My Week in Movies: January 5 - 11
Jan. 12th, 2020 12:07 pmI should also be using this space to, like, update people on my life. The whole point behind doing these weekly lists was to get back in the habit of doing some form of journaling.
So I may have failed to mention this, but![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
sol_se is moving out to Los Angeles in April (or sooner, if she gets a job sooner). I'm super excited! I miss her every day she's not with me. Soon there will be daily cuddles! DAILY.
I went todiannelamerc's birthday party yesterday. There was a mobile kitty cafe, where one could cuddle kittens! What a great birthday idea. Kudos to lizbetann for setting it all up.
This week's list is super short because I fell back down the Grey's Anatomy rabbit hole (don't judge mejmtorres). I'm midway through rewatching Season 3. Ostensibly this was for clipping purposes, but that kind of fell by the wayside when my whole vid concept fell apart. I remain retired from vidding.
Movies in italics I've seen before.
God Told Me To (1976)
C.H.U.D. (1984) w/sol_se
Diary of a Chambermaid (1964)
I watched God Told Me To because it was on Criterion Channel and I wanted to see if it was still as weird as I remembered. Yes and no. It's definitely not as good as I used to think it was, although it's still decent.
C.H.U.D. is a serviceable monster movie that's better than most of what sol_se and I watch together on Saturdays. It was a little bogged down by a surplus of characters. Great glowing eye effects, though.
Criterion Channel is doing a Luis Buñuel retrospective, so I watched Diary of a Chambermaid. I don't know what to make of it. I get the impression that the source material is a lot more salacious. There's a subplot where a fascist character gets away with a pretty heinous crime and I'm not sure what the point is. Is it anti-fascist like Buñuel tends to be? Or is it just a depressing reminder that fascism tends to bully its way past consequences? I am not sure.
