The Film Talk: Hold On for Part 27!

  • Gareth Higgins · 1 year ago
    i'm in solidarity with my co-host, having been stuck in an airport for almost 8 hours today...but our mutual commitment to you, dear listener is unparalleled, as you know...so we send good thoughts to mr loe, and perhaps the anticipation of a possibly delayed episode will increase our enjoyment when we finally get to hear it...and just for the sake of telling you this, i've had a busy movie week, with the following on the agenda over the past few days:

    the savages/reign over me/the walker/the hustler on dvd

    wanted, hancock, mamma mia, the edge of love, the visitor and lawrence of arabia (in a gorgeous 70 mm print)

    i thought that two of the dvds were magnificent...one of the films was the most emotionally engaging i've seen this year...and another one of the films manages to continue to be worthy of its vast reputation...

    I for one love the fact that I have no idea where Professor Doctor Gareth Higgins is - he travels internationally while I at the moment seem to be inching my way across the American South.

    In other news it's feeling like the backlog of films we have to review is growing - we can't do more than 1 show a week, and cutting the 'reviews' short to fit several in a show defeats the purpose of an in-depth critique o' cinema show... so I don't know - a quandary.

    Hey Kiley - the sound chip's back up! The show has just been edited this very second - now I've got to drive somewhere to see if I can leech a reliable wi-fi signal!
