    This is an astonishingly fine movie.

    Yes, Coop. I have come to think of this as my favorite film. The hugeness of it is just devastating.

    I just read the full NYT review I linked to, and it doesn’t even begin to do this film justice. If you have not seen it, please do.

    This is truly a beautiful film.

    Ok I’ve just put it in my movie queue…

    Folks, I’m watching this movie now. I’ve paused it to let ye know. Oh it is wonderful.

    Oh, Lucy. Yes.

    Christ. Credits rolling.

    Isn’t it astonishing?

    Well it is the kind of movie that you sit around, like a fire. It is the kind of movie that makes you really really care about it, cleaning it with a chamois before you put it into its case carefully. It seems to be incredibly well in tune with my heart and soul tonight, also.

    Thank you so much for the suggestion, Cindy. I’ve been wanting to make some kind of forum somewhere to share Good Movie Suggestions. I watch a lot of movies lately. Sometimes the same one over and over, like Badlands a couple of weekends ago, which I watched for 3 days, pausing and rewinding and playing. I’ve had a good run of good movies lately, and I really want to share that, and get tips about others.

    I feel soothed and stimulated at the same time, you know?

    This is a film I know I will have to watch a number of times, but with space in between at least this and the next viewing.

    Lucy, I know exactly how you feel–you describe it beautifully. Interesting that you mention Badlands, because I was thinking just a week or so ago that I need to watch that film again.

    I’m late to pick up Mia and likely won’t be back to cf until tomorrow. Good night, all.
