I don't know how much of it I'll stay for, but I'm going to MOMA in NYC and seeing at least part of Christian Marclay's The Clock this weekend.

My two companions will go with me for a while, which I consider a miracle on the order of loaves and fishes.

I'm not a big fan of Marc Maron's stand-up but agree with Dom about his podcast. And while I'm not averse to Whitney Cummings like so many people, this is Tweet made me laugh.

Heard the other day that this year is the 50th anniversary of Bruce the shark making an appearance. I assume summer will be full of replays.

One of the scenes I always stick around for when I come upon it.

Lol. Love it.

I'd fly across the country to see Paris Texas in a theater.

can someone eli5 why so many people love that movie, i found it boring and without any plot nor substance

i've probably watched it 3 times because i keep trying to give it 2nd chances

Rick, sometimes a movie is not for you. Shrug and move on.

Blade Runner the Final Cut playing at the Beverly in Vegas tonight...might have to go see it for the 60th or 70th time lol.

I listen to most of them. He feels like an old friend at this point.

Thanks for mentioning this! I’m a bit of a Maron fanboy and have been waiting for this since he’s mentioned it on his podcast a bunch.

I was always a fan of his standup but didn’t get into the podcast because I knew I’d have to listen to every episode. I did end up starting it anyway after he had Tarantino on and said screw it and listened to it all day every day to catch up. I still have about 1/3 to go but I’m in no rush.

Anytime I would think of a major event, I’d look up the dates and listen to his reactions. It’s a fun way to knock them out.

"When We Were Kings"
The story of the Rumble In the Jungle: Ali Vs Foreman

Considered one of the best sports documentaries of all time. Because, of course, it's not really about sports. A little dated feeling, and drags a bit in the middle, still relevant. I knew most of the story but never seen the film. Actual fight breakdown is limited but fascinating to watch. On Netflix.

Coppola's The Last Showgirl Isn't as bad as 'all that'.



I was reasonably happy this was made in the manner that it was, though I had hoped for an even deeper sense of depression and hopelessness.

Jamie Lee Curtis and David Bautista are the class of the field in terms of acting in this film... but for me, the vehicle works despite some flaws.

One of the best interviewers I've listened to. I definitely need to listen to more. I appreciate and respect when he recognizes a fellow recovering addict and talks to them about it, and even share a few war stories. I was pretty surprised to hear he doesn't do a ton of research on his guests, other than obvious stuff like watch the show/movie/special they're promoting on their publicity tour. His conversations flow beautifully.

While I wasn't a big KISS fan, it was an enjoyable film, reminded me of some things we would do on the sly, often for concerts as well.

I didn't know he was around that far back. His TV show from about 10 years ago was great though.

Flow

I really enjoyed this one. Hoping we see more animated movies with this style in the future.

looking forward to this one...taking my GF to see it this week

Was in NYC this weekend, and I was able to catch an hour of Christian Marclay's The Clock at the Museum of Modern Art.

I've wanted to see this film for years now, but the only place to see it is in a museum, and it isn't shown often. I knew the basics of the film: It runs for twenty-hours and each of the clips either show clocks or have someone say the time.

The time on the clocks are synched to the actual time so 2:15 in the film is 2:15. Not every shot shows a clock because a minute needs to pass, and sometimes there's multiple clocks with a few shots during the one minute.

What surprised me was the matching from shot to shot. One shot, for example, shows someone aiming a gun that cuts to someone shooting the gun in the next shot.

Marclay and assistants went through thousands of film and TV clips to find moments that showed clocks. I was able to recognize a number of the films and shows from which the clips are taken. Look: there's The Sting, Three Days of the Condor, The Taking of Pelham 123, 3:1O to Yuma, Billy Liar, and The Twilight Zone. I recognized about thirty shots in less than an hour. There's a scene from Hook in which a young boy smashes clocks, stopping time, to remind us that time passing in our lives inexorably goes by.

I would have stayed for a few hours, but I took mercy on my travel companions who even found it fascinating.

If you ever have the opportunity to see it, hurry. Even though I only saw an hour, it easily jumped into my top one hundred of all time.

Very cool, John

Big day for movie nerds! New episode of Every Frame a Painting and David Ehrlich's annual Top 25 movies video. wait AND Every Frame a Painting SHORT

I gotta say...Anora didn't really stay with me at all. Yes, the last scene was powerful...but the rest of it, while entertaining sometimes, was just not that interesting.

lol, as a non-cinephile, this almost seems like an reductio ad absurdum of the entire movies-as-art enterprise. I'd be looking around for hidden cameras and Allen Funt the whole time. But I love the idea, I'll admit it. High concept, and about time!

"Flow"

I forgot to mention to make sure to stay until the end and watch the post credits, which is a good idea to do with any movie.

Love seeing the love for Flow. That movie snuck up on me. A buddy of mine warned me. He knows I get emotional while watching movies. I was a mess through the entire runtime. One of the better animated films I've seen in recent years.

Inspired by being back here and rewatching Every Frame a Painting I started a YouTube channel where I'll be analyzing films, pointing out cool stuff I notice and review films. Here's the second short I made for the channel, I'm proud of this one. Pardon the weird cropping. There are certain things you have to do to avoid copyright claims on YouTube, which includes keeping clips to less than 5 seconds and weird cropping
