This Month in Interrupted Viewing: February 2010
I was blazing through movies in the first half of the month, but really dropped the ball over the last two weeks. There wasn’t much that I even started— I just spent most of my time either watching films for work (that will remain a secret until March 31), or reruns of Lost. (I keep blowing my own mind watching old episodes that now make so much more sense in the context of this season!) Anyway:
The Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call-New Orleans 2/12/10
I could barely think of anything else for 24 hours after seeing this for the first time (2/11/10), and like a song that’s stuck in your head, the only way to get it out was to embrace it and take it all in once again. I still can’t stop thinking about it, and I have never looked forward more to a commentary track (pending its existence). April 6 on DVD. Now give me the kibble.
Cosmos by Carl Sagan 2/14/10
One of these days (this blog must contain more utterances of that phrase than any other), I’ll actually finish watching this series. And one of these days (see?) I will start it when I’m not just returning from a night out on the town. And it will make a lot more sense.
Zombie 2/28/10
This somehow crept onto my Netflix queue, and my finger crept onto the play button around 1:00am and then I fell asleep about 20 minutes in. A zombie on a boat in New York City. That’s all I know (and probably need to know).
I also managed to watch 2 festival screeners on 2/21/10, but again, am embargoed. It’s killing me. Be sure and ask for suggestions if you’re in the area late April/early May. Some really great stuff is coming to town.
