Movies Watched -- Contempt (1963)

Added on by C. Maoxian.

103 minute running time but I wisely abandoned this at the 10 minute mark … sweet Jesus, this was a pile of shit … sure, Brigitte Bardot has an outstanding ass, but holy crap this was terrible. Jean-Luc Godard, what a pretentious prick. John Farr steered me wrong here (“In the hands of New Wave master-bater Godard…“), but you don’t have to make the same mistake that I did and waste a rental on this. And poor old Fritz Lang roped into appearing, sheesh. Full red, avoid.

Movies Watched -- Salesman (1969)

Added on by C. Maoxian.

90 minute running time so the perfect length. I loved this one! It’s a sort-of documentary from 1969 made by a pair of Jewish brothers who followed a group of Irish-Catholic door-to-door bible salesmen doing their thing … it’s fascinating, hilarious, tragic, and deeply depressing all at once. Great recommendation from John Farr since I’d never even heard of it. Green-go!

133 minute running time, so way way way too long … I abandoned this at the one hour mark and should have quit sooner … Marion Morrison with his weird way of talking and walking … pretty boy Montgomery Clift may explain why John Farr recommended this, but I hated this one … dumb violence, fake Injun attacks, phony father-son psycho-drama, it just sucked. Total avoid.

Movies Watched -- Downhill Racer (1969)

Added on by C. Maoxian.

101 minute running time … I liked this one … an unusual movie, neat to see the ancient ski technology … Redford plays a selfish rogue, getting ahead with his raw talent and killer good looks … able to bang the hottest girl (Carole Carle) in the horseshit town he goes home to when not banging a sophisticated Ivanka beauty while in Europe, though she could take him or leave him … a good recommendation by John Farr, I’d never heard of this one, and I’m glad I did … green-go. For once the Criterion Collection gets it right with an English language selection.

I've got a chance to go to Denver this fall and study dental hygiene.

Movies Watched -- Brief Encounter (1945)

Added on by C. Maoxian.

86 minute running time … a Noel Coward play made for the big screen … an extramarital affair treated with great sensitivity, maybe too much sensitivity … "When I behold upon the night starred face huge cloudy symbols of a high … something with seven letters. Romance, I think. I’m almost sure it is.” A very British approach …I’ll give it a green-go rating for now, haven’t seen many movies from 1945 so it might get bumped off the list later, we’ll see.

I'm sure that the whole situation must seem inexpressibly vulgar to you.

Movies Watched -- The Naked Prey (1966)

Added on by C. Maoxian.

96 minute running time … this wasn’t bad, but it’s not good enough to recommend either … survival in the African bush after being captured and set free (hunter and hunted stuff) … John Farr recommended this one, probably for the homoerotic element (you watch a handsome nearly naked guy (the writer-director himself) with an amazing physique for 90% of the picture). Glad I saw it anyway.
