It's really bumming me out how little respect Jack Arnold's filmography's gotten, that only something like 70% of his 1950s output is available in any fashion, and only about half available in any easily obtainable format.  Sure, Criterion will make sure every last little piece of crap by any Euroloser with a camera gets a pristine blu-ray release, but an American contract director who made good movies that people would probably actually enjoy?  Fuck that.  It's not pretentious enough.

Don't be a shit in my cut, dude.  If you were complaining you couldn't find some of the more obscure Garbo movies, I wouldn't give you a hard time.

And I would. :P

Thing is, I wanted to do a retrospective on all his 50s movies that were available... but it looks like, one thriller, one Western, one high school exploitation movie, and one Peter Sellers-is-different-people comedy aside, it'll just have to be his sci-fi.

The new trailer for Lars von Trier's director's cut version of Nymphomaniac is the most NSFW video I've seen. Ever. Woah.

It appears Austrian Alpine Western "The Dark Valley" will be an Oscar candidate:

Neat.  I have no idea what it's supposed to be about, but I guess people get shot.

It wasn't about the phrasing.

There's a new documentary about recent research on Stone Henge that looks pretty interesting

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Stone Henge?  Sounds like a professional wrestler.

Another thing I remembered from Guardians of the Galaxy: They (Nova Corps) actually evacuated the city that's under direct attack.Making them more conscientious than Nolan's/Snyder's Superman. :P

Troll, in which a boy named Harry Potter learns magic from a witch to defeat an evil wizard with the help of magic staffs.

Huh.

Anyways, it's a corny and hilarious classic (Sonny Bono as Quagmire wannabe! :lol: ). 6/10
