The main time I don't mind it is with animation.

So, the dubbing in Fitzcarraldo is par for the course but grated on practically every body else TSorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12208153011927807857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-52173441903858130352012-03-16T11:50:15.456-05:002012-03-16T11:50:15.456-05:00Hmm.

The movie feels in a way firmly related to the rivers it takes place on--it is perhaps serene on the surface, but it is similarly always rushing forward and always implacable.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-13055699043635185752012-03-16T10:06:14.376-05:002012-03-16T10:06:14.376-05:00I had high expectations for Fitzcarraldo based on ...I had high expectations for Fitzcarraldo based on praise from all corners, and while I admired the ambition and technical efforts gone into the making, I just found the pacing of the film tedious,(which was probably intended to feel like a slow builing up of suspense), and I commited the cardinal cinephile sin of fast-forwarding over much of the film. <br />Perhaps I'm a tough cookie to please, who knows!Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395044055566348346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-6982906204459507202012-03-14T09:04:40.475-05:002012-03-14T09:04:40.475-05:00In a lot of ways, it feels like this movie was des...In a lot of ways, it feels like this movie was designed specifically for Kinski--but a lot of his characters seemed to be fueled by an insane obsession.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-77009736356327770282012-03-14T07:32:17.812-05:002012-03-14T07:32:17.812-05:00"Kinski never so much looked like he was acti..."Kinski never so much looked like he was acting, but like he was channeling the character he was set to play.

Of course, if none of the expiring movies are in my queue I won't notice it happening other times.<br /><br />I go out each Sunday to see what new DVDs are available and I try to remember to check my Instant queue for expiring movies, which is how I happened to notice them.<br /><br />I've seen Alphaville, Bob le Flambeur and The Servant so far. I'm off to see Wild Reeds soon.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-70659263914656535772012-03-11T22:24:41.974-05:002012-03-11T22:24:41.974-05:00Thanks for the heads up.

I think both of those are still available on Hulu+, but I check the instant queue at least twice a week for the same reason.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-15798082040206929662012-03-11T22:12:54.904-05:002012-03-11T22:12:54.904-05:00This comment isn't about your post. Sorry. I...This comment isn't about your post. Sorry. I wanted to give you a heads up on Netflix Instant. Bob le Flambeur and Wild Reeds are disappearing from Instant viewing on March 15th. <br /><br />I put all the streaming-available films from the 1,001 list that I haven't seen (around 80) into my Instant queue. I noticed today that four of mine are expiring - the two above, plus Alphaville and The Servant, which you've seen according to your list.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.com
