97 minute running time … recommended by a TWTR buddy, I wasn’t thrilled with the 1980s comedy starring a very young John Cusack … generally a National Lampoon feel and had some trippy drug-inspired bits, but I wasn’t interested. Not recommended.
Speaking Howard Cosell…
Ana Gabriela Esmeralda Diaz Molina (Swedish mom, Venezuelan dad) sings Det löser sig … I dig it:
The great Edna Wright singing a Bob Zimmerman song… I listened to the whole “Dylan’s Gospel” album and this is the one song that works best:
In Persian. 92 minute running time. I loved Close-Up so I thought I’d give another Kiarostami movie a try, and John Farr reco’d Shirin, and I’m glad he did since I also LOVED this movie. Kiarostami is a clever guy with interesting ideas… [SPOILERS] he took 100+ stunningly beautiful Iranian actresses and filmed them each for five minutes while giving them emotional cues, then he cobbled it all together pretending that they’re watching a movie based on some ancient Persian poem, and it’s just fascinating and ingenious. This is a green-go recommended movie.
I didn’t realize how beautiful the women are in Iran, but it makes sense because of the Silk Road and all the Occidental / Oriental mixed marriages … just draw-dropping, gorgeous ladies.
Oh Shirin Shirin!
In French. 71 minute running time. Animated. When the French do psychedelic drugs, movies like this one are the result. It made me wonder if the Czech animators also did drugs or just brought the French druggies’ visions to life? This was trippy and not terrible, but also not something I’d recommend, unless you’re interested in druggie movies from the 1960s and 70s. I would not recommend watching this under the influence of anything stronger than ginger ale.
Vous partir vite!
In Mayan or some other ancient language? 138 minute running time so way way too long … I watched the first 20 minutes or so then went to 16x fast forward for the rest … Mel Gibson likes making these ultra-violent warrior spirit / torture pr0n movies, over and over again. Might have been better if not so long, or at least bearable, but this was sensory overload, no thanks, you can give it a miss.

When I first heard this song I thought it was Rachael Price and Lake Street Dive, but no, it’s someone named Rachel Mazer and her copycat Lake Street Dive band with “Is It So Wrong?” … nevertheless, I dig it:
Adrianne Lenker with “Zombie Girl” … I dig it:
