"This is the third feature length film I've seen by director Jacques Tati. I chose to watch this film based on previous good ratings I've given other films by this director and to better my favorite directors by algorithm listing. Play Time Play Time was originally filmed and shown in 70 mm film. Everywhere I read about this film says it must be seen in this format to be truly appreciated. So while I didn't have that opportunity, I tried to keep that in mind when watching it on my standard sized television set on standard DVD format. This was Tati's master endeavor and he put so much time and money into it, it bankrupt him. But we can enjoy the results of his sacrifice. He was bankrupt because he created entire massive sets. An entire city basically. And

"This week on The Media Diet, we check in with Andrew Grant and Aaron Hillis. Grant is the brain behind Filmbrain; Hillis is a freelance critic and reporter whose work can be found at Premiere, The Village Voice and his personal blog, Cinephiliac. Together, they’ve just launched Benten Films, a boutique DVD distribution company aimed at drawing attention to “overlooked gems that deserve greater recognition.” Benten’s first release, Joe Swanberg’s LOL, will hit stores on August 28 (more on that closer to the date). They’re also planning to release two films by Aaron Katz, Dance Party USA and Quiet City, sometime after both screen at The New Talkies festival in New York, which begins next week. SPOUT: We start each installment of The Media Diet with the old desert island question: you’re packing your suitcase for life-long seclusion "

"FRIDAY EVENING: SEVERANCE - don't like horror/slasher movies so this was not fun. i can appreciate that it was clever and funny (i was laughing when i wasn't cringing) but it was not for me. i'm sure it will be very popular! Laura Harris (Daisy from Dead Like Me) was fun to watch and made it tolerable. SATURDAY MORNING: A TRIBUTE TO WALTER MURCH - liked this a lot. only tribute we made it to. after some clips there was an on-stage interview and although technical it was really fascinating. highlights for me were when he talked about how he redid Touch of Evil using Orson Welles' notes and how he edited the Godfather movies. great storytelling and behind the scenes info. could have listened for another hour. SATURDAY AFTERNOON: THE SENTIMENTAL BLOKE - one of my absolute favorites. i love silent films and this rare one from Australia i'd never heard of. very charming, with live original music from an Australian composer. Telluride is known for it's "hidden tr ... "
