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.

Last night was fantastic!

If you've ever seen Lawrence of Arabia in a theater projected on a 70mm print like I have, you'll understand why it's one of the great ones.

It's been a year and a half since I last purchased anything from those Kino Lorber sales. As always, I might have went overboard this month during their recent sale. A few upgrades and quite a few blind buys.

A curse upon those who were on their phones as well as those who were Robert De Niro Cape Fear laughing at some of the acting. Otherwise, a great time and I wish there were more special screenings like this at the Fargo Theatre.

Another year, another great Fargo Record Fair haul.

Timeline cleanse for anyone who needs it. Late autumn in Minnesota shot in glorious B&W.

Top tier episode AND scene since it's one of the very few times we get to see Angry Columbo. I also think about the "huff and puff on that rotten cigar" quote on a daily basis.

Feels like the personal high I've been on since the beginning of August has come to an end.

Rewatching "The Hot Rock" tonight because I need something that's extremely enjoyable at the moment. George Segal's line "You take failure too hard. I don't mind it so much anymore." is still an all timer.

It's a rainy day and I'm trying to decide what movie to watch this morning before I head to the gym and my job later. Either one of the saddest movies ever made (McCabe & Mrs. Miller) or something starring Robert Redford (leaning towards All the President's Men instead of Jeremiah Johnson now).

One of my favorite episodes from one of my favorite TV series. It's going to be hard revisiting this one.

One of my biggest disappointments in life was not being able to attend this at the Walker because tickets for this sold out right away. youtu.be/FOsThivAniY?...

The Hot Rock was the first movie I watched when all the COVID lockdowns and shutdowns officially began. One of many movies that got me through the first few months of the pandemic. youtu.be/dNu-VtUcFlc?...

Another death this year that really hurts. I first watched Jeremiah Johnson, The Sting and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid during the summer when I turned 13, the same time period when my interest in films really kicked in. I'm not ready for this one.... RIP Robert Redford

My dive into the Robert Altman series on Criterion Channel resulted a rewatch Brewster McCloud last night. I will always gladly go to bat for this one. Among other things, the stuff involving René Auberjonois slowly morphing into a bird during the course of the movie will never not make me laugh

I watched more Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies on Tubi and began diving into the Robert Altman series on Criterion Channel with two first time viewings.

One of my personal goals that I wanted to achieve by the time I turned 40 is officially happening next year. A solo exhibition of my photography.

Very obsessed with these shots from Robert Altman's That Cold Day in the Park (1969).

I'm feeling a bit adventurous and have decided to dedicate this month to watching every movie that's part of the Robert Altman series that's currently streaming on Criterion Channel. Quite a few of these are going to be first time viewings, including what I'm starting off with. Countdown (1967).

Ooo boy! There are A LOT of 35mm film screenings that The Trylon will be featuring during the last few months of the year that I need to make an effort to check out. www.trylon.org

I guess seeing Phoebe Bridgers perform at The Aquarium in Fargo about a year or two before she really blew up in popularity.

Minnie and Moskowitz is currently playing on the Universal Movies channel that's available on Roku and I'm watching part of it before going out tonight. The scene with Gena Rowlands' Minnie believing that "movies are a conspiracy" just hits harder and harder the older I get.

Find a best friend like mine who carved and painted the Hamm's Bear from a slab of concrete for my 40th birthday.

I cannot begin to explain how enormous of an impact Paris, Texas was to me when I watched it some time after I had graduated from college. So many of my photographs have been inspired by Wim Wenders and Robby Müller.

"Why doesn't Johnny care?"

Porky Pig doing an impression of a fish in Robert Clampett's The Sour Puss is nightmare fuel.

I'm making an effort to watch as many new-to-me Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies that are currently available to stream on Tubi. Boy am I obsessed with these shots from the climax of Robert Clampett's The Hendpecked Duck.

It's crazy to me that five different galleries in Minnesota will have my photography on view once Saturday arrives. The day after I turn 40 no less!

RIP to the great Terence Stamp. youtu.be/tJLdaKUBGzo?...

As I said before, it's been a banner year for my photography.

Hard pass.

70: The Conformist 71: McCabe & Mrs. Miller 72: The Godfather 73: Paper Moon 74: The Godfather Part II 75: Jaws 76: Taxi Driver 77: Sorcerer 78: Days of Heaven 79: Apocalypse Now

Meeting this guy at the sketchy hotel I stayed at last night while on my way home after camping out in Glacier National Park for five days is the highlight of the past 24 hours. #caturday

I finally bought a Polaroid camera! You might say that I'm having a lot of fun with it as I make my way to Glacier National Park.

Perhaps I've been indulging myself with too much self retrospection due to my 40th birthday being less than a month away. I will say once again that I'm proud about how many exhibitions that my photography has been featured in this year.

Me and who when I turn 40 next month?
