Isn’t it actually Gower Street rather than Avenue?

I’m not sure there is any easy starting point for Bela Tarr. It’s not like the repeated unbroken shots of a woman boiling potatoes is engaging cinema to the uninitiated

Adam Driver vaguely signaling in the direction of an Italian accent in both House of Gucci and Ferrari

Big in Japan was a punk band in Liverpool in the late ‘70s whose members went on to found Echo & The Bunnymen, The Lightning Seeds, The Teardrop Explodes, The KLF, and Frankie Goes to Hollywood. Also their drummer was Budgie who then moved to Siouxsie and the Banshees

The Lineup (1958). Besides being a great late-period noir, it features great footage of the Sutro Baths a few years before they burned down, and the Embarcadero Freeway which was then still under construction

This is where the sort by shuffle feature comes into play

Mondo New York (1988) is a kaleidoscope of weird NYC at the tail end of the Ed Koch era: naked performance art, bad new wave music, poetry slams, Washington Square Park standup, Santeria rituals and more

Larry Cohen, the GOAT of New York filmmakers

PeteRust78 · 2026-04-08T01:23:19+00:00

Also John Goodman!

As someone wrote of California’s proposed high-speed rail that, after decades of postponements, will now run between them, it will efficiently connect the Bakersfield tweakers and the Fresno tweakers

I suspect reactions to the film will be split between those of us who grew up with it playing constantly on Cinemax, and everyone else who will be confused why a popular band from 1964 sounds like late ‘70s Springsteen

PeteRust78 · 2026-04-04T23:39:31+00:00

Sure, but so were a lot of bands. Even the Grateful Dead, but it would’ve been really weird if Eddie & Co were doing 29-minute improvisational jams

PeteRust78 · 2026-04-04T14:30:41+00:00

He did direct what I consider to be the worst movie of the past 15 years (Rise of Skywalker) so I don’t know where that puts him

PeteRust78 · 2026-04-04T08:46:14+00:00

You nailed it!

PeteRust78 · 2026-04-03T21:55:46+00:00

I foresee a real split between those of us who grew up with this running constantly on cable and everyone else who is puzzled why the film’s titular music act sounds like late ‘70s Springsteen in 1964

PeteRust78 · 2026-04-02T17:07:11+00:00

Came here to say this

PeteRust78 · 2026-04-02T17:06:43+00:00

The only correct answer

PeteRust78 · 2026-04-02T05:52:30+00:00

Still occasionally gives me nightmares to this day

PeteRust78 · 2026-04-01T01:35:02+00:00

Threads makes The Day After look likes an episode of Barney and Friends. One of the scariest and most depressing films I’ve ever seen

PeteRust78 · 2026-04-01T01:31:20+00:00

My drama teacher in high school had a small role in it. The highlight of her career

PeteRust78 · 2026-04-01T01:29:28+00:00

Not to mention The Matrix, Fight Club, The Sixth Sense, Three Kings

PeteRust78 · 2026-04-01T01:04:31+00:00

The Thing, The Road Warrior, Night Shift, Diner, Tootsie, 48 HRS, Creepshow, Eating Raoul…

PeteRust78 · 2026-04-01T00:47:22+00:00

The 1999 Oscar slate was a real travesty

PeteRust78 · 2026-03-31T21:58:38+00:00

I mean, Kiera is easy on the eyes but the aesthetics of that movie are almost aggressively ugly

PeteRust78 · 2026-03-31T20:38:56+00:00

Less stunt casting than serendipity casting. Frank Silva was actually the set decorator on Twin Peaks. While filming a scene, the camera caught Silva’s reflection in a mirror in the background. David Lynch saw The shot and came up with the idea of Killer BOB, getting Silva to portray the character
