He's a very interesting director, not to everyone's taste and some of his stuff leaves me cold. But even when he misses, he does it in such a unique way that I can't help but watch.<br /><br />Thanks for reading!Roman J.

But as you say, there is plenty of fun to be had with watching these films without Mike, Joel or the bots. <br /><br />I appreciate that you've stuck with me since my older blog and your commentary is always welcome! Thanks again! Looking forward to the new year!Roman J.

Just added "Jackie Brown" to my collection the other day. Hadn't seen that film in years, but it holds up well. <br /><br />Thanks for reading!Roman J.

I also get off track by following what my heart desires. I started bingeing unexpectedly on Stargate Atlantis and Stargate Universe. So it's nice to surprise yourself. Happy new year.

When 3 or 4 days go by, that itch grows bothersome and can be scratched only with a keyboard. I appreciate in particular your willingness to review bad movies, for nothing is quite so satisfying as a campy bad film. (Not a taste shared by everyone, I know, but they are missing out.) If a film is campy enough, I’ll do without MST3K, but there are some flicks that are pretty hard to watch any other way. Your musical commentary draws attention to a too frequently overlooked component of filmmaking, too.<br />Richard Bellushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10108081864942272619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2801441755423984496.post-24538942454859711852014-01-05T10:43:57.170-08:002014-01-05T10:43:57.170-08:00Glad you met some goals--it is a hard thing to do....Glad you met some goals--it is a hard thing to do. I really don't have any suggestions, but I think follow your muse, even if you step out side some goal or predetermined guideline.<br /><br />I watched 007's Goldfinger last night, just because I was in the mood for some over-the-top spy fiction and action, and really, I never have sat down and watched it from beginning to end. I also watched Tarantino's Django over the weekend. Both are fun films.<br /><br />I've been meaning to check out Avalon too--so many movies, so little time. (I've read that phrase applied to books as well, but for me, it's more apt for movies.) El Voxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05985563041511492981noreply@blogger.com
