Got my annual Casablanca watch in last night. :thumbsup:

Going to go catch a restored archival print of Touch of Evil on the big screen Thursday night myself.  Art houses FTW.

God I'm jealous.    :cry:

As well you should be.  It looked great, very crisp.  Nobody made smoke look sexier than Marlene Dietrich.

 Just watched Innocence, a pretentious french film.

Man, what a stinker. One of the worst things I have ever watched.

Sylvia Scarlett (1933):

Katherine Hepburn dresses up as a slim and willowy boy in order to help her father flee to England.  There they meet up with jewel smuggler Cary Grant and form a road show.  The whole thing eventually plays out like The Twelfth Night.  At the time the film was a notorious bomb (in one of Hepburn's long string of notorious bombs) today it's recognized as a classic and the break out performance of Cary Grant. 
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

"Walk On The Wild Side" by Ed Dmytryk. based on the Algren book of the same name. starring the ever noirtastic Laurence Harvey, Babs Stanwyck, and a young (and most amazingly assed) Jane Fonda as Kitty Twist. Fun, fast paced tale of doomed love. Like in real life nobody gets any. though they have lots of drama queen fun trying. titles have kitties, and great "hep" music. well crafted fun.

"The Third Man" was on cable Wednesday night.  One of my all-time favorites.  Joseph Cotten is really one of the underrated greats of Hollywood.

Also re-watched "Veronika Voss," from 1982, Fassbinder's second-to-last movie. Set in 1955 about a former Nazi starlet addicted to morphine.  Truly wacky, intense, and moving. 

RIP RWF.  :weep:



Great use of American 50s hillbilly music in the movie too.  This song features in a particularly dramatic scene:  Lee Hazlewood, "Run Boy Run"

Not a huge fan of Fassbinder, but his 15 hour version of "Berlin, Alexanderplatz" is epic. And his 1970s "World on a Wire", based on a sci-fi novel, is an early precursor to Matrix.

Hmm, never seen "World on a Wire."  Have to look for it.  He also acted in, but didn't direct, a pretty nutty futuristic/thriller movie, "Kamikaze 1989" (from 1982 :lol:).

May be hard to find as it's not yet released on DVD due to a copyright struggle. It's based on the book Simulacron-3 by Daniel F. Galouye
