Sinister: Godard, Seberg, BBR
Greetings, fair ones- First off, to all you poor, ignorant people who are sniping at Black Box Recorder (sometimes without ever even hearing them, and always without understanding them) I say: I would give you a severe spanking if it weren't for the fact that you would probably enjoy it, and in fact your anti-BBR effusions were probably just a ploy to receive said paddling. The more YOU hate them, the more WE love them. This is to Tom Newth in particular and everyone in general: I am also SO glad to see the infernally iconoclastic Jean-Luc Godard is being resurrected on the list (although I can't stand the thought of the far inferior Quentin being mentioned in the same breath). My fave Godards in order: 1. My Life to Live 2. Contempt 3. Masculin/Feminin (for some reason, this strikes me as the most B&S-like, don't ask why just see the movie) 4. Pierrot Le Fou 5. Alphaville 6. Breathless 8. Two or Three Things I Know About Her ...and I believe those are the ones I've seen. Please, everybody, write in with YOUR favorites (and I'm only half joking about that). I am currently working on a book about underappreciated '60s actresses, including Anna Karina (in most of the films above, married to Godard at the time), Liv Ullman, Bibi Andersson, Gena Rowlands, AND Jean Seberg. There is a movie called "From the Journals of Jean Seberg" available on video, it's quite interesting even for non-Godard/Seberg fans. It's a feminist take on Seberg's bumpy career, with Seberg played by Mary Beth Hurt. It features Hurt as Seberg after her death, looking back with wise hindsight at all her ups and downs and how terribly unfair the world was to her. Highly recommended.
