  1. A lot of movie packed into 42 minutes; make sure to watch all the way through past the credits.

    I can't describe it well. Buñuelesque at times, it's a celebration, exploration, and extension of the art of cinema, an indictment of people and our times, and I'm not sure what all else was being conveyed.

    Very good and extremely worthwhile if you love abstract, impressionistic expressions of the art form.

    It replays at 10pm Eastern tonight.

  3. I've always meant to see Preminger's "Bonjour Tristesse" since hearing Tuxedomoon's song of the same name. What an odd movie! Niven and Seberg are great as a spoiled vapid nouveau riche family. And, it includes a paraphrase of Baudelaires' "Be Always Drunken" prose poem in the script, recited by an appropriately drunk character. Nice use of color and black and white for contrast and dramatic effect, (the B&W sections are particularly beautiful).

  5. I'm watching James Baldwin On-Screen on The #CriterionChannel

    I just finished watching #Baldwin's #Nigger, #1968 (the meaning is profound) and James is brilliant.

    I love Dick Gregory's explanation of "white liberal", which every #white person, and #Black "#moderate" and #conservative, should consider and internalize.
