When Wiseman was here in Fargo seven years ago for a screening of Titicut Follies, a person during the Q&A portion asked in a bit of a rude way why they have to pay at least $20 in order to stream the documentaries. Wiseman's response: Unlike my other fellow filmmakers, I want to eat.

For the past five-six months, someone has been writing anti-Trump messages with street chalk on the side of a garage that's a few blocks away from my house. I've been meaning to photograph all the different messages. I finally found time yesterday to photograph the latest one.

I suppose my "In this world there's two kinds of people" at this moment in time is going to be those who love Harold and Maude (myself included) and those who don't. Anyways, I watched Harold and Maude for the first time in years and am a wreck again.

RIP Bud Cort

I cannot recommend HENRY FONDA FOR PRESIDENT highly enough. Watch it while you can. www.lecinemaclub.com/now-showing/...

Post a tree you photographed

My man William Powell in his first scene in High Pressure (1932).

Definitely going to remember this line that Edward G. Robinson says in Five Star Final for the rest of my life: "God gives us heartache and the devil gives us whiskey."

Back on my bullshit. Watching a bunch of Pre-Code movies thanks to Criterion Channel's Mervyn LeRoy series.

Would gladly list 20. Heck, even 25, 50 or 100 if somebody asks me to. But if it's just 10: The Searchers The Wild Bunch High Noon Unforgiven Once Upon a Time in the West McCabe & Mrs. Miller The Good, the Bad and the Ugly The Naked Spur Johnny Guitar Man of the West

Does not surprise me on who was the director of that garbage Xfinity Super Bowl commercial.

I will never forget the moment 20 years ago when one person who was in the same Film Appreciation course with me saying to someone else "Well that was another two hours of my life wasted." I refuse to name the movie that caused that moron to say that.

Stayed in last night and watched a bunch of SCTV videos on YouTube involving Catherine O'Hara. This is still one of my all time favorites from. SCTV "You think it's not scary to get depressed?" youtu.be/GMVrMHQk95s?...

I've been struggling mentally with what's been going on down in the Twin Cities. My mother's side of the family and many of my friends live down there. Finding out that someone I knew growing up was friends with Alex Pretti isn't helping me.

Delroy Lindo for Sinners is the Oscar nomination that put the biggest smile on my face.

Last year, I purchased two Polaroid cameras. I cannot begin to tell how much it's helped me keep productive with my photography. Especially the Polaroid camera that can shoot B&W instant film.

Hell yeah!!!!

Since I deleted my Twitter account last week, my brother (who really should finally delete his account) has kept me on the loop on some of the movie related prompts. Yesterday, someone asked what is Clint Eastwood's most woke movie and his least woke movie. Would love to see those replies.

Time to sign up for a different gym where senior citizens won't act passive aggressively when I turn Fox News off on the TV in the locker room.

Today is the day that I finally deleted my Twitter account.

2016: Moonlight 2006: Children of Men 1996: Fargo 1986: Blue Velvet 1976: Taxi Driver 1966: Persona 1956: The Searchers 1946: The Best Years of Our Lives 1936: Modern Times 1926: So This is Paris

I now own a piece of the Fargo Theatre. Or should I say two pieces of the Fargo Theatre. Two of the balcony seats that have been there since the 1930s.

As over the moon I am about MARTY SUPREME, I'm always going to remember somebody posting this clip on Twitter back when UNCUT GEMS was released and saying this is what it's like watching a movie by the Safdies. www.youtube.com/watch?v=28v6...

A few personal highlights from this difficult year: -My photography being accepted into nine different exhibitions -Running the half marathon portion of the Fargo Marathon -Visiting Glacier National Park -The weekend of my 40th birthday -Rilo Kiley at the Palace Theatre

What should be the final movie that I watch in 2025? The Shining or When Harry Met Sally?

I don't want to be that guy but this worries me.

"Why? Why was I programmed to feel pain?"

Foe those of you who need it this holiday season, Flicker Alley has the new restoration of the Laurel & Hardy short Big Business available to view on YouTube. youtu.be/RBJYPZfOwwI?...

Very tempted to make a thread involving all the scenes in Casino that received the biggest laughs from the audience at the screening I attended this morning/afternoon.

Casino in 35mm, baby!!!

Oooo boy. I might be doing a day trip to Minneapolis on Sunday just to see a 35mm screening of Casino.

Same vibes.

It's been a couple years since it's happened but there's COVID outbreak at work. Glad that I got the booster shot this time around. I'm not taking any chances this time around.

Sone good news today.

Mel Brooks having to bury Rob Reiner is against all laws of nature and I’m not ok about it

RIP Rob Reiner....I can't help but realize that MeTV aired the Edith's Crisis in Faith episodes tonight. This scene has always been an all-timer is so emotionally draining more than ever now.... www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGM7...

Fuuuuuuuuuck......

Someone picking The Hired Hand for this did my heart good.

Adding Howard Hawks' The Criminal Code to the list of favorite new-to-me movies of the year. It naturally made me want to revisit Peter Bogdanovich's Targets. Maybe later today. youtu.be/De2hVv3dQCs?...

Hell yeah!

Well....it's finally snowing here in Minnesota. Perhaps today is a good day to get back into Noirvember by watching a Hawaiian-set noir. Also, if somebody had told me that Elsa Lanchester plays a cabbie in this one, I would have watched this sooner.

Same desperation to be funny and win over people.

It's the 30th anniversary of Casino. This was the first Martin Scorsese movie that I ever watched. It's also the one Scorsese movie that I've rewatched the most times. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEXd...

A stone cold masterpiece.

I really hope that the weather is cooperative next month so I can make the drive down to the Twin Cities in order to attend this. www.trylon.org/film/casino-...

Happy 80th Birthday to one of the great ones. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8Ti...

Four favorite new-to-me movies that I watched this year.

*Ron Howard voice* They're all surreal.

Not to brag but I'm pretty happy with how my pumpkin turned out.
