Name that film

You all must hate Suzy Amis because no one guessed last week's film, in fact, no one sent in an entry at all. The film still was from The Ballad of Little Jo, which is a great underrated western, you'll dig it even if you don't like westerns, I promise.

Here's this week's film still:

You may not have been there, but unfortunately for me I was

We saw this last night
and I could not believe how much I hated it. There was so much great buzz surrounding this film that I was looking forward to seeing it. And then as it played out in front of me I wanted to slap the shit out of Todd Haynes for writing and directing it and I wanted to kneecap the studio exec who gave this turkey the green light.

This movie is interminably long and incredibly pretentious. I was begging for the end credits to roll and I nearly cried with happiness when they finally did. All the actors have done and or will do better work elsewhere and Todd Haynes is capable of better, and he's capable of worse too because he did after all make another film, Velvet Goldmine, that got good press but which I hated. Maybe I missed something, maybe I'm too stupid to get the symbolism, or maybe I just hated this movie. Yeah that's it. I just hated this flick.

In other movie news Edmonton's own Captain Karen won the latest Name That Film contest! However since I just sent her a vintage postcard with a zen proverb on it, she is not eligible to get another one so soon. So what I did was I found the address of a woman who has the same name as Captain Karen in a state that borders Canada and I sent her the vintage postcard with a zen proverb on it.

And here's this week's film still in the ongoing Name That Film contest:

Name that film!

No one correctly guessed that the last 'Name that film!' movie was Blood Wedding. Perhaps the choice of a Spanish flamenco film was a bit of an esoteric way to start off my running contest, so to correct that here's a film still from a more popular film.
