Yesterday is history and so let's have tonight's film club be the highlights from last night's glorious game. Just inject it into my veins.
LGM film club
I need to run downstairs to watch my Oregon Ducks, but around here, why not just discuss one of the great movies that presumably all have seen. That's High Noon..
What could be more 70s than Kris Kristofferson singing "Help Me Make It Through the Night" with Miss Piggy? Nothing.
Watching Antonioni's Blow-Up continues two recent themes--checking off films I should have seen years ago and films from the counterculture era that are shockingly sexist. As a general rule, I am not a big Antonioni guy, especially after the mid 60s. The early Italian films...

Criterion has recently added the films of the pioneering director Youssef Chahine and I've checked a couple of them out. The best I've seen so far is the 1958 film.
The Beast is the new film by Bertrand Bonnello. I hadn't seen any of his previous films, but I know he is respected in the French film world. It is.
