Long plane ride to Tokyo..

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny - had decided previously to skip out on seeing it in the theater. I really, really wanted to like this. I didn't. It was marginally less bad than the previous Indiana Jones film.

Touch - picked this as nothing else looked interesting. Film is partially in Icelandic, Japanese, and English. Interesting story and characters, though a slow, wistful romance film isn't typically my jam.

.. I wanted to like it more, but it just seemed very middling. All beautifully filmed and slow and considered, but just felt like it was the sum of many films I’d seen before. Dunno if this is a recalcitrant middle aged thing, but fuck it’s hard to find a film that hits my sweet spot these days!

Any film tips to get me thru Xmas please share - character driven, no bullshit, good story telling

(i have resisted the urge to use the term ‘old fashioned’)
Try Red Rooms, maybe...but then again I really liked Janet Planet, so fair warning.

Fuck. Fuck . Fuck. What the fuck. You put modern music in this shit? The fuck is wrong with you?
You know this is the most unrepentantly closeted director of all time, Baz Luhrmann, right? Moulin Rouge with Lady Marmalade, Romeo and Juliet with the Cardigans. The most HORRIBLE movies ever made, basically.

Lots of Nirvana, Prince, and New Order in Queer. Odd choices.

Moulin Rouge is the business.

Lay it on me!
He did road movies in the eighties that are hyped but I felt were ok. Instead I really loved Perfect Days (same sensibility as Paris, Texas).
Also, Salt of the Earth, a documentary about a Brazilian photographer who basically saw the world and then restored a nature reserve was mesmerising.
I can't get enough of Perfect Days. I've watched it three times in three months and would watch it again right now, if I could.
