I dunno. It was probably a good film but I didn’t enjoy watching it.

it's probably because the main character was a huge dweeb, and hard to like, as i recall. "sad bastard bullshit" indeed.
basically the movie is one big joke stretched out to feature length, right?

anyway i saw "the song remains the same" which was in a criterion channel program of live music films (same program featuring "gimme shelter" i saw last week).
it was fucking brilliant. and funny too when it wants to. i had seen clips before but never the complete thing. at 2h17m runtime i thought i'd be bored quickly but nope, watched the whole thing, all the way to the end of the exit music (hah), and it was superentertaining. well done, 1970s! which reminds me... the present sucks at many things.
also thanks to ethan hawke (!?) who curated a program in the criterion channel where i caught charlie chaplin's "limelight." great fucking film! and virtually unknown too. also same 2h17m runtime lol, but again, highly watchable (except for a few ballet scenes, i don't take ballet well).
here is the criterion channel intro by ethan hawke and his interviewer. it's paywalled, but there's a 14d free trial if you dare (and you should dare...)
