Generally I find his movies to have less hits than misses — lots of flat out retarded humor. Certain sections of a lot of his movies crack me up but the other parts leave me wondering why Woody didn’t keep some of that stupid crap up in his head. My top 5 are really the only movies I like of his. Though he does remain one of my favorite directors because I like Annie Hall and Manhattan so much. I forgive him for all the nonsense because I really love that son of a bitch.
Christina I read your list and remembered I’ve seen Vicky Christina Barcelona. I agree that it is mediocre. The women are hot and the narrator is dull and I’m incredibly random.
It’s a great film directed by Billy Wilder. It won four academy awards including best picture. But it ain’t on this sight and it’s bugging the shit out of me for some reason. I like it better than another good alcohol addiction movie ‘Days of Wine and Roses.’ Anybody else seen and like this movie too? I especially like the eerie soundtrack.
Sometimes I love rude people because they provide me a pleasant opportunity to act rudely back. They momentarily fulfill my constantly frustrated desire to be an asshole. And I also feel justified in my rudeness and can sleep soundly. You know, like the empty dick with a clear conscience.
I like the hard-bop and cool jazz styles the best.
Brubeck and Coltrane are my favorite group leaders.
My favorite Drummer is definitely Elvin Jones.
My all time favorite albums in no particular order are:
Shoes of the Fisherman’s Wife by Charles Mingus
A Love Supreme by John Coltrane
Time Out by Dave Brubeck
The Dave Brubeck Quartet live At Carnegie Hall
Miles Smiles
Kind of Blue by Miles Davis
Giant Steps by John Coltrane
Clifford Brown with Strings
Juju by Wayne Shorter
The music of Charles Mingus often reminds me of witnessing all the actions within a bustling city all at once. Especially on the albums Shoes of the Fisherman’s Wife and The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady. I don’t want to say it’s organized chaos, but ‘busy intricate beauty,’ maybe? It’s all so god damn intense for sure though.

By ‘busy intricate beauty,’ I think I meant I get like images of that dense intricacy within the social interaction of a city as a whole. Jazzaloha I’ll check out Dave Holland. The slow parts in Mode, D, E, F on The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady definitely remind me of a traffic jam. Especially since the parts slowly speed up like cars on the highway upon a clearing in rush hour traffic.
I think I know what you mean about the locomotive influence, but I haven’t heard of M-Base. Boogie Woogie piano playing was based off of that train sound wasn’t it?
P.S. Sorry about the same post twice earlier. It may be a subconscious need for attention acting out…LOL.
I do like Day’s of Wine and Roses quite a bit. I always want to taste peanut brittle after I see the movie. lol. Both films are stylistically distinguished. The scene in Days of Wine and Roses where Jack Lemmon is in a straight jacket seemed over the top to me.
Peeping Tom, I think The Lost Weekend is my favorite Billy Wilder Film as well.
What other good films that Ray Milland is in would you all recommend?

Love this quote
Love the women he casts in his pictures
Love the way he moves
Love The Gold Rush, City Lights, Modern Times, The Circus, Mutual Comedies
Favorite scenes = In The Gold Rush when he makes a mess of the cabin spreading feathers everywhere
= In Modern Times in the department store when he is blindfolded and roller skating
So glad this forum has already been started. Glad to see many share my reaction. Yeah WTF is with MUBI? The Auteurs was a cool name with some mysterious appeal. This MUBI shit sounds like the name a kindergartner gives his/her imaginary friend. I heard maybe it got changed because lots of people didn’t know what ‘auteur’ meant. Quite honestly neither did I. But since I had the internet and Google and a keyboard I typed ‘def: auteur,’ and found the fuck out.

Yeah I thought it was really average and I like it less now that it’s been widely overrated. There were cool moments.
Philosophically reckless.

polanski arrested again about 2 years ago
I think Polanski is a douche, but that he made a couple great films, a couple so so films, and several bad films.
“Unfortunately for Polanski, but fortunately for the rest of humanity, there isn’t a country in the world where the age of consent is 13. "
- Protest MUBI, Go ToplessI totally agree man.
