Since my Licorice Pizza spotlight was stolen by a French cuck, here is the new (solo) Coen movie that has some rave reviews out of NYFF. Hoping to see it sooner than later. Another very unique and unexpected entry in the post-NCFOM career. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HM3hsVrBMA4&ab_channel=A24

https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/A-Thousand-Clowns-Blu-ray/250606/I remember T.H. recommending this movie to me maybe 10-15 years ago on the old IGN movies board. I haven't seen it since then but I remember giving it a 10/10. I doubt I'd still like it that much, but who knows...I think this is the first ever non-VHS home release.

Tarantino's new film. Starring Leo, Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie, Al Pacino, Burt Reynolds, and pretty much everyone else
A TV actor and his stunt double embark on an odyssey to make a name for themselves in the film industry during the Charles Manson murders in 1969 Los Angeles.
Love the Leone title. I've got high hopes for this one.
Comes out August 9th 2019

SLWB's resident list-maker PowerRR is coming in hot with a new fuckin' list. This time, he just watched the most recent Best Picture winner The Shape of Water and also is kinda drunk.
Not surprisingly, he was disappointed with the newest Best Picture winner. So much so, then why not figure out where it ranks in the list of all the pretty mediocre winners???
So lets share that list. And then, we can also have a topic to revisit each year there is a shitty to mediocre Best Picture Winner.
Perhaps the most surprising part of me making this list is that I found out that I actually do like all these films. The last 5 or so are borderline dislike. But for the most part, I only like them. Very few truly great movies.

Here's a guy who deserves his own thread. I think I recall T.H. being a pretty big fan, right? He's got some loose Leone ties that I can think of. Morricone did the score for The Thing. Lee Van Queef was in Escape from New York. Three of his films are coming new to Blu-Ray this summer: http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=23103In typical PowerRR fashion of course this post will come with a list as well. 1. Starman - 10 2. They Live - 9 3. In the Mouth of Madness - 9 4. Halloween - 8 5. Big Trouble in Little China - 8 6. Escape from New York - 8 7. Christine - 7 8. The Fog - 7 9. The Thing - 6 Haven't Seen: Dark Star Assault on Precinct 13 Someone's Watching Me! Elvis Prince of Darkness Memoirs of an Invisible Man Village of the Damned Escape from L.A. Vampires Ghosts of Mars The Ward Any recommendations of what to watch next? I've got a weird taste in Carpenter films. I like all of them. But I find The Thing, generally considered his best, to be pretty bland (other than the effects). Fucking love Starman. One of my favorite movies.

Written, Directed, and Shot by Paul Thomas Anderson Starring Daniel Day-Lewis Original Score by Johnny Greenwood December 25th https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNsiQMeSvMkSet in the glamour of 1950s post-war London, renowned dressmaker Reynolds Woodcock (Day-Lewis) and his sister Cyril (Leslie Manville) are at the center of British fashion, dressing royalty, movie stars, heiresses, socialites, debutants and dames with the distinct style of The House of Woodcock. Women come and go through Woodcock’s life, providing the confirmed bachelor with inspiration and companionship, until he comes across a young, strong-willed woman, Alma (Vicky Krieps), who soon becomes a fixture in his life as his muse and lover. Once controlled and planned, he finds his carefully tailored life disrupted by love.

I know a few of us here dabble in / have careers in video and film work ( n_l, mike siege, me, others?). So I figure we could have a general thread to group all the self-promotion into one lump. I'll start. Here's some stuff I've done in the past year that I like This music video for one of my favorite bands. I edited and co-produced. they're pretty much unknown but the new album has gotten solid praise from Rolling Stone as one of the best of the year so far. Obama likes them too. Most of the views are on the Facebook upload, so here's the YouTube one. It was released this week https://youtu.be/YAiXA68w6NsSame as above, edited and co-produced. This is my hometown friend. It's unreleased, in distribution limbo. No new album planned, so no release strategy. https://vimeo.com/205150127/1a034749a2'Dare to Be Remarkable', documentary I posted about before, but in full form. also in limbo other than a few screenings throughout the year - a tough sell for obvious reasons. Edited this as well https://vimeo.com/168808339PW:riiff

Terrence Malick churned out another one. I'm the only person in the world who liked To the Wonder and Knight of Cups, and probably the only person who has even seen Voyage of Time or knows that it came out - which is fantastic btw https://youtu.be/V9t4SKWryWMLooks the same style visually as his post-ToL work, but slightly more conventional which will make it better

Paul Thomas Anderson and Daniel Day-Lewis reunite for a 1950's London fashion film. Produced at Annapurna Pictures with distribution from Focus Features later this year (maybe). Maybe a working title, but this is what it goes by for now. Production started this week
