Somehow dvds always got this right. I have no idea this aspect of the technology has gotten worse.

More importantly, happy birthday bud.

One of my fondest and earliest cinematic memories was seeing that at the Mann Chinese Theatre in 70mm when I was 8. I remember my dad making a big deal about the 70mm thing and explaining the larger format to me. Also, the boobs certainly made an impression.

Eleanor can’t bear to look.

Good mail day with arrivals from @diabolikdvd.bsky.social. So many essential pinky titles being quietly released by Discotek, who seems to specialize in anime.

Lots of great Halloween decorations in my area but this one spoke to me.

IF I HAD LEGS I’D KICK YOU is one of the best films of the year. See it if you get a chance.

Happy Birthday bud.

Lou Reed in recording booth listening to METAL MACHINE MUSIC, Bob Ludwig turns to him “You’ve done it Reed. You’ve cracked it wide open.”

I checked last week to see what was holding over for another week but most of those disappeared after the weekend, I guess.

I really wish some of the half dozen or so must-catch art house films release over the last three weeks would had been spread out during August and September. Looks like I may miss THE MASTERMIND, IF I HAD LEGS and BLUE MOON because I was busy with work and attended a film festival.

You doing any AFI, Swen?

I was resistant to the new Geese album at first but now I’m totally sold. Great album.

Jason Overbeck @bentclouds.bsky.social · 12d

I am! Just got a ticket for that. Didn’t realize it was happening.

This feels pretty comprehensive but I kind of wish I’d made room for Talk Talk, Slowdive and Solange because I think those are all pretty crucial artists for me that expand my genres a bit more.

Jason Overbeck @bentclouds.bsky.social · 17d

Define our musical taste in 8 artists:

Television
Joanna Newsom
Thelonious Monk
Curtis Mayfield
Jay Reatard
Patrick Cowley
Can
A Tribe Called Quest

Eric Henderson @ephender.bsky.social · 17d

Define our musical taste in 8 artists:

Stevie Wonder
Erykah Badu
Björk
Laurie Anderson
Kerri Chandler
Louis Cole
Ken Nordine
Prince

I excluded Prokofiev and Ravel for ... well, no good reason really. Stuck with individual artists also; sorry, EW&F, KING and Masters at Work.

Darren Hughes @longpauses.bsky.social · 17d

Define your musical taste in 8 artists.

Steve Reich
Gang of Four
Little Feat
Bill Evans
Tool
Aretha Franklin
Wye Oak
Abul Mogard

I thought about this for as long as it took to type, with maybe a slight pause before Wye Oak because pop-adjacent woman singer/songwriter is a big category of my taste.

Really happy that it’s doing well. I’m certainly playing the hell out of it.

Looks like I have a private IPIC screening of A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE tonight.

Jason Overbeck @bentclouds.bsky.social · 20d

Actually I’d be interested in seeing this. It could help me. I don’t do fast food much anymore but it would be nice to get more protein when I do…

Jason Overbeck @bentclouds.bsky.social · 20d

Doctor wants me to get 160 grams of protein a day so I add Naked Whey to my coffee in the morning and have a Premier Protein shake for lunch. Neither seem to be on the lead list, so hopefully I’m getting all the protein and none of the leads.

Brewers team all accidentally washed their jerseys with something yellow.

Jason Overbeck @bentclouds.bsky.social · 24d

I remember watching A PERSONAL JOURNEY WITH MARTIN SCORSESE THROUGH AMERICAN MOVIES in the late 90s and looking for films mentioned in it. Very hard at the time to find BIGGER THAN LIFE, THE TALL T, MURDER BY CONTRACT, THE FURIES, I WALKED WITH A ZOMBIE, SILVER LODE, SWEET SMELL OF SUCCESS, etc.
