David: We've lost our dreams. Then theycome back and we don't know what they mean.
A happy 80 to the great Peter Weir today! If you've never seen this strange little apocalyptic fever-dream of a masterpiece go seek it out, it's unforgettable. (It is streaming on Criterion right now, as well as being available on 4K blu -- I should probably replace my Criterion DVD at this point.) Anyway you can't go wrong with watching ANY Peter Weir movie. Just masterpiece after masterpiece. I've said this a half billion times but now but what an underrated genius he is.

Park Chan-wook Is Back To Work!
"... a middle aged, middle class salaryman loses his job after a downsizing, and after spending the following two years downsizing his lifestyle, he decides to overcome competition in his own personal way: chopping down anyone who gets in the way of his path back into fiscal solvency."

The Master (2012)
Peggy: And this is where we are at. At the lowest level. To have to explain ourselves, for what? For what we do, we have to grovel? The only way to defend ourselves is to attack. If we don't do that we will lose every battle that we are engaged in. We will *never* dominate our environment the way we should unless we attack! And the city, city's just noise. I know the city. I know its rotten secrets, its filthy lies and secrets. They... invited us here and welcomed us. Only to throw us down. And kick us out. It's a grim joke.
A happy 50 to the great Amy Adams today! I very much hope that Nightbitch, her upcoming movie with the magnificent Marielle Heller, is Marielle Heller's fourth straight masterpiece. And if it gets Amy her long overdue Oscar that'd be even sweller, although I feel as if the whole "female werewolf movie called Nightbitch" thing might limit its Oscar chances. But crazier things have happened! And we'll know how it's being received in just a couple weeks since it's premiering at TIFF on September 7th. (And then it hits theaters on December 6th.) Tell me in the comments -- What's your favorite Amy Adams performance? (Just don't say Hillbilly Elegy. We're pretending that doesn't exist.)
