And now for the really hard part...
The next seven days are gonna sting folks, but once they're over I can breathe again and finally get back to normal for a few weeks before TIFF begins. Around these parts, things oughta be especially nutty as I'm recording three podcast episodes in four days. In the category of "Small Mercies", one of the three isn't my responsiility to edit and post.
All I can say is bring it on!
Not sure what I'm seeing this weekend, though a showing of LA DOLCE VITA is there for the pickin'. We shall see...
For your listening and reading fulfillment, I give you...
The ladies of Reel Insight welcomed a new guest to their fold this week when David stopped by for some John Cusack chatter. Listen closely and you can hear the margaritas being slurped.
Like something that is generally derided? Mike at You Talkin' wants you to nut up or shut up.
A doc I've been wanting to see for almost a year now is Errol Morris' TABLOID (perhaps the doc's subject matter will even troll my comment section!). The newly spruced-up Film Forager has seen it and adds another log to my burning fires of curiosity.
Anomolous Materials wonders whether we have seen the last of the great blockbusters (I say nay, but they're becoming fewer and further between).
I'm anxiously waiting for a blu-ray copy of MODERN TIMES to arrive in my mailbox (thanks again RI). Stupid Barnes & Noble is taking a stupid long stime shipping me the stupid package (harumph!). In the meantime I can catch up with Charlie and The Void's thoughts on this Chaplin classic.
Rich wonders (rightly) if we have to be grossed out to laugh these days.
Enjoy!

Thanks for the link, Hatts!
Thanks for the link love, as always. However, you can listen as closely as you want, but you will not hear the margarita slupring as this was a Saturday morning episode. Our next episode, however, is a different story.
Thanks for the link love sir.
Thanks for the love. The upcoming episode definitely had a fair amount of margarita slurping. Yum.
Thanks for the love man. I'm going to do The Great Dictator tomorrow and maybe on Sunday, Jacques Tati's Mr. Hulot's Holiday.
Oh thank you for the linkage! It's a cool doc, no doubt about it, I hope you get to see it soon! I haven't heard anything from Joyce McKinney herself but perhaps she's just biding her time.
I didn't even know MODERN TIMES just got a blu-ray release, just coincidentally chose it for my new header!
And thank you from me as well. (Rich from a different browser)
@ Charles... Anytime dude.
@ Rachel... This first step is admitting you have a problem.
@ Castor... The hard part is not linking to you every week.
@ Jess... Anytime. Perhaps when I do a return guest spot, I'll forsake the tea for a more grown-up beverage.
@ The Void... I'll have to track down your DICTATOR post. That's one of my all-time faves.
@ Alex... The very best part of my Friday was coming home to a white tube from Cambridge MA in my mailbox. Thanks so very much - gonna take it to the framing shop tomorrow!
And indeed, MODERN TIMES got the blu-ray treatment through Criterion back at Christmas give it a look sometime.
@ Rich... Most welcome good sir.
Belated thanks from me as well.
@ Rich... A belated "you're welcome"!
There are not that many movie blogs around so it was a delight to find one as useful as this. Please keep up the good work.
Another good one I found was BestOnlineMovieSite.com.
