Just finished Jimmy T. Murakami’s When the Wind Blows - a lot going on with this film thematically and narratively but I’m gonna just think about how it juxtaposes live action and animation because that’s significantly less bleak

Watched Christmas Eve (Edward L. Marin, 1947) - immensely befuddling film to me; rather aimless and convoluted at times, and its parts are often greater than its sum, but at the same time wholly self-assured in the (several) wide swings it takes On Paramount+

Watching Méliès’ The Impossible Voyage and I’m wishing that more filmmakers would make sets like this (Wes Anderson is probably the closest contemporary filmmaking has that I can think of at the moment)

Watched A Face in the Crowd today for class; I’ve seen this film every year for the past five years but it’s really hitting right now. Curious to hear what the students think about it when we discuss it next week

Jackass on Criterion means that my years of defending the series as worthy of appraisal and revisitation have been vindicated
