Modern Jazz

A taste here and there is nice. I like checking in on Domi and Beck occasionally but I'm not sweating their release schedule, I'll put it that way.

Old movies you've only seen recently...
I forgot Fast Times almost as quickly as it took to watch, but I guess it was more of a previous generation's quotable - I never heard anybody say any of the "classic" lines from it till I started working with people slightly older than myself.
"Play Misty" is great for Clint playing what in real life would only ever be described as a turbonerd - a jazz radio DJ who reads spoken word/poetry over his shows? C'mon son - but is treated like the ultimate sex object. I know she's meant to be unhealthily obsessed but I'm sure ol' Clint thought this Carmel jazz guy was a sex god. He certainly played him that way. His house in this was cool as hell though.

Jeanne Dielman I couldn't hang with and I have certainly had the patience for some extremely deliberate movies. It's one of those movies where the rave reviews all treat it like medicine, not entertainment or fun, so you have to accept that as what it is. The slowness is necessary to what Akerman was achieving, but it also feels like achieving something unpleasant in the viewer (boredom? desperation?) isn't a great way to make your artistic statement. I dunno though, some people claim they can stay fascinated for the whole duration.
In contrast Stalker is visually so incredible that the Russian pace does not bother me.
Haven't had much time though I've got a lot in my queue. Hopefully an upcoming holiday will give me a chance to catch up.
But I did see "Love Meetings" - I don't know Pasolini's movies at all really, and this one didn't seem like strong meat like some of his stuff. He just goes around Italy in 1964 asking people in the street about their sexual mores and world views. It has funny moments but also makes some big points in an easy way - what being a conformist says about someone, for example: "the stubborn certainty of those who are insecure". Lots of scenes of men crowding the camera, no women to be seen. Divorce might be legal in Italy now but a lot of the accepted views that seem ancient in the movie have just translated to similarly nonsensical societal mores today.

getting a lot of requests from my 2 year old for 'twinkle twinkle little star' and 'wind the bobbin up'. realized i don't know many kids songs, and know precisely zero of the gestures/actions you're supposed to do to them. that's my music life at the moment... oh yeah and this:
