I've never had a cat so invested in watching films at such a young age! As soon as we turn on the projector, Jarvis is on my lap watching everything from bleak Finnish films to French new wave to 50s black and white Japanese films. He likes them all!
So, it was no surprise to me to come across this gem of the actual Jarvis Cocker, lead singer from Pulp, in the Criterion Closet talking about his favorite film picks:

I tend to avoid most social media (aside from Flickr obviously) in terms of brain drain but I do also log all of the films I watch and I always note if the film has a cat in it or not, which I find is often an overlooked aspect of film watching and critique these days.

I FINALLY received my Essential Fellini set & The Irishman blu rays (both Criterion) today, which I had been looking forward to for ages. Just a few shots I took & put together.
I haven't seen Variety Lights or Intervista, so I look forward to those.
The picture on the top right corner was taken at the Grand Hotel in Rimini too, which is where I stay when I go there.

Here is my latest contribution for Criterion Collection. H.G. WELLS' THINGS TO COME from 1936. Check out this gem as it is amazing and visionary! The movie show the London Blitz years before the war even started. I feel so honored to be part of this release. Let's keep fingers crossed for a poster release..
For more lagniappe, click on the album with that title below. (To access the “lagniappe” album on your iPhone, click on the information icon at the bottom of this screen; then, when your next screen appears, scroll down just a bit, and you'll see that "album.")
And, now for something completely different.
This is a frame of a 4k shot taken off a Mike Leigh movie about Gilbert & Sullivan called Topsy Turvy (Criterion Collection version).
It was taken with my new Panasonic Lumix ZS100, purchased used on EBay with my $600 stimulus check.
BTW, the actor portraying Mr. William S. Gilbert is Jim Broadbent.

I had a tight deadline to get these covers done so I couldn't really labor over them like I wish I could. But here's my best effort using screen captures a Criterion template and roughly 30 minutes per cover.

The concept is an individually wrapped bar of soap. This works on a couple of levels. Most obviously (if you’re familiar with the film), is the character of Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt) makes and sells high-end soaps. Soap was featured heavily throughout the marketing and promotion of the movie. Wrapping the soap up, like those found in hotels, speaks to the “single-serving” lifestyle of the Narrator (Edward Norton). You can then even read the wrapper as the Narrator, Tyler Durden hiding just underneath the surface. Splashes of blood hit at the chaos about to unfold.
This is something I’ve been toying around with, in my head, since I was in college. I saw another class’s assignment to redesign one of their favorite DVDs and I knew exactly what I would do: Fight Club! I never got that particular assignment, but the idea stuck with me. I found a little bit of time here and there to finally get this design out of my head! I hope you like; I truly had tons of fun working on this little pet project and I’m super stoked at how it turned out!

Got a package in the mail today from @m1ss_jess. Although one of my all time favorite films, I never could bring myself to drop the money on the Blu-ray. She picked it up at a thrift store recently and didn’t love it, so I traded her some Batman Returns playing cards. In my opinion, one of the most underrated and overlooked movies ever made. Made in 1986, yet feels timeless. Way ahead of its time. If you haven’t seen it, do yourself a favor and remedy that immediately. It’s so uniquely its own. I couldn’t put the film into a specific genre, so I can best describe it as a “romantic slice of life comedy thriller”. Staring a babyfaced Jeff Daniels, Melanie Griffith and Ray Liotta. Guest appearance by John Waters, and directed by Silence of the Lambs director, Jonathan Demme. With a great soundtrack, including an opening credits song by David Byrne. A PERFECT summer film. Pop some corn, grab some freeze pops and enjoy it. #somethingwild #jeffdaniels #melaniegriffith #rayliotta #jonathandemme #silenceofthelambs #criterioncollection #1986 #summer #summermovies #halloween #davidbyrne #talkingheads

Director Robert Siodmak’s The Killers sounds like it would be the perfect film noir and has had a reputation as one of the best of the film noir oeuvre, but it falls far short of its stellar reputation. Based on a short story by Ernest Hemingway, the film tells the story of a contract hit on the Swede (Burt Lancaster) and the investigation that follows. The Swede’s life was insured, and insurance investigator Jim Reardon (Edmond O’Brien) is there to make sure the claim is legitimate before they pay it off, but his investigation leads him to seek out why and by whom the Swede was murdered. The investigation leads through the Swede’s stunted boxing career and his ultimate involvement in a payroll heist.
The film shows promise, opening strongly with sharp gritty dialogue, superbly expressionistic lighting in an excellent roadside diner setting, tough, sleazy, amoral hit men, and a defeated character in the Swede that you just want to know more about. The problem with the film is the story afterwards with insurance investigator Jim Reardon. The film just makes too much of a stretch with this character, as he goes far beyond his duties, and the connections he makes are very slight with so many holes that it is implausible he would reach the conclusions that he does. Also, he is given far too many liberties by the cops, as he rushes with them into a house with his gun drawn while bullets whizz by. Did they forget he’s not a cop? He is also not very interesting to watch, yet we have to see the story unfold through his eyes, which is a real drag.
The film’s strengths are its cinematography by Elwood Bredell, which is wonderfully stark, as well as Ava Gardner’s sexy performance as Kitty Collins, the woman the Swede falls for and who eventually leads him to his downfall. Her allure and sultriness make for a one of a kind femme fatale, and it is easy to see how she can manipulate the Swede or anyone else she wants. It is a shame she does not have a bigger role in the film. The character of the Swede is also underused, and we never really get a sense of who the Swede really was. The role seems more memorable as Lancaster’s debut rather than for the character. This film is certainly watchable and interesting as an example of film noir, but don’t let its reputation raise your expectations too high.
