Got it. Sorry to hear that but I understand space ends up being the final decision maker sometimes.

I’m curious, how do you decide what to keep and what to sell? (Asking as someone who was immediately sad to see you were selling SOUTHERN COMFORT, but I have to assume you have doubles or something)

Underworld Chronicles Boxset with FUDOH: THE NEW GENERATION, AGITATOR and DEADLY OUTLAW REKKA DEAD MOUNTAINEER’S HOTEL The Delgados shirt (early 2000s)

Good mail day. Got a Miike boxset from Radiance (I love that we’re finally getting a lot of his older work on Blu/UHD), DEAD MOUNTAINEER’S HOTEL from Deaf Crocodile and The Delgados shirt from early 2000s.

I really wish I could fit this. Shirts for The Wrens show up almost never and this is a very early one:

I went from that to The Strokes and then to Interpol. It was a good night to be an elder millennial.

Haneke!

Back of Haneke

Good mail day. Got so much Haneke. Almost all of the Haneke.

No, I don’t think so. It’s not like Fincher or Soderbergh is going to get an AI shot that looks bad and say “yep, that’s good enough” they’re going to revise and fine tune every aspect of it and not have to pay a union crew to wait for them to get it right.

MANK and THE GOOD GERMAN are proto-AI films.

The directors who were quickest to jump to digital will be the ones most eager to explore AI. Think David Fincher won’t be eager to have complete control over every aspect of his mise-en-scène and be able to tinker with it well beyond typical production?

This isn’t surprising. Soderbergh seems to hate being on set actually shooting the film and loves editing. This way he’ll be able to quickly create shots and tinker with them and have an extended post production and a greatly shorter actual production.

Wes Anderson Archive BIRTH THE DEAD THE MAN WHO WASNT THERE Lubitsch Musicals

Good mail day. Got my flash order from Criterion. Forgot to order EYES WIDE SHUT.

His autobiography is great because you can imagine him saying every line and it only enhances the experience.

…And on sale. Thanks for the tip, don’t mind if I do.

LEE CRONIN'S THE MUMMY definitely made me reflect on just who the fuck is Lee Cronin?

The speed at which I hit play on CLIFFORD last night when I was scrolling on Mubi was blistering.

Hard Motherfucking Boiled UHD from Arrow

Good mail day. Action masterpiece HARD-BOILED and I actually managed to not freak out about the shout factory one coming first and “selling out.”

Forgotten Gialli V9 THE GHOST GALLEON FEAR HAS 1000 EYES VINYL LOVE LETTERS IF A PORTUGUESE NUN

Good mail day. Vinegar Syndrome goodies.

Only seen VINYL of these, but I’ve seen that one plenty.

I saw a commercial last night for protein pop tarts.

Hootenanny cd x2

Holding out for that CD long box renaissance with two sealed Hootenanny’s

Seam - Sukiyaki 7” QUEEN OF BLACK MAGIC / MYSTICS IN BALI Elastica shirt

Good mail day. Working through all of the Seam discography as they pop up for sale and found a deal on a vintage Elastica shirt that I couldn’t pass up. Movies are QUEEN OF BLACK MAGIC and MYSTICS IN BALI from Mondo Macabro.

I don’t remember it being as much of a thing with season 1 of THE PITT, but it is a minor annoyance for me as well with the second season.

Seat map for Paul McCartney tickets

Good news, I got selected to be able to buy Paul McCartney tickets at the Fonda.

Bad news, tickets are VIP and $1661 each.

(Not going)

I guess I should have picked up that sealed dvd of THE MATRIX that I found a few weeks back at the thrift store…

Bava, Leone, Visconti, Argento & Fulci.

Watched and really liked SCANDAL STREET last night but then I read the IMDb trivia that Howard Hawks was originally supposed to direct and he wanted Humphrey Bogart and Cary Grant for the Crawford and Derek roles and I want to see that movie.

It gets better. Start is rough.

REMIND ME TOMORROW is her best by a lot imo.

Your wordbot is kind of a dick.

I think it’s a good performance but I didn’t think he did enough to differentiate the twins. When you watch Irons in DEAD RINGERS, you always know exactly which twin you are watching and he does it mostly with posture.
