mujeres al borde de un ataque de nervios (almodóvar 1988)

still one of the funniest movies ever. the dialogue is superhilarious—in spanish anyway (some things might be lost in translation). and visually, it’s brilliant. pure artifice, in the best possible sense.

ah yes, dunkirk, im overdue with that one. i’ll see who has it and when/if.

true grit was a remake, and it was good, but wasn’t a cultural phenomenon or something. the supers had taken over the discussion already by then.

but before fargo and before pulp fiction there was barton fink, and it did make a big splash. sure it wasn’t the cultural phenomenon that pulp fiction was, but it was widely seen and discussed, and john goodman who was in it was at the time pretty popular in roseanne. so this wasn’t a poverty production. shit, miller’s crossing had quite a stellar cast as well. at least in retrospect. but late 80s still were cranking out plenty of adult-non-porno films so there was money to go around.

x-men: x-men 2 was a lot of fun! but so very long ago. didn’t the director turn out to be a perv or something?
