Michael Angarano Instagram – recent watches… a lot of odd and wonderful double features. going down filmmaker wormholes -Goodfellas mixed with the first couple eps of The Sopranos. i haven’t watched Sopranos since it came out. it’s a real treat. also watched David Chase’s “Not Fade Away,” i’ve watched Goodfellas dozens of times – whenever it’s on TV i’ll stop and watch at any point – but was so fun to watch uncensored, start to finish. -The Man Who Fell to Earth. worth a watch but felt like homework. -The Party with Peter Sellers and The Anniversary Party with Alan Cummings and Jennifer Jason Leigh. watched the Anniversary Party for the first time, felt like a time capsule. rewatched The Party directly after bc of the title similarities. -Chungking Express and A Bigger Splash. continuing down my Wong Kar Wai film education path. this movie is stunning. Bigger Splash bc we wanted to be in Italy for a couple of hours.
-The Adventures of Baron Munchausen and The Draughtman’s Contract. love Baron Munchausen so much and hadn’t seen in over ten years. i remember watching it for the first time thinking how much i would love to be in a Terry Gilliam movie. Draughtman’s is a little tedious at first, but was happy to be in another world for a while.
-Yourself and Yours and Right Now, Wrong Then. Hang Sang Soo double feature. i hadn’t seen any movies his and can’t recommend more. Right Now, Wrong Then is on amazon, i think. i can’t stop thinking of his movies after i watch them.
-Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back. we watched because we watched the excellent Empire of Dreams doc about the making of the original SW trilogy. we were gonna start with Empire, bc Maya was like the first one is a little hokey. i said, if we’re gonna do it we have to do it right. we were so happy we watched the first. it’s kind of great, in a non hokey way. Empire is another movie entirely. different director, sure. but so dark.
-A Brief History of Time, Let It Be, Empire of Dreams: Making of the Star Wars Trilogy, and of course… The Last Dance. i loved all of these as i love docs. l had a very emotional reaction to The Last Dance. -All That Jazz. last but never least. thoughts/suggestions? | Posted on 18/May/2020 23:27:29
