Antoine Doinel box set from Citerion.

WhoooHooo!!!
Those who say that the totalitarian state of the Soviet Union was not "real" Marxism also cannot admit that one simple feature of Marxism makes totalitarianism necessary:  the rejection of civil society. Since civil society is the sphere of private activity, its abolition and replacement by political society means that nothing private remains. That is already the essence of totalitarianism; and the moralistic practice of the trendy Left, which regards everything as political and sometimes reveals its hostility to free speech, does nothing to contradict this implication.

When those who hated capital and consumption (and Jews) in the 20th century murdered some hundred million people, and the poster children for the struggle against international capitalism and America are now fanatical Islamic terrorists, this puts recent enthusiasts in an awkward position. Most of them are too dense and shameless to appreciate it, and far too many are taken in by the moralistic and paternalistic rhetoric of the Left.

i finally saw 'bowling for columbine' tonight.  i know, i'm late, and maybe you've already seen this, or heard many, many people talk about it.  but it was terrific.  love to see someone else other than the government doing a little propoganda work.  if they can do it, why not us.
also, 'bruce almighty' is coming out soon; never seen it; i'm a little afraid that it will be bad.  but if you're interested...

I dunno man, but here are some great DVD's I saw in like the last month and busted a nut over...

Some great classics from WB were recently released:
They Drive By Night: Raoul Walsh, man.
Yankee Doodle Dandy: Cagney dancing? oh yeah/
Treasure of the Sierra Madre: Dark Bogey.
Dark Passage: Darker Bogey.

All these should give you an appreciation of old fashioned Hollywood stories, but here are some cool fucking movies I think you should really check out...

Barfly: Such great writing (BUKOWSKI!) and moments of originality and plus Mickey Rourke gives one of the greatest performances of all time. Good, good, good time. It's a movie impossible to watch only once, you'll be drawn to it like fly to shit.
The King of Marving Gardens/Five Easy Pieces: nice double-header of character development oriented flicks.
Rumble Fish
One-Eyed Jacks
Bottle Rocket
Bob le Flambour: Especially if you are a fan of Hard Eight.
The Pope of Greenwhich Village: chemistry betw. Rourke and Eric Roberts is on point.
check out the Indiana Jones movies, if you haven't already.
And lastly, I'll leave you with the BRD trilogy from Fassbinder (The Marriage of Maria Barun, Lola, Veronika Voss). Criterion put it out a few months ago and the three films are really inspiring (helped me start writing my screenplay) if you want more, just ring.
