L'Avventura - 7.5/10
I told myself I would stick to watching movies I had never seen before, but I didn't like this at all on my first viewing about ten years ago, and wanted to give it another chance. Maybe a "Redemption Movie-Viewing Tour"? I gave the subsequent three movies an 8/10... It's been a while, but it seems like "Red Desert" was shot in the same spot at times, only colorized. TCM had "L'Eclisse" on, and I might just see the trilogy again, especially because I am a fan of Mastroianni (just never cared for Moreau). Ironically, Monica Vitti has a pretty face (which I can't say for a majority of the movies) but I didn't like her character/acting.. It's the same old bullshit between men/women. Nature’s joke on men is sex, and nature’s joke on women is love. And because of this stupid game, he knows if he expresses too much, the supply/demand of sex will not be in his favor, much like a man loses interest in a woman after bedding her. A very good story line - not a common one.
La Notte
I would recommend watching the French movie, "The Rules of the Game", "La Dolce Vita" (Marcello is in both), "L'Aventura", and then this. I saw the first 30 minutes a few days ago, and finished it this morning. When I first watched it, I gave it an 8/10 (I think) on this thread (I think). I think I just completed this movie also to see the next movie (L'Eclisse, and then Red Desert, if I make it)
And like many things on YouTube, the movie is free. Stop wasting your money when YouTube is better. Sometimes you just have to search the original title in another language which you can find on IMDB.The so-called third part of the so-called trilogy (some say "Red Desert" is the 4th part) is "L'Eclisse" which WAS my favorite, but I didn't care for it when I saw it yesterday. I must admit I rolled multiple joints, hoping it would improve, especially since there's a lot of nothing going on, or a lot of childish actions/dialogue.. I could't even get started on "Red Desert" despite giving it a 7.5/10 years ago.... Oh well. I actually told myself I'd stop watching movies I have already seen before, but it was on TCM.
FREE on YouTube (the best place; not sure why so many pay for shitty movies) -

I do believe the CIA killed JFK and the government has admitted enough and released enough public information to make me believe.
Don't watch oliver stone. He ruined The Doors (1990) and JFK (1991) by making ridiculous claims (CIA admitted they intentionally put out the most ludicrous conspiracies to The Church Committee) and distorting the truth knowing the power of Hollywood. I've traveled all over the world, staying in backpacking hostels and the Couchsurfing community, and music and movies is always a topic. Yet, as educated as many are, they fall for the Hollywood bullshit, and the powers know the strong first impression it puts, especially video, which appeals to the most senses.
People refer to that piece of shit movie as the truth, but when I ask "How do you know" or "Where did you hear THAT from?" they can't remember, but it's tattooed in their head. BUT, if you show them a great 25-minute interview of clairvoyance and intelligence (and busting the myth), most won't touch it. I would be happy to show you all the statistics, and how most people quit by the 30-second mark.. Instant gratification.
Jim Morrison and Mort Sahl Interviewed by Tony Thomas (Music, etc etc)
And this is the real Jim Garrison, not Kevin Costner.. Garrison was a colorful, witty, brave guy, while Costner was boring white bread, and nothing like the real guy.

I only like my home team, now that the NBA is a 3-pt shoot-out.. I miss an offense like the Kings of 2002 for example, or the defensive minded, ball-sharing Pistons. But, it's nice to know that whatever happens during the day, or what's going to happen, or the next day, that I have something to look forward to at night (and in the morning, since I usually save the 2nd half for the next morning)..
Will GS make a big trade is the question? If they aren't going to pay Draymond, they'd rather get something, than let him walk away for nothing. But again, I try to watch the games, and end up FFing to the last 2 minutes, and even during the Bulls-Hawks that went to OT, I kinda space out, even last second shots.. But I'll always watch - it's my soap opera, I guess.

