"When you gather with your loved ones this week, be sure to give extra thanks for that turkey or soy-based equivalent on which you’re about to dine. Times are hard, but for most of us, we’re still able to eat. Nevertheless, we need to prepare for the even tougher times that inevitably lay ahead. As countless movies attest, desperate times call for desperate measures at the dinner table. Like cannibalism. The circumstances under which “eat or be eaten” becomes the rule vary widely. Plenty of films have taken on this ancient taboo; in fact, a search for the tag “cannibal” on Spout.com yields eleven pages of results. For your holiday viewing pleasure, I’ve narrowed the list down to ten. Alive

"Note: I’ve seen four notable documentaries over the past two days, all of which are competing here for jury prizes: The Order of Myths, The Recruit, Bigger Stronger Faster, and Stranded: I’ve Come From a Plane That Crashed on the Mountains. In the interest of time and brevity, I’m going to file short posts on each today, but I may revisit a least one or two of these after more thought and possibly additional viewings. ?? Stranded: I’ve Come From a Plane That Crashed on the Mountains Dubbed by festival shorthand “the cannibal plane crash doc,” it’s a 113-minute oral history of the infamous crash of Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571, which was previously dramatized in the 1993 Ethan Hawke film, Alive. The surviving survivors give incredibly articulate, revealing, and comprehensive testimony on their ten weeks on that mountain, some (all?) from the site of the crash, but let’s not kid ourselves: this is a film about hearing (and, more affectingly, watching) people explain what it felt li ...

"A new site, a shiny new blog and a steep learning curve on how to use spout. I'm a bit baffled by some of the moves, it took me a while to suss out how to get films onto some of my lists, but not all of them show up when I want to add something. Why is this? Have I created too many lists? It's a bit daunting because obviously the ones I'm adding at the moment are sub categories, but I can't add them onto the Movies I've Seen. And obviously I've seen them or I wouldn't be listing them. So I thought perhaps they would add in automatically but no luck so far. Still I haven't been here long so maybe I need to look around a bit more.The thought of looking up every movie I've seen is just too daunting, does everyone do that? Yikes alive. Also it's a bit odd to add someone to my contacts list without actually asking them in an invite. I guess the best way forward with that would be to message them first? And it's not very easy to see how to joi ... "
