Xmas with the Crunks

for X-mas, Holly got me:

  • Run Lola Run
    • a wonderful, stylish German film about parallel time and choices
  • Harold and Maude
    • the greatest love story ever told on film; very offbeat and with masterful editing/pacing
  • Do The Right Thing
    • there is almost no need for any further investigation into morality and the human condition after this film
    • Holly noted that the famous pivotal scene in which Mookie throws the garbage can through Sal’s shop window was an act of salvation; in doing so, he may have saved Sal’s life
    • RADIO RAHEEM LIVES!!!

three of my favorite films of all time!!!

and gorgeous, sweet little teenytiny Speck, the wonderdog! part Chihuahua, part Jack Russell Terrier, and all playtime fun!

we’re going to watch Godzilla: Final Wars in a bit.

it’s a wonderful life.

Among the things that he has done for a laugh are minor fractures, cuts, scrapes, and various scabs. Though she's quick to point out that they're no imbecile, we're fairly certain that he thinks the word means some kind of medieval pharmacist.

This is her latest home on teh internets - where jae stores their swear words, when they're not hurling them at the sun in vain.

Earlier this month, I watched Do the Right Thing and She Hate Me within days of each other and thought to myself, “Oh, how the mighty have fallen…”

i haven’t seen that one yet, though i don’t think i shall, if the reviews on imbd are worth their weight in pixels. it’s sad how such an amazing and visionary director could sometimes put out trite crap once in a while. he’s just inconsistent, that’s all. he’s still got at least another Classic Film in him yet, though, i’ll bet.

Yeah…and, to be honest, it’s the first Spike Lee joint that I’ve been truly disappointed in. I’m sure he’ll rebound eventually.

yeah, i’ve never actually seen one that i didn’t like, but i’ve seen a couple that were approaching forgettable. like Girl 6. which at least had some style and character to it.
