Which name is that?
I'm glad no one bothers with your "print publications." People know when they're reading something they've read before. Heck, you still copy from me!
It's amazing to me...

No problem, Rebecca Bell. How is Leeds? It was good to see you at MUBI. I hope you enjoyed our conversations. How many other fake accounts do you have there and at other sites?
So the site's resident plagiarist has written a book? Congrats, indeed!
Congratulations! Looking forward to your comments. I think Three Times is also receiving a limited run in Toronto so I might just go up there to watch it again (I initially saw it at the TIFF); the...
I agree with a lot of what you've said (particularly with your comments on its visual aspect), but it seemed like the film ultimately cornered itself because it didn't develop a strong enough...
Technically you're right because it does exist on DVD: I think there are at least 3 different versions available (I have the cheap Panorama disc), but there's little doubt that the Criterion release...
Not much for this month but we don't need anything else because Ozu's Late Spring is scheduled. The double disc set will include Tokyo-Ga (1985), director Wim Wenders’ tribute to the filmmaker, an...

A few months ago I probably would’ve argued with the latter part of your statement, but after what recently transpired in Paris, it became obvious that things aren’t what they used to be. The riots...
Brokeback Mountain, which opens (finally) next week, is less a movie than a chunk of American landscape, or perhaps, as director Ang Lee suggests, a pioneering settlement on Hollywood's "one last...
Initially, yes, but that was not the case after the scene shifted to Guyana. There were sequences – involving Yhap’s chickens, the locals the filmmaker tried to impress, etc. – that were merely...
You can rent 2 more Ruiz films from Netflix: Genealogies of a Crime (1998) and Comedy of Innocence (2000) -- both are available under "Raoul" Ruiz (they need to fix that). Time Regained is one of...
I think Franco is a pretty good actor -- I liked him in the TV series "Freaks and Geeks" and in one film with De Niro (can't remember the title) -- but he's mostly been relegated to B-grade stuff.
I liked Ruiz's Ce Jour-là quite a bit (it made my "Best Undistributed Films" list in 2004). I'm glad that it hasn't been forgotten, but I highly doubt that it'll be distributed, though. Among other...
No, I haven't seen this one. Actually, I wasn't even aware of it until you brought it up. Is it worth tracking down?
None of the mainstream releases from 2006 have attracted my interest so far. ...
That review from Chris Knipp is also available on this site (along with one from wpqx), and it's just a few threads down from here.
That’s a very interesting comment because it portrays the mindset of most viewers while they’re watching a film like Wild Side. I think in most cases when we see trans/homosexual characters, we have...
While discussing his provocative new feature Wild Side, French filmmaker Sébastien Lifshitz (Come Undone [2000]) recently stated that "I’m drawn to impenetrable characters that operate outside the...
Rendezvous usually starts during the second week of March, and it is an annual event. They'll probably release the schedule in a couple of weeks. Right now a Catalan series is going on which will...
Soeurs fâchées, Les: Yes, I liked it too; glad that you picked it up. I also think that it's distributable.
Je rentre à la maison: A graceful effort from an honorable filmmaker. Its final...

SPOTLIGHT ON RAUL RUIZ:
Ce Jour-là / That Day
Raul Ruiz, Switzerland, 2003; 105m
"Take an Agatha Christie-esque Ten Little Indians premise, turn it on...
If Chris Knipp needs to defend himself, he'll do so personally. The comments weren't "outrageous," nor did they lack a "factual basis"; I'm not here to embarrass anyone, otherwise I could've taken...
No, you're not about to arouse anything further no matter how hard you try. I had read Rosenbaum's comment before, which was nothing but a cheap shot, but I wasn't going to respond until you posted...
Does "The Ringer" feature any spit-lubed buttsex? Anyway, I think it's one of wpqx's all-time favorites.
It wasn't meant to be a refutation; there isn't much there to "refute."
Spielberg has been more ardently criticized for being pro-Arab. I guess that must be because he "enjoys killing them."
