Reading books, listening to, and collecting LPs. The last decade have been dominated by film. When DVD:s became cheaper, so did I! Now I'm an adult misfit.

Nuri Bilge Ceylan: ONCE UPON A TIME IN ANATOLIA (2011)
150 minutes really SLOW-MOVING in the best way possible.
What a TERRIFIC Turkish film
Sydney Pollack: THEY SHOOT HORSES, DON'T THEY (1969) A depression-era marathon dance. Have never seen Jane Fonda better. She's FEROCIOUS!
Andrew Lau: INFERNAL AFFAIRS (2002) and INFERNAL AFFAIRS II (2003). Both surprisingly good.
Related to THE GODFATHER trilogy & THE DEPARTED

Stevens & Chambers are GREAT!
Listening to the recently bought LP album ANTHEMS IN EDEN (Harvest SHVL 754 UK 1969) by Shirley & Dolly Collins. Incredibly beautiful!

Spirits of the Dead (1968) – Malle, Fellini & Vadim execute their respective segments with solidity, tortured razzle-dazzle & shamelessness
Nicholas Ray: BIGGER THAN LIFE (1956) James Mason, Barbara Rush, Walter Matthau. Comparable to Douglas Sirk.
DISTORTED and truly EXCELLENT!
Bill Forsyth: THAT SINKING FEELING (1979) Glaswegian low budget, low brow comedy, more subversive than expected. Made me feel happy!

QUIRKY WONDERFUL, certainly QUIXOTIC!
George A Romero: KNIGHTRIDERS (1981) Medieval anachronistic Knights jousting on motorcycles and CAMELOT IS A STATE OF MIND.
GRANDIOSE!
