I watched Do the right thing and The gleaners and I today and that makes 78/100. 1. “Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles” (Chantal Akerman, 1975) 2. “Vertigo” (Alfred Hitchcock, 1958) 3. “Citizen Kane” (Orson Welles, 1941) 4. “Tokyo Story” (Ozu Yasujiro, 1953) 5. “In the Mood...

So, new update. Watched La dolce vita, Rio Bravo, La grande illusion and Solaris. Out of those I only got kind of disappointed with Solaris, I had trouble connecting emotionally with it to be honest. First time that happens with Tarkovsky. I've got a couple yet to watch, hopefully this does not...

Thanks for your mention! I agree that it could have explained in more detail, but then again this was made primarily for a Japanese audience and it has this local and generational attachment, so our alienation was perhaps something expected. The background is even more interesting; its source is...

@BlitzPhoenix98 Seita has a major reason to act like he does... he's been raised to. He is a spoiled child and the son of a naval officer, suddenly thrown into a situation that is too big for him. Other people would have toughened up, he just did it wrong, through a misguided sense of pride. As...

All movies: 1. BU · SU (Jun Ichikawa, 1987) 2. Repentance (Tengiz Abuladze, 1984) 3. A watcher in the attic (Akio Jissoji, 1993) 4. Crazy Thunder Road (Gakuryû Ishii, 1980) 5. Artificial paradises (Yulene Olaizola, 2011)

Shoah and Sátantangó are on the way, so...

Slow-paced as usual, I'm at 534/1245 (43%). That's... 2% more than last time? Give me 20-30 years and it's done.

Yep, I'm here: https://myanimelist.net/profile/jal90 Do you have one?

Non Non Biyori must be the one I want to watch the most. Iyashikei is my beat and this is my most essential miss. Along with seasons 2 and 3 of Aria, the really good ones apparently. I stayed forever stuck in season 1.

I watched quite a few. Otto e mezzo, Ordet, Late spring and The sting were every bit as fascinating as expected. I have more than a few moral issues with the otherwise pretty well-done Schindler's list, and I kind of confirm that my affair with Mizoguchi is complicated with Sansho the bailiff...

Can't help much with my literal only feature from that year, it's fine but that's all. I need recs as well xD. Asking for 1918 now that I'm at it. If you are going for shorts, Chaplin's The immigrant is definitely good though.

Yeah, it's very good.

Got a bit better than when I posted years ago. Assuming that 2021 doesn't count (it totally should but you know) and also assuming that it's about features, I stand at 1918 now: 2020 - Wolfwalkers 2019 - Parasite 2018 - The wolf house 2017 - The lion sleeps tonight 2016 - A silent voice 2015 -...

Okay, so I finally watched The birth of a nation. That was a big weight off my shoulders. I hated it. This is vile, rotten cinema. Somehow much worse than I expected. But it's done. Finally. The rest should be smooth compared to this chore.

Yeah, Griffith is some special guy. A 3-hour nasty KKK propaganda piece followed by a 3-hour apology. Still, I think they are movies that should be watched at least once in a lifetime, I just can't find my mood. And then there's Les vampires. Holy crap, the rest of the list may be easy to end...

Now I'm at 517/1228. Not much progression. On a side note, I've always wanted to explore what I have yet to watch chronologically, but I never get into it. That eternal roadblock called The birth of a nation (you need a special mood for 3 hours of over-the-top silent racism) keeps getting in...

Hey! I've been fine, just doing as usual. I haven't been much in here lately because there wasn't much I could talk about, but there's always the occasional thread. How are you doing?

Since my top5 is so set in stone I may have mentioned it here once or twice, I'll expand the list to mention stuff I love: 1. Azumanga Daioh 2. Cowboy Bebop 3. Mushishi 4. Princess Tutu 5. Kino's journey (2003) 6. Yuru Camp 7. Girls' last tour 8. The Tatami Galaxy 9. Usagi Drop 10. Manabi...

Last few I watched: Andrei Rublev - It's three hours long which made it the main reason why I haven't yet finished with Tarkovsky, but as expected, this was great and worth every minute. The whole movie is gorgeous to watch and is a fascinating reflection on faith and humanity through the life...

Dude, where's my ranch? to me. They had such a promising episode about Homer creating his own Christmas song and finding success, it was funny, it could have some interesting satire or social commentary, etc. Then the Simpsons move to a ranch, they do stuff I don't care about for like fifteen...
