'll leave it up to you guys though, if you want to extend or move on.

I don't think I've seen a single Indian art film. I'd be up for that.

Yeah, let's do French New Wave in January, too, and then Indian cinema in February.

Sounds good.

Nice. I have a French New Wave film list in my Trakt account if anybody is interested. I've seen very few of them so will update this thread of any new watches asap:

Right. I want complete quiet. COMPLETE QUIET. Oooohhh, you've gone all quiet. Wonderful. A question regarding the upcoming French New Wave January. Do we include Left Bank filmmakers as well, or are we strictly doing French New Wave?

I watched last year at marienbad

and for sure we include left bank

triple post but minio you changed your avatar!

The maximum avatar size is so small...

want me to fix you up one?

Future topic request: remodernist film movement. I'd like to hear some discussion about it because I'm ironing out my own thoughts on the movement right now.

Watched some shorts a couple of years ago, and posted about them in Movie Tab II, but can't find it now. The shorts are okay, the movement's manifesto is pretty funny, though.
