Blown away. But why?
Yeah it was quite the blow. The Manor wasn't anything fancy, but it was a big part of my teenage years, a place I went with the newfound freedom brought by driving, and a place where my love of movies flourished. I saw more than 120 movies there and it was always special, even if the movie sucked. So many of my favorite memories are tied to that place. I hope with all my heart this new place becomes a reality.

Took you guys long enough. Also Scar and I are friends on Facebook after all. Duke why did you think I was on the West Coast? I just got tired of the old account so I pm-ed Ezee and got him to approve a new one. I figured that the location title and sig (both Bauhaus song lyrics) plus the Apocalypse Now avatar and username were pretty good hints.
I'm not sure if I will finish my backlog thread. Maybe.

I'll turn to a friend
Someone that understands
And sees through the master plan
But everybody's gone
And I've been here for too long
To face this on my own
Well, I guess this is growing up
That sounds cool. I hope it works out.

Honestly, the first avatar you used with your new account was the biggest red flag. I believe it was the Driver one that you had sported previously. Then a mention of Iowa, and then it was a quick mental comparison of posting styles.
“What we are dealing with here is a perfect engine, er... an eating machine. It's really a miracle of evolution. All this machine does is swim and eat and make little sharks and that's all.”
I dumped the Driver one because it's not very big. This isn't my burner this is my official account. The old one is closed. Dead for good.

Look at Judegey McPantsworth over here...
Well, either the west coast or mountain time. When I wake up and logon to MC in the morning, you have a history of posting in multiple threads between 1-3am my time. So when I click on NEW POSTS, all i see is MadMan responses. And that's what I woke up to yesterday only it was DFA.
I did; it was shot where I live! I know the director and a lot of my actor friends and crew friends worked on it, too. It's got its flaws but I really enjoyed it.

Well I do work nights, but I get off work at 10 pm these days. Certain folks at The Bronze forum have called me the forum vampire, which I always thought was hilarious.

"Home is where the pants aren't."
I think I read that on a bumper sticker.
There's still loads I have to marinate over regarding The Turin Horse, but despite it plodding along toward the end, the two main characters’ monotonous isolation feels so haunting, and the film’s depiction of an apocalyptic landscape made me think about the state of our world so often, that I had to take more breaks throughout this than I did for Sátántangó, and this is 1/3rd of the latter film’s runtime. What’s sadder and more ominous than being alone in times of despair is living through said times of despair in a strained relationship with the only companion one has. Tarr knows that silence is the scariest sound in the world, and it’s employed with chilling, melancholy results in what was his final film.
Also, the old man and his daughter sitting to look out the window, longing for the wind/dust storm to end reminded me of the times I've gone to sit at my balcony, where I've often thought about the past since the pandemic started. The parallel was quite frightening.

Holy shit, great to see you!
Hahah awesome! According to Criticker I've seen 3498 of 'em.
Black Narcissus -
This movie is far, far ahead of its time and no wonder it's one of Scorsese's most influential movies.
It's grand in scope, displays a strong conflict of faith, and the artistic approach to flashbacks...
Wow! Just a bummer it took me so long to come to this one!
Black Narcissus has been creeping up my queue for years and years. Now that it's finally made its way close to the top, of course I scroll past it on HBO Max. Didn't know it was a huge influence on Scorsese.
Hiya Qrazy, welcome back. I was once MadMan.
