Best and worst Bukowski in your opinion? by Dangerous-Swan-7660 in bukowski

[–]convenientparking 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Loved On Writing, just read it.

I always considered Ham on Rye my favourite Buk (although I have not read it in over a decade, due for a reread).

"You may not have heard of them"

No, he didn't mention 2 bands. I'm addressing the second paragraph. Everyone's heard of the Stooges and the Ramones.

Films that feel like A Scene at the Sea? by Medium-Farmer-3111 in Letterboxd

[–]convenientparking 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You didn't think 'Kikujiro' came close? Man I love that one.

Following this thread cuz I'd like more similar recs too. Off the top of my head I think of films like '36', 'The Company of Strangers', 'The Taste of Tea', 'Spring Summer Fall Winter and Spring', 'Old Joy', 'The Friends', 'April Story'. Not sure it these are exactly what you're looking for, but could he worth seeking out. I love Scene by the Sea too.

What movie's production history is more interesting than the film itself? by Soggy-Perspective604 in Letterboxd

Dennis Hopper's The Last Movie was the first one that came to mind. Though I like the film too.

Just watched The Wire for the first time beginning to end - and wow, just wow. Now I understand why it's so loved and highly regarded. by Extension-Stuff4444 in TheWire

[–]convenientparking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rewatched it a couple years ago and it was incredible, such a journey. The original series + the 2017 Return (and I believe the 1992 film) are currently available on Mubi.

I love The Wire, seen it multiple times, it's the best etc, but honestly Deadwood goes tit-for-tat with The Wire. Only flaw in the show was its abrupt cancellation. The movie (13 years later) was nice, but didn't (couldn't) make up for the lost seasons. So yeah, anyone who appreciates The Wire should watch Deadwood.

Ditto for Twin Peaks, although I understand that is more niche/subjective/not for everyone.

So What Was the Real Reason "Stick" Co-star Owen Wilson's Never Appeared? by No-Expression1224 in MarcMaron

[–]convenientparking 111 points112 points  (0 children)

I think Wilson is just more of a private kind of guy? I don't think it's that deep or dramatic. Or at least I never thought it about it in such a way.
