Way to go, Ken! I had bad allergies as a kid and had to get shots once a week. At least three times the needle broke off in my leg. I've cringed & cowered at the prospect of any needle since. Your example gives me strength, even tho Oregon won't have a jab for me until June — PolitiTweet.org

Oui! The scenes of the great quarry at Versailles (filmed in 65, I think) looked more convincing to me than anything done with CGI. — PolitiTweet.org

Now that the Criterion app works (knock wood), it's on the 16 hours of Fassbinder's Berlin Alexanderplatz! — PolitiTweet.org

I know he liked the idea of Loach, but his films were a little late for Alex, whose cinematic tastes were firmly lodged in the 50s and 60s. (Except for the films of his niece, every one of which he adored.) — PolitiTweet.org

fashion plate with mommy issues. The film is very compact. In 90 minutes it swiftly moves from the death of Mazarin, the crushing of the Fronde, the rise of Colbert & his new economic system, the mistresses, the building of Versailles & the isolation of the clergy & aristocracy — PolitiTweet.org

the film was a lucious as Alex claimed. In fact, the first thing which struck me was beautiful and lush cinematography of the film. Aside his great film on India, color wasn't something I'd associated with Rossellini. Louis, himself, is somewhat comically presented as a puny... — PolitiTweet.org

Alex's taste in films was not always reliable, since he and his brothers considered themselves lifetime members of the Happy Enders Club. He wasn't one for tragedy on the big screen. The Sun King's fate, of course, was quite different from his nephew, Louis XVI and ... — PolitiTweet.org

After two fruitless weeks, I finally got our not-so-smart TV to synch with the Criterion App and the first film I watched was one that Cockburn repeatedly chided me for not having seen: Rossellini's The Taking of Power of Louis XIV, which he contended was one of the best ever... — PolitiTweet.org

I thought Satanic Verses was almost unreadable: boring, ponderous, and bloated. The Fatwah made it a bestseller, but one which I bet few people finished, as is so often the case. — PolitiTweet.org

You mean the Musee Montmartre? Yes, I went there & then spiraled down the hill past Satie's house, the garrett where Vincent & Theo lived, & Tristan Tzara's modernist house designed by Adolf Loos. It was a hot day & I got trashed on Kronenbourg 1664s at a bistro near the cemetery — PolitiTweet.org
