Varies from around 100 to 300.<br /><br />Last film I rented/saw at home: The shape of things. Another Neil Labute film. Same old shitck, disturbing as usual.<br /><br />last film I saw at a theatre: Constantine (movie selection in Japan is terrible)<br /><br />last film I saw and hated: Clean (I love france, but if ever there were a reason to hate it, it would be because of films like this. Insufferable pompousness desperately trying to hide the lack of any substance. This movie had the uncanny ability to bore and annoy simulateously.)<br /><br />film I know I should see: Andrei Rublev. I always intend to see it, but then back out at the last minute because it just seems too damn long and boring.<br /><br />3 film I love:<br /><br />Together: Hands down the best European film that I've seen in a long time.<br /><br />Five Easy Pieces: so sad but so good<br /><br />Ichi the Killer: One of the bloodiest, grossest films I've ever seen (not quite as bad as "trouble every day" though). I'm not sure why, but for some reason I find myself recommending this film all the time.Happy fun ballnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3134668.post-23678060386007906722005-06-25T11:45:31.000-07:002005-06-25T11:45:31.000-07:00number of films i see in a year:

This morning, while in a state of half-awakeness. Shoulda been picking up around the joint, but there I was, on the couch, not wanting to move for about three hours. A three-hour movie is good for that.<br /><br />last film i saw at a theater: <br /><br />"Layer Cake." Darker than the other material from the same house ("Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels," "Snatch"), but still rather satisfying.<br /><br />last film i saw and hated: <br /><br />"What The [bleep] Do We Know?" The pyhsics of metaphysics, taught by mystics. For two *fucking* hours. Portland must have shuddered when it discovered it was the backdrop this this thing--as much as San Francisco must have when it learned that it was the city built on rock n'roll. Hell, even Tom Cruise's psychiatry-hating ass would have loathed this crap. (Meanwhile: I am still with the populace on this one. Run, Katie. Run.)<br /><br />film i know i should see: <br /><br />"Duck Soup." Saw only a snip of it a couple of weeks ago on cable. Good stuff. I want more.<br /><br />3 films i love:<br /><br />"Network." I mean: "Hi. I'm Diana Christensen, a racist lackey of the imperialist ruling circles." "I'm Laureen Hobbs, a badass commie nigger." The Max & Diana love scene is pure joy. And the parallels between this and the Fox television empire (minus Howard Beale) are stunning.<br /><br />"Dr. Strangelove." Lauren--you *haven't* seen this? Geez. Rent it tonight.<br /><br />"Bull Durham" and "The Natural" (tie). One being impossibly fun, the other quite powerful (if overwrought) and beautifully shot. There are a lot of decent films about baseball (mostly comedies, sure), but these are the two best.bassett h.q.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3134668.post-55848635752981294062005-06-27T09:56:08.000-07:002005-06-27T09:56:08.000-07:00i promise i'mot ignoring you! our houseguests ...i promise i'mot ignoring you! our houseguests have been staying in the spare room where we keep the computer & my weekend's been pretty full. i'll get to this soon :)saranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3134668.post-35818066583154602042005-07-06T14:17:25.000-07:002005-07-06T14:17:25.000-07:00finally! just what you've been waiting for! my...finally! just what you've been waiting for! <a href="http://www.furiousmuse.com/2005/07/movie-meme.html" rel="nofollow">my response</a>!saranoreply@blogger.com
