In case you didn’t notice it on Monday, the feedback question for the next Matineecast is making the rounds:

What’s on your movie-going bucket list? A festival you want to attend…a theatre you want to visit…a special screening you’d like to be party to… Do tell before I record episode sixty-eight tomorrow night!

The schedule around here is still a bit out-of-sorts, but there’s a reason for that which will be revealed tomorrow morning. In a way, it’s not such a bad thing that the regular schedule has been thrown off, as harvesting some links on a Wednesday allows me a chance to finally share the love after almost three weeks since my last go-round.

So as to be expected, there’s still a wee bit of TIFF talk below, but as September turns to October, that will become a more and more distant memory.

In the meantime, for your listening and reading fulfillment, I give you…

 

It’s September, and wouldn’t you know it, Tank and Fogs are going back to school.

So it turns out not everybody loves CLOUD ATLAS. Take a look at Kurt’s dismissal – might make for a good primer for my discussion with him on tomorrow night’s Row Three Cinecast.

Then there’s GMan who joined Lindsay and I for a screening of THE MASTER at TIFF and is one-up on me i n that he was able to actually write a review of it already.

At Inspired Ground, Andina takes a look at the wonderful styles featured in MIDNIGHT IN PARIS.

Five years ago, The AFI re-jigged their Top 100. Dan Heaton took a look at the revised list and put together his post of the top five revisions to the list.

Mettel Ray has started scratching essential films off her to-watch list, and this week she got to one I truly dig: Ridley Scott’s BLADE RUNNER.

I didn’t see much of Sam Fragoso around TIFF, primarily because he and I were running in different loops. Not long after he left, he started wonder about the trustworthiness of film critics.

Over at Reel Insight, Rachel recently rewatched INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS (which she adores), but seems to have come across a fly in the ointment.

I’m launching a movement to talk Jessica into attending TIFF 2013. Drop her a note and tell her she should jump on it. In the meantime, she has sparked a great discussion about the etiquette surrounding the trailer reel.

Alex Kittle is at it again. How my apartment isn’t covered in her artwork by now, I’ll never know.

The Tweet of The Week this week isn’t about 140 characters of pure wit, but it is a sight of pure movie-geek bliss. Look behind the dvd my new friend Dor is holding up, tell me what you notice about how her movie collection is organized:

Enjoy!

  2. Ha! I actually went through a short phase of organising my DVD collection by colour, back when I only had maybe 50-100 titles rather than well over 1,000.

    As for my movie-going bucket list:

    I’m desperate to see Once Upon a Time in the West on the big screen, a high quality true print of course, although an awesome 4K remaster would probably suffice.

    I get over to Cannes fairly regularly now, but I’d love to see some of the other big festivals. Sundance would be great and all you guys over in Canada make me very jealous when TIFF is in town.

    I’d love to see something at Mann’s Chinese Theatre too, just to say I’d done it.

    1. I saw that tweet and was jumping up and down thinking “I must do this!”. However, my wife threw cold water on it pointing out that most of my collection is made up of black spines.

      Listen for your bucket list included on the next Matineecast on Monday!

  3. My movie-going bucket list has two major items:

    1) See 2001: A Space Odyssey on the big screen.
    2) Attend a major festival. Maybe TIFF is in the cards for next year?

    A smaller dream of mine is to catch a midnight screening of They Live, which I will be eagerly doing next month. Between that and RoboCop, the Music Box knows how to win over my heart.

  4. My movie-going bucket list number one would be to attend a great film festival. There was one great international festival in my country but unfortunately they were low on fund so not available anymore. But there are mini film festivals that look great to attend.

    I would love to go to screenings again, not much to attend these days though.

    Seems like you’re having a great time at TIFF with other bloggers though it seems super busy, yes?

    Thanks for the link love! Appreciate it.

    1. You’re most welcome for the linkage! I’m not sure if you listen to my show or not, but I’ll be sure to mention your bucket list wish on Episode 68 which posts on Monday.

  5. Moviegoing Bucket List:

    -There is an annual outdoor screening of “Last of the Mohicans” in the mountains of North Carolina where it was filmed that I would love some day to attend.

    -“To Have and Have Not” on the big screen. Anytime, anywhere. If I could just once hear Bogey & Bacall’s repartee echoing throughout a theater…..oh, heaven help me.

  6. TIFF is definitely on my bucket list. While I admittedly never have considered attending either of the big Swedish festivals (Stockholm and Gothenburg), I would love to go to Canada, not as much for the films as for the opportunity to meet you and a bunch of other bloggers. You seem to have had a blast there. And of course I’m interested in all the activities around the films, such as Q&As with attending directors.

    I’m flattered by your little campaign, though to be honest I think it will be a little bit hard to make the dream come true. There are so many obstacles to overcome, where the hardest one obviously is persuading my family that I should spend all that money and vacation on something that is just for me. But by all means, go on with the movmement!

    Thank you also for the link love. Much appreciated!

    1. I realize that of course. The good news is that if you ever planned any sort of Canadian adventure that was noweher near TIFF-time, I’m sure many of the locals would gather to meet you, drink, watch something, and argue (the latter three are sorta “what we do”).

    1. You’re most welcome! I got the biggest smile yesterday when Paola dropped by our place with a giftwrapped copy of one of your prints. You’re slowly but surely taking over!

  9. If I were at home (with my other 400+ dvd cases) I would reorganize my collection NOW. However with my smaller collection now (after moving) it makes little sense.

    Thanks for the link, and I’m glad that you admit me to have defeated you, as I do… check the site in another hour btw.

    1. The defeat was only temporary. I’ll be watching it again this afternoon, writing about it for tomorrow and podcasting about it for Monday. I believe that gives me the a victory for the three game series.
