SALO, OR THE 120 DAYS OF SODOM- [3.7] Perhaps it’s a bad sign that I wasn’t extremely shocked at the events in this film, which is purported to be one of the most disgusting, sadistic movies ever made. But, come on. I watch porn. Nothing special here. Ha. Well, basically a group of male fascist leaders abduct 8 young girls and 8 young boys to ( Read more... )

I mostly agreed with your comments on "Me and You and Everyone..."

I cannot find Happiness anywhere. It is irritating.

Have you seen Palindromes yet?

i am so glad you've seen it/liked it!

THE PIG PART FREAKED ME OUT.
HE TOTALLY KILLED A REAL PIG.
and it was awesome.

the part where they wreck the car and the girl is screaming 'OH GOD! MY HERMES HANDBAG!' is my new all time favourite godard scene.

i hope everything is well, and that your boy is coming back soon, so you two can sip coco and wait for snow.

xo!

CHAPPAQUA- [3.6] Odd, surrealistic drug film from 1966, made by Conrad Rooks based on his own experiences of addiction and the French clinic he checked himself into to get better. What is so remarkable about this proto-beatnik film is the cast, which includes William S. Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg, Ravi Shankar, and Jean-Louis Barrault (who was incredible as Baptiste the mime in the classic CHILDREN OF PARADISE).
