i do. after multiple viewings, i still regard it as scorsese's best effort in a long time. one of the few movies of last year that made me genuinely giddy to be a film lover. i don't think it presents cinema as being simply a diversion, either. melies was working on a highly artistic level at his time. his work could never be classified with terms such as "diversion" or "escapism." especially in the way those terms are used for today's films. sure, scorsese is more upfront about his love for filmmaking here, but why is that bad? his filmmaking still has so much energy and joy. you can tell he's getting a kick out of writing his love letter to melies, and cinema itself. the film doesn't strive for subtly. scorsese wants you to get excited and enthusiastic about movies. it works for me.

shit's a masterpiece! Really hope I get a chance to see it in 3d again one of these days.
this seems like as good a place as any to post this epic interview with Robert Richarson

THANK YOU FOR THAT INTERVIEW!
That was amazing. I'm gonna spend the next few days just listening to this podcast, which I had never heard of before. The discussion part of the show is not all that great from what I've heard so far (they just gush about how great they think everything is), but they've got some great guests that I'm excited to hear from and the interview parts are pretty in-depth and interesting.
