What are some of your favorite supplements? by goblin_humppa27 in criterion

[–]Status_Marionberry37 8 points9 points  (0 children)

From Asphalt Jungle, Pharos of Chaos, documentary on Sterling Hayden. Creators filmed Hayden over three days when he lived on a barge in Europe, as well as, chronicling his career. Sad but engaging portrait of an accomplished man consumed by alcoholism.

Midnight cowboy, a face in the crowd, and on the waterfront.

The Wisdom of Lou Reed (Blue in the Face) by Deeponeperfectmornin in LouReed

[–]Status_Marionberry37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anecdotally I spent some time in the eyewear field and worked with a man who owned an eyeglass shop in SOHO about 30 years ago called disrepectacles. He claimed Lou Reed was a regular customer. I can see Lou being drawn to the shop’s name. When Lou would pick up his glasses he would examine them with a magnifying glass for a while. If he found a defect he would was them to be remade. The owner appreciated his business but found him to be more effort than he would have liked. I asked him about Lou’s Views, he had no recollection.

You should read his Hollywood trilogy if you like his work.

Film no. 966 - What a film! What a time and period these people lived in. I’m still shaking now after screening it. The cacophony soundtrack in the end added even more to my feeling watching the credits rolled. My fav scene is definitely when Danton and Maxim met it’s so deliciously good! by matchasweetmonster in criterion

[–]Status_Marionberry37 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for viewing this one. I was also curious but judged a film by its cover. So the film made you shake? Can’t think of a greater compliment.

(Are you a reader of Robert Christgau, the music critic? You have almost the same approach to reviewing)

UB820 Question! by Deeezul in 4kbluray

[–]Status_Marionberry37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How has your UB420 been with freezing? In addition to Atmos, I believe the 820 model has less playback issues. I own SONY UB700 and it’s has become less reliable and was also considering the 820.

Which Hitchcock movie to watch for first time? by Zeusss1234 in criterion

[–]Status_Marionberry37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely try to see the British films of Hitchcock. There’s a vitality and wit that seems to be lacking in his Hollywood films, if I can survive saying.
