    ah, thought so. i've browsed there before, but never joined. the level of technical knowledge that a lot of the members there have is a bit daunting to me. also thanks a lot for the tip on importcds. Olive has a lot of great stuff coming soon, like those two 70s Godards and Johnny Guitar.

    lol, it's not that i feel guilty, just that it really makes me sad when such excellent companies aren't doing well financially, and as one of the minority of folks who is definitely interested in what they're selling, there's no reason why i shouldn't send something their way every so often...

    all that about MoC makes me feel terrible. you single-handedly inspired me to order the two Sirks on that label + Pialat's We Won't Grow Old Together. i'm probably gonna order a ton of stuff from Olive Films later this summer as well. Park Row is also my favorite Fuller, with Pickup on South...

    there's a sense in which his reckless lifestyle is intertwined with his genius. and it seems to be taken for granted that his kind of grand ambition and egoism could never become a stable Hollywood director. from what i know of him, it's hard for me to imagine his career turning out differently...

    the arc of Welles' career is really tragic and frustrating to me, and even though i think he did amazing work all throughout his career, the question of what he might have done if things had gone better for him in Hollywood always lingers for me. i'll check out The Stranger as soon as possible...

    yeah i think at some level the scattershot-ness represents a new direction for him that he mastered extremely well (more montage-based than spatially based), but i do think there's a perfection that Kane and Ambersons achieve that something like Othello doesn't. Chimes at Midnight is the...

    i love Welles too. have you seen his European works? i'm absolutely in love with F for Fake and Chimes at Midnight. i still have so much Ford to see (i've seen only seventeen of his films so far), but i'll echo your love for Fort Apache (one of Ford's most complex films, i'd say), How Green Was...

    i agree that it's primarily comic with tragic digressions, but i thought it was perfect, because lest you get too wrapped up in the film's good cheer, there will be an occasional plummet back to the harshness of life and moments of doubt that invalidate all the good cheer (the death of the baby...

    sup Ragged_Clown! holy shit, move to B&R and make our film discussion exponentially better than it currently is. i'm a huge fan of sentimental Ford (my other Ford favorite is The Sun Shines Bright), and The Long Gray Line sort of weds Ford's sentimentality for military honor and Irish immigrant...
