In Caliente

1935

Watched

So what I only watched the musical numbers? 

The yodeler lady is all-time funny, but in the cringe subcategory. I mean that in a nice way, I like what she’s doing. 

Last dance sequence was spectacular.

Footlight Parade

1933

The last few numbers were worth the wait that was the movie 

The little scamp from the honeymoon hotel is officially spooky

Drowning by Numbers

1988

★★ Watched

Some of the most marvelous frames in my cinematic memory… but somehow no humanity or soul in this one. Overly indulgent in its “intelligence”, this flick hopes to be some sort of satire, but of what I have no idea. Women like to drown fat men with little penises? 

Side note: Wes Anderson ripped this cinematographic style. Evident. And that’s okay. Wessy also seems to have ripped the “devoid of light, devoid of human soul” element too… but I know those Wes fans out there would disagree.

Barry Lyndon

1975

wowweee that was fun. 

I was surprisingly engaged at every second. I didn’t expect to be, in fact, I expected something to bore me… and my hunch was welcomingly wrong.
