Yeah but I think more than that, it might have my all-time favourite performances by DeNiro and Streep. Tough call but I'm prepared to say it about DeNiro anyway. Travis Bickle was more iconic but arguably an easier role to play. |

Super Mario Bros, and I'd have no issue at all if they tried to remake this one into something more decent than it ended up being.

trust the fungus!
==== HEY ANTAGON! IF YOU SEE THIS: MUST-WATCH FOR YOU I THINK: FOR NO GOOD REASON (2012) - johnny depp interviews artist/cartoonist ralph steadman about his life and work (esp. his relationship with hunter s. thompson). AMAZING VISUALS. worth checking out on bluray but if not just watch it anyway. these days of superabundance of documentaries i try to watch one about an artist each week-- sometimes i don't get to it but this was really great. i hope you got to see the one about miyazaki & studio ghibli.

travis bickle was a two-note performance. they were intense difficult pitch notes but that was it. michael in deer hunter had waaaaay more range-- was a damn symphony. |

CALVARY (2014) This is the second irish movie i see with brendan gleeson and he's fucking amazing in it. the first was THE GUARD, which was brilliant. apart for that the screenplay was pretty great, not as great as his acting but still. 4/5. 4.5? ps, in spite of what the poster says (if you can see it, i can't right now), this is not a "black comedy". it's not a comedy at all-- of course it has its funny fucking moments, it's a rural parish in ireland somewhat reminiscent of "father ted", and gleeson can be hilarious, but that doesn't make it a fucking "comedy" just like hamlet talking about "country matters" doesn't make hamlet a comedy. that's pure doltardery that ignores the main drive of the film. AUTUMN SONATA (Bergman, 1978). a fucking excellent filmed play. by play i mean-- characters voice their thoughts, etc. but damn what a great playwright bergman was. featuring ingrid bergman and liv ullman-- what a pair. and the color so beautifully shot by sven nykvist. 5/5. |

werner herzog's CAVE OF FORGOTTEN DREAMS (2010)
a documentary about the chauvet cave. i wasn't aware this even existed! in traditional art history it's always altamira. but this... wow! where does this guy get the energy and inspiration to make great films like that? even if the production is very low-budget by the constraints of the cave (only a small crew allowed in), it's an amazing movie. okay, i didn't need the heartbeat in that "silence" sequence but yes, fantastic film because of its subject and the treatment of it. now i have on the bonus 40' feature about the reording of teh music. here's a guy who had a cello built with an extra lower string (a low F). wow. watch it watch it! |

Chauvet cave is awesome. I read this book when I first heard of the caves.
The movie is cool as hell too. Herzog is my man. He gets shot with pellet guns by a stranger during an interview and keeps on rocking. http://youtu.be/HrRNM9cMBDk?t=49s

The movie of "Les Misérables" prompts the musical question: "How can I feel anything for you if you won't shut up about how much you're feeling?"

good artist bio here
Francis Bacon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhHLlpoN8tI great interviews and shows a lot of relatively obscure paintings, but misses some of the more well known ones.....so, a good supplementary bio |

Barcelona - very good, not as interesting as Metropolitan or Last Days of Disco
Boyhood - excellent
