schamspeare<p>This guy is such a clown. I’ve always thought so. Contrary, but contrary in a predictable, reactionary way that just reveals he has no real taste.</p><p>He can stare into the camera and proclaim Godard’s King Lear the greatest film of all time, and not even smirk.</p><p>Look, I think the film is interesting too, but just say that it’s underrated and you think there’s a lot in it.

Jilliterate<p>2025's Criterion Challenge is going pretty well so far (ALL THAT MONEY CAN BUY; SWEET SMELL OF SUCCESS; BIRTH; WALKER). Today's challenge was a bit of a conundrum: "Your first pick in the Criterion Closet," but the challenge requires unseen films. I chanced PAPER MOON (1973; dir. Peter Bogdanovich). It was a good gamble; I'm 3/3 on Bogdanovich films now.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/film" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>film</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/movies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>movies</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/cinema" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cinema</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/CineMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CineMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/Criterion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Criterion</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/CriterionChallenge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CriterionChallenge</span></a></p>

BobDevney<p>I'm mesmerized by the Criterion Closet videos, wherein actors or directors are set loose to exclaim over their favorites — in that magic little room stacked floor to ceiling with the world's most notable films, on Blu-ray or DVD. This episode from 2015, though, with Wallace Shawn and Andre Gregory of the sublime "My Dinner With Andre," features weirdly low-energy lighting &amp; discussion. Which last may be explained by Shawn's final words here:</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjMy2RSgBAo" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=xjMy2RSgBA</span><span class="invisible">o</span></a></p><p><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/Movies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Movies</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/Films" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Films</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/Criterion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Criterion</span></a></p>
