Sad at the passing of David Lynch but glad that he left such an interesting collection of films.
I feel lucky to have seen the world premiere of Blue Velvet in Montreal with David Lynch introducing the film. One of my all-time favourite film festival experiences. 🎥
Watching Nathan Silver’s 2024 film Between The Temples. 🎥
Finally watching the 2024 film Conclave directed by Edward Berger. 🎥
Watching the 1934 film Thirty Day Princess directed by Marion Gering on The Criterion Channel. 🎥
Watching Věra Chytilová’s 1966 surreal Czech New Wave masterpiece Daisies again on The Criterion Channel. 🎥
Starting off the new year with that Lubitsch Touch with the 1930 film Monte Carlo on The Criterion Channel. 🎥

In 2024 I logged 373 films with over 70% being first time views. The most popular actors I watched were Shirley MacLaine, Jack Lemon, Margaret Qualley, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Robert Mitchum. 🎥
Every day I try to write at least 750 Words on the site of the same name. It’s been the place where I get most of my writing done and it’s where I write the reviews of all of the films that I watch.
My top albums of 2024 were: Only God Was Above Us, Wall of Eyes, Sunday Morning Put On, The Past is Still Alive, Soft Tissue, She Told Me Where to Go, Cutouts, Yoshime Battles the Pink Robots, Palomino, and Europe. 🎵
