"danny says" - the life and times of danny fields
ramones, iggy, v.u., nico, doors, alice., etc.
Did anyone see the Iggy Pop and Jim Jarmusch on Stooges Doc 'Gimme Danger'

Finally got around to seeing this...what a great film
and such a sad tale, but glad that the ashtons and James Williamson got a nice coda before dying
and iggy is still standing...

Two thumbs up from us on that one. Iggy is the man.

On a side note, I found Jarmusch's Paterson to be pretty boring. Movies about nice people are boring, I guess. My wife fell asleep during that one.

I loved both the Jarmusch films in question. Got a really cool poster for Gimme Danger when it played at the Byrd Theatre in Richmond.

Paterson  was the closest Jarmusch has come to Stranger than Paradise,  technique wise, especially in regard to the pacing, relationship of the lead male/female characters and use of blackouts between scenes....  Loved the dog!

Brennsers had a lot of plane time recently so heres what I've watched recently - some of these have been around for a while but I don't get out to the movies much these days

Spotlight - A - fabulous treatment on a wrenching topic
Moonlight - B - v surprised this won an Oscar - last third was baffling
Life, Animated - A - delightful documentary about an autistic kid who learned to communicate via Disney movies
Manchester by the Sea - A- - Amazing performance by Casey Affleck
Hidden Figures - A- - great, inspiring, fun movie
Arrival - B- - sort of didn't really go anywhere
Amy - A- - very good, super sad portrayal of her downward spiral and her skeevy exploitative Dad

WOW

very cool.  let's hope they don't butcher it...
agreed
man my kids hated it...made me turn it off after 20 mins
I think if they'd gotten through the first part they might have liked it more,
but Skeksis dinner

and these guys showing up

gave them nightmares for weeks

I used to rent the shit out of that film from the library, when I was a kid.  ah, the good ole days when we rented movies from the library.  3 to 5 at a time, if I was lucky.

didn't you borrow them?

my kids love the library... the oldest walks out with at least 10 books each time and reads them all
and they get dvd's there as the play room just has DVD player

Yes, borrow.  Interesting. I didn't think people even still went to the library except to use free internet access, anymore.
