I always say to myself that I don't care about the Oscars, but I also know I do care enough to be mad if this doesn’t get some recognition. This film keeps growing in my estimation the more I think about it. It’s a beautiful film, but also so fucking sad. The moon sequence makes me tear up. Chazelle's finest work, no doubt in my mind.

Eaten Alive 1976
Part of Hooptober
Film #30 of 30My name is Buck....
A sleazy, deep-fried southern freakshow. Eaten Alive! carries the same signature stamp of TCM with a similar vibe and oppressive, palpable atmosphere, but the insanity is even turned up a notch with more blunt violence and painting its scenes with dream-like lightning and vibrant colors, often an overwhelming red tone.

Citizen Kane 1941
So, I’ve finally seen this hugely influential and essential classic. What can I possibly say? It’s Citizen Kane! But oh yes, it's terrific. It's quite an intimidating fact that Welles starred in, wrote, produced and directed probably the most influential film of all time at an age of 25. Well, I still have a few years to accomplish something like that.

Phantom Thread 2017
Surprise surprise, PTA made the best film of 2017 and one of the best of the decade. No idea how he keeps doing it. What a score by Johnny Greenwood, bravo. Feel like I don't really need to say this, but DDL is scary good in this. Vicky Krieps deserve just as much praise though, she's every bit as good and often stole the show. I took like 3 wrong turns on my way back home, found it really hard to concentrate after that. Absolutely loved it. Instant classic, very chic.
