Representative dialogue:
“Dammit senator, you promised me that these men would be decently treated!” “They were! They were decently fed, and then they were decently shot!”
The bad thing is that Cleastwood didn’t seem to think that was a funny line.
Where did the DVD cover go? Hm.
The Outlaw Josey Wales. Clint Eastwood. 1976.
Well, this was a difficult one. For the first two hours I had problems paying attention to the film — the most exciting thing that seemed to be happening was the she overcooked some potatoes. But then I started paying attention, and the last hour and a half were kinda brilliant. So perhaps the entire film was? Or not? I don’t know. Anyway:
Delphine Seyrig 4 Ever.
Jeanne Dielman. 23, quai du Commerce. 1080 Bruxelles. Chantal Akerman. 1975.
This is not a film from g_monte‘s list of the best movies of 1974. The one I had ordered, The Conversation hasn’t arrived yet, so I had to make a substitution. And this was the only one from 1974 I hadn’t seen yet. And it was better than I expected. But a bit … boring…
It’s Alive. Larry Cohen. 1974.
Another British political comedy that I wish was funnier…
O Lucky Man. Lindsay Anderson. 1973.
I’ve got a man bag made only from felt (and steel and a leather strap (it’s quite 
impractical, since there’s no stitching, so small things just fall out between the steel rivets, but it’s conceptual, I guess)).
I bought it years ago, and (like all woollen things) it’s developed some… er… whatchamacall it… “bumps”? That’s what Google Translate suggests. Why does Norwegian have word for the phenomenon? Is Norway that woolly?
Anyway. Look!
EEK!!!
So I bought an electrical de-bumper the other day. I didn’t think it would work. I mean, does this thing look capable?
But it works! Behold!
Whodathunk.
