    Mr. Scorsese, I will give you every cent in my bank account for the raw footage of the full concert. I don't need the talking heads or anything like that. I just really need to see the full performance of "Don't Do It" and "Life is a Carnival" and "This Wheel's on Fire" and the suite "Out of the Blue" because I need to see Robbie singing it to believe it and the concert version of "The Weight" did any…

  • The Lady Vanishes

    ★★★★

    Very convenient for the culprits that most of the Englishmen care more about their affairs and cricket matches than a woman's life. Very inconvenient for the culprits that Michael Redgrave really wants to get laid.

    ★★★

    liked it more in theory than in practice unfortunately. the thriller and heist elements often come off as contrived (or, worse, are cut away from to thrust us into a flashback right as things are getting interesting). also found the performances and dialogue to be frustratingly uneven. ah well.
