The Harder They Fall 2021 Jeymes SamuelBlack Western with a lot of violence. Quite fun using characters who existed at the time. Plus loads of that late 19th century clothing I love.Soundtrack is 70s reggae, 80s and later hip hop etc so maybe a bit anachronistic. Good sounds though.Looks really good too. THough would wish that the main plan could come to fruition since its trying to get a black town to surive when teh territory opens .

Speaking of MoMA's film department, I'm envious of anyone who has access to film series like https://www.moma.org/calendar/film/5600. AFI Silver and the National Gallery of Art get some of the recently restored films that are making rounds, but only if there's time available in between boringly sententious documentaries.

Milford Graves, John Tchicai, Roswell Rudd, and Reggie Workman plus Amiri Baraka who had recorded together in the mid 60s and then were talked into doing a support slot for Sonic Youth in 2000. The latter means that Thurston Moore makes an appearance at a couple of points. I just got Vimeo on my entertainment package that feeds my tv so I can find documentaries etc. Also have youtube which had vanished from teh Virgin package years back. So can get even more. This was great, I had looked up Free jazz o teh search engine and got this returned. Need to see what else I can find.

Re-watched Eastern Promises last night and I feel like there was a little bit more to that movie the last time I saw it? It felt really slight, and kind of handwaved a lot of stuff just to be done in 100 minutes. On the plus side, it was over in 100 minutes.

Blue Jean is like three good movies in one, including a good teacher movie, but I probably won't rate it here when my next 10 come up. I mentioned almost losing my hearing aids on another thread--they're in for repair right now, so no hearing aids + British film meant I caught probably 70% of the dialogue. Not crucial to understanding the film or appreciating the mood, but obviously not ideal.

Saw "Biosphere," pretty much a standard two guys in a room indie, but as far as movies that explore male friendships go, I'm not sure I've seen anything quite like it since "Humpday" (which also starred Mark Duplass, though Sterling K. Brown is great in this as the other guy). Would make a good play, probably, which is what is essentially is, anyway.