In the 90s, when I was still under age, I started ledzeppelinbootlegs.com and it's how I was able to move out of the house by 19, lol.. with my dual VCR.
Anyway, YouTube ended that, although I still see that there's some shows (other bands) that aren't on YouTube, so I like to set up these Listening Parties, where there's a Livestream chat, and as long as there's people coming, I'll do them.
Are you a collector? Do you know of any great sites? I'm always searching for more, and they are out there, and it takes a long time for a little, but once its public, there's more truth out there, and hopefully it corrects some of the bullshit 3rd hand information that gets thrown around these books that do nothing but take quotes, editorialize, take another quote, add some latest news to make it "modern" and then sell it to fans, who'll buy anything because we're fans... I especially love collecting interviews from the past, especially those in the arts who did social commentary, or were just damn good at what they did.. Which reminds me, I need to find all my Zep interviews. There's a 45 min long Bonham one, I'll just paste it.

A bit of OT is OK after OTT. Danny Carey threw in a short one at least in the latest tout from TOOL. Could have been a lot longer for me at least.
I'm actually a drummer, and oddly enough, it's not the most exciting part of a Soundboard concert on YouTube... I do look at disparities - how far they stray from the way it is on record, and if their jam is done show after show, or focusing on the set-list, to see how much is new vs. the old. Not to go too off-topic, but I was just having this conversation with my brother, about set-lists, and how boring it is constantly hearing the hits, and how there's plenty of non-hits that still have appeal at a concert. Upbeat, just not played on the radio for whatever reason. But, the minute the band says, "We're gonna play some songs of our new album", so many went to stand in line to use the restroom, or get food, to get a drink, to smoke, and I did this at a Rush concert when I was alone at about 19. But, there's always a first time for everything, and even the biggest hits would be played months or years before they were ever released. Working it out live, getting feedback from the audience, changing it up sometimes, Like this show, "Here's one that's going to be on our next song, 'Kashmir', so it can't be that bad".
It's been years since I stopped collecting Zeppelin boots, and it's too bad there isn't much video footage outside of official releases (especially the DVDs). I do have many VHS tapes, but I had some water damage, and I'm not in the mood to see what is and what will never be.

Brought up here already but the comment during OTT 28.4. 1977 was, This sucks!. Haha.
I had always wondered if the average audience was that different compared today, a ~20 min drum solo 😂, and they are all cool about it.
Well, the answer lies at about 2.05.03 exact

Thanks for posting. I definitely heard a lot of compliments. Specifically heard, "Awesome"... I can't remember the last time I saw a drum solo at a concert, though.

These are amazing! I ran across this on google looking for Zeppelin interviews. I love these above ^^^
I plan on listening to some concerts and will try to come back to this... I just finished, "Zeppelin on Zeppelin", a chronological log of interviews (also with author notes before/after interview) which I would HIGHLY recommend... Then I spent a ton of time listening to all the interviews. Here's one I enjoyed, and there's one with Plant/Jones from 1979 and it's great to hear things right when they happened. I also recommend this "In Through The Out Door" documentary, especially part 6, where they really go into "Carouselambra"

It's great to hear things when it happened, and considering when.
JJ Jackson seemed to be one of the few Zeppelin-forever guys, and a guy that Led Zeppelin respected, since they couldn't stand the press (who does?).... Anyway, great interview, talks about "In Through The Out Door" of course, but I won't spoil it... Enjoy!

The only ones I've seen from your list. So many great directors and films. Hitchcock, Kurosawa, Welles, Coppola, Kubrick, Ford, Wilder, David Lean, Clint Eastwood, etc. I think Tarantino's best was 'Inglourious Basterds.' (never can spell inglourious right).
Kurosawa is probably my 11th favorite, and I love about 3-4 from Billy Wilder. Did you ever see "Ace in the Hole" w/ Kirk Douglas?

Buffalo 66 was a great film and Ricci gave an incredible performance. Vincent Gallo on the other hand is a total self-absorbed asshole. How one could go from Buffalo 66 to Brown Bunny speaks volumes about Gallo.
I believe humor is subjective to culture, most English will prefer English humor to American. Latins' LOVE telenovello & lucha libre. Indians love that goofy, Bollywood type humor.
Vincent Gallo was great in it. Also directed, wrote, music, quite a feat... But "The Brown Bunny" sucked (except for the music)
-
From the beginning until the present. For me, it's the US and Italy. I'd also say that most of the funny movies were made before 1980, with a few exceptions, such as "Buffalo '66".

I've seen all of them, and liked the first two especially.... You might like "Advise and Consent" - a little similar to "Seven Days in May", but its been a while since I've seen either one of them.
