recommendation crazy
I have been caught in a flood of recommendations recently.
movies my aunt janet recommended to me:
- Caught
- The Narrow Margin
- T-Man (or T-Men?)
- Raw Deal (1940s)
- Phantom Lady
- The Big Clock
- The Man on the Eiffel Tower
- I Wake Up Screaming
- This Gun For Hire
I get the feeling that she was just listing every film noir she remembered. This is the kind of list I will wait for backup on. This Gun For Hire I had heard about before, so it's now on my queue.
anton recommends (in general I think):
- Jan Švankmajer (director), Faust and Conspirators of Pleasure (two of his movies)
- Andrei Tarkovsky (director), Stalker and Solaris (two of his movies)
- MI-5 (brit tv show, seasons 1 and 2)
- The Avengers (with Diana Rigg, 1965-1967)
I kind of split this in half and put Faust and Solaris on my queue. Everything else is waiting until my list of things to see is a little shorter.
I'm putting a hold on all recommedations until further notice. If you've recommeded anything cultural to me in the past six months, you are on especial hold: I just can't keep up. Now it's my turn to make a few unexplained recommedations (though, to be fair, I'm really really curious about Solaris right now, because talking about the shooting style piqued my interest). I'm not doing links here, go out and find them your goddamn selves. I'd send you home with just some half-legible notes in your little notebook, if I could.
- Firefly (tv show)
- Some Like it Hot (movie)
- Double Indemnity (movie)
- The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (movie)
- Lockpick Pornography (book)
- Starship Troopers (book)
- Tomatoes, by Stephen Dobyns (poem)
- The Kossoy Sisters (specifically, their album Bowling Green, it's music)
