The Beginning The Immediate Past The Past The Immediate Future The Present
Dispatches from the heart of dark chocolate:
1 January 2007 - Over the past two years, I have set aside one day a week to compile a list of Films That Should Be On DVD Already (which has expanded to include Short Films, Music Videos, Television Shows and anything else I could think of to keep the concept going). In that time, I've made 96 entries, four of which were doubled up, meaning there are exactly 100 titles on the list. Not a bad place -- or time -- to pull the plug. (Sorry I didn't get to you, John Boorman's Beyond Rangoon, John Huston's The Dead or Richard Lester's It's Trad, Dad!)
Oh, yes. Nappy Yew Hear -- Yappy Hew Near -- Happy Yew Near -- Nappy Hew Year -- Yappy New Hear -- Happy New Year.
2 January 2007 - Speaking of taking stock (we were, weren't we?), yesterday I compiled my list of The Best Films of 2006 (something I didn't do last year). I put a fair bit of effort into it, so I hope somebody cares enough to read it.
3 January 2007 - Another one for the "sorry I didn't get to you" pile is Robert Altman's 1983 film Streamers. To think that Beyond Therapy is available on DVD and this isn't simply astonishes me.
5 January 2007 - It's January, so welcome once again to Hollywood's Dumping Grounds! Among the films being tossed out the back of the truck this week:
-- Code Name: The Cleaner, in which janitor Cedric the Entertainer suffers head trauma and believes he's a secret agent;
-- Happily N'Ever After, in which some Hollywood executives suffer head trauma and believe that correct punctation is merely a suggestion; and
-- Thr3e, in which some more Hollywood execs believe audiences have collective amnesia and have forgotten that the Saw movies and Se7en already exist. The only head trauma suffered there will be if people are actually duped into going.
