The week of neverending screenings is almost at its end...although now there's talk of DINNER FOR SCHMUCKS on the weekend.
Actually, there was a small wrench in the plans this week as I never made it to IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE due to some deceptively inclement weather. Gonna have to make do with renting it instead. Then again, if last week taught me anything, it's that I should check the TV listings for the next week...as it's entirely likely that the moment I go rent this sucker, I'll flip past IFC and find myself fifteen minutes in.
Such was the case last weekend with BOTTLE ROCKET.
By the way - is it just me, or is there precious little coming out in the month of August that looks any good? Something tells me that my summer of hitting up the art house theatres isn't letting up anytime soon. Enough grumpiness for one week. As I put the final touches on the next Matineecast, let's look at what my brethren are up to.
For your reading fulfillment, I give you...
Tonight I'll be watching the second part of The Vengeance Trilogy. As fate would have it, Groovers & Mobsters have dedicated a post to the whole series!
Congratulations to Fletch for the Oddest Top Five Ever.
In all the talk of Christopher Nolan lately, I've noticed that INSOMNIA tends to get almost mumbled as an afterthought. Thus, it's good to hear someone like Jake at Not Just Movies give it some props.
Wunderkind Sebastian Gutierrez has been hosting an event dedicated to all things Jo-Go. Here's his entry on my favorite of the man's movies, BRICK.
The girls are back. After a gap just long enough to work anticipation into a fever pitch, Forager, 1416, Nerd Vampire, and The Final Girl have returned with the second episode of Some Cast it Hot.
Enjoy!

Insomnia really doesn't get the love that it deserves. Awesome movie. Glad to see a handful of others agree. And that poll from Fletch was UNREAL. Really wish I'd thought of that.
Just curious on something, Mad. What do you usually look for when it comes to the links?
@ Movienut... Please, call me Hatter.
Jokes aside, I don't have a SOLID formula. The only two rules I have is that I try not to pick the same spaces two weeks in a row, and I try not to pick more than one review post. Beyond that, it all depends on my mood on Thursday nights.
(Have I inadvertently gone a long time without linking one of your posts?)
Haha, someone's gonna be thrilled with a "Jo-Go" name-drop...
If people keep calling you Mad, are you actually going to get mad? I noticed that Uni kept calling you that during the Enigma. Stay tuned...
Thanks for the love, good sir. Odd ain't a bad thing to be. Thanks to you, too, Aiden.
Aw sorry you missed the In The Mood for Love screening! I'm hoping to see that on a big screen soon myself- it's being shown as part my repertory theater's "(Some of the) Best of the Oughts" series.
Anyway thanks a bunch for the link!
It was POURING. POURING. And I was actually considering going.
But yeah. POURING.
Thanks for the link, yo.
@ Aiden... I'm strating to think it's just that something has to be at the bottom of the list. But I'm with you - it's underrated.
@ Fletch... He hasn't noticed yet, but even though I usually shun such nicknames, I must admit that "Jo-Go" is pretty fun to say.
And I don't know if I'm full-tilt mad just yet, but I've certainly never been all there.
@ Alex... The TIFF 100 series had it listed amongst their selections. So it will come back around. I'll refrain from renting!
@ Sasha... That was why I decided just to go home. But in the time it took me to go a piddling seven subway stops, I stepped up to clear skies and pleasant weather.
Made me feel like a bit of a quitter.
@Hatter Apart from the Inception post, nope.
Brick seems to be the favorite for a lot of people. For me it's The Lookout and this film no one's ever heard of that I'm ending my review spree with.
Thanks for the linkage!
Oh, HE HAS NOTICED and is grateful. I've got a post dedicated to it next week. This Jo-Go thing will take off if it kills me. You da man, Hatter!!!
Thanks for the Vengeance link, Hatter. I keep telling Andy (who will be on MILFcast tomorrow BTW) that they need to change it to Groovers, Mobsters and THE LIST present cuz I've posted on that series as much as Heather now! haha
Enjoy Oldboy, my man... you won't be disappointed. And let me know when you get your package in the mail. Hoping you like that something extra I threw in!
