Netflix has received my 4 films I returned and they're sending me the next 4 in my queue

[terrya]

That's my big news of the day.

I thought I'd do my own attention whoring type post.

3. Uh, no.

That's not being offered as of yet. :-)

2. what goodies are you getting?

I'm always interested in recommendations!

[terrya]

4. Well....

I'm getting:

"The Conversation" with Gene Hackman (I'm embarrassed to say that I haven't seen it)

"A Wedding" directed by Robert Altman

"8/12"

"The Films of Kenneth Anger"

Sort of an eclectic mix. :-)

5. my dear, you have excellent taste!

for years, my husband the film student's favorite film was The Conversation.

And you can't go wrong with Altman, Fellini (yay!) and Anger.

For Xmas, my husband ordered himself a Maya Deren film restrospective.

6. Cool!

And what was your take on Maya Deren? I'm always looking to expand my film horizons. :-)

7. she revitalized American experimental film after WWII

and connected it with the European tradition. She had a dance background. Very interesting woman!

(this is my husband talking... he's home today.) And my son liked some of the films he saw, as well.



As for Anger - he is intense - early 60s film-maker, wrote Hollywood Babylon, etc. Husband says 2 minute short called Puce Moment is one of his favorites. Very challenging film-maker. Hold on, I'm getting a lecture! :rofl:


Unseen Cinema -Experimental Cinema of the 40s and 50s, a DVD I think, covers a lot of avant garde films from that period.

Anyway, if I get him to come to Chicago with me, he could give you film chapter and verse in person!

9. I'm impressed. Not only have I never seen any of them

but I've never heard of any of them. Let us know how they go?

8. My new running shoes should get here today.

Maybe they will make me feel guilty enough to start running again. :(

On edit: changed "shows" to "shoes" since that's what I meant. So if you thought I said "shows," it wasn't your imagination!
