Before Sunrise isn't from this past decade. But you should watch it, then watch Before Sunset, which is from this past decade. Both wonderful.

Right, I made that comment in my notes.  It's a cheat :)  I'm hoping you're right !

Yes!  I have two business trips coming up and I should be able to watch two films a night each week, thus the ambition.  BTW: Welcome back!  :)

  • Hi there! Feed me worlds!
I haven't read your last few reviews except for your overall like of them because I still need to see them myself.   But I will and then I will return and enjoy your reviews!

Another excellent list!  But I can't wait for you and 'Noke to do Miyazaki!

You were able to get a hold of Los Angeles Plays Itself, ferris?

Ooo, yay - great line-ups! Especially looking forward to hearing what you think of Capturing the Friedmans and Grizzly Man.

Funny you brought that up.  The fact very little came up in a simple google search had me wondering it this might be a little difficult to get a hold of!  Hook me up filmspotting nation!

Sweeeeet! This promises to be completely awesome. I'm really excited for the whole top row of round 3. In the bottom row I've only seen one and hated it, but we'll see. :)

That round 5 sounds awesome, would be great if that ended up happening, but it's not like this isn't ambitious enough already. ;)

But I can't wait for you and 'Noke to do Miyazaki!

Oh yeah, seconded for sure!
