Yep. There were so many to choose from, it was hard to pick. I hope you like Black Girl; I won't say enjoy since that isn't quite correct...

Berberian Sound Studio (Peter Strickland, 2012)
Wow. Considering everything I've heard about this, that's an astonishingly low rating. Even if I take into consideration your rather stern ratings. I'd love to hear a few of your thoughts on it.

Not much to say. Some good visuals and sound splashed about with no rhyme or reason. Actually worse than that because the "reason" is to drive the viewer just as mad as the lead character, but most filmwatchers, except modern critic-types, would be angry, not "crazy". I was also upset that the "homage" to '70s Italian horror was basically non-existent. There, that should piss off a few people, even UF (sorry).





Wow! I nominate this post for the best wtf moment I've seen in a while. Mark f has actually rated a multiple movies with 8 and 9 stars? What the hell is going on here? Seriously, what the hell? Then I noticed HandyApe had only borrowed his format.



Sorry if I'm rude but I'm right

Sounds like a movie I might enjoy.

The WTF moment should be that Ape only gave it

Bright light. Bright light. Uh oh.
That's about 28 1/2 hours of movies, and I slept about four hours each of the last three days. Eleven were shown on TCM, and I watched six online, so I saw the last set from Thursday/Friday midnight to early Saturday afternoon. Basically did the same thing the day before. That's what happens when you can't do much of anything else.



From one of Mark's previous posts in this thread:
I don't have much else to do each day since my stroke except pester my wife and daughter and watch movies, usually on cable. I've been averaging about 10-12 a day. TCM shows lots of movies of 80 minutes and less, and I sleep about four hours a day. I know - I'm nuts.
Unless of course you're suggesting that he read instead. But who the hell would want to do that when you can watch movies?



I think it's awesome to find so much time for movies.
