Everybody’s Talkin’ 11 – 16 (Chatter from Other Bloggers)

I don’t know how you Netflix users do it.

Last night, I stood there staring at my dvd shelves, completely incapable of choosing something to watch. There were titles I loved, titles I’d bought but hadn’t watched yet, even titles I’d been sent by studios in the mail but haven’t played…and yet, I couldn’t make a decision.

I felt like Jeremy Renner standing in the cereal aisle in THE HURT LOCKER.

That was just me with a few hundred titles – like I said, how the hell do you Netflix users ever make a selection when you have thousands of titles to choose from?

Alex has seen one of my favorite docs of the year! Check out her take on BEAUTY IS EMBARASSING.

Many moons ago, I shipped my old dvd copy of Kubrick’s THE KILLING to California. This week, its intended recipient finally gave it a watch, and likewise a glowing review.

Meanwhile down in Gotham, Dor Dotson might have been party to the worst behaved audience to ever gather at a film.

I’ve always loved The Audient’s “Don’t Make a Scene” series. This week I was all the more in love since he dedicated it to one of my favorite films!

Shala Thomas – whose blog turned one year old this week – takes a moment to share what she has learned from the wonderful world of indie film.

Finally, there’s G-Man (whose site has been spruced up!), who wonders about whether there’s such thing as too many movies in a day?

 

For the Tweet of The Week, we head down to San Francisco where one of our favorite classic film lovers plays make-believe…
