Oh it's been too long
Hi. My last post was September 2019. A lot has happened since then, but I've also been keeping a list of all the films I've watched and books I've read, so decided to finally post that, with minimal comments. See below!

Why hello there
It has been more than three years since I last posted, due to a combination of kids and remodeling our (not so) new (anymore) house, but I have been keeping a list of the films I've watched and books I've read, so I'm going to post it here with only whatever few notes I made to myself at the time ( Read more... ) -
Catch up
Hi.
So it's been another long gap. Given I so rarely have much to say about the movies and books, and as far as I can tell my brother is my only regular-ish reader, I'm just going to post lists of what I've watched and read, for posterity and I guess my own reference. When I feel the need, I'll comment.

green destiny
Sorry for another long gap.
The Unforgiven - This is the 1960 western with Burt Lancaster and Audrey Hepburn (not to be confused with the similarly-named western from 1992). It's based on a novel by Alan Le May, who also wrote The Searchers. The film focuses on racism against Native Americans, and those believed to have Native American blood, ( Read more... ) -
2015 in film
I only saw seven new films in 2015, which is low for me (though not as low as 2013).
In my 2014 list, I listed three films from that year that I wanted to see but hadn't yet gotten to. Well, I've now seen two of them, but still haven't seen Interstellar.
Anyway, here are the seven new films I saw in 2015, in approximate ranked order:- The Martian

Love means never having to say you're sorry
It's been a looong time since my last update, so here's a long one, touching only briefly on each entry.
Marty - 1955 Best Picture winner about a middle aged man finding love after he'd given up on it. Pretty good.
The Private Life of Henry VIII - 1933 biopic with Charles Laughton in the title role. Not great.
Fallen Angels - Wong Kar Wai's film ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
Time for another update!
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 - This was better than I expected, but it had about 3 more endings than it needed. First, he beats Elektro, then he beats Green Goblin (at a terrible price), then a funeral, then Rhino. Too much, especially given that they were likely expecting another sequel. Perhaps at least the last ending could ( Read more... ) -
Music in 2014

- Caribou - Our Love
- FKA Twigs - LP1
