Just saw Scaramouche (1952). An 18th century revenge tale about a man who plays a clown in a theater troupe by day as he plots to kill a heartless aristocrat by night to avenge the death of his best friend and foster brother.

The film feels very ahead of its time both visually and in terms of writing. This is probably because it blends elements of several different genres, which seems to have confused the critics of its day. It's essentially a swashbuckler but with a lot of time dedicated to political drama and comedy. It's also very risque for its time. As incongruent as this sounds, it actually balances these aspects rather well. The biggest weakness in the story is the ending, which feels somewhat underwhelming after everything building up to it and the final plot twist is more than a little hard to swallow. That being said, I don't think it detracts from the film too much.

The characters, even the side ones, are fairly strong and memorable and the acting is quite good as well. A few of the actors even act more like French actors than American ones. The villain is especially great. The only one of the main cast who feels like a typical Hollywood actor from the 50's is Janet Leigh but she's still adequate in her role.

The visuals, like I said, are ahead of their time. Only by a about a decade or so though; it certainly doesn't look modern. The most famous thing about this movie is the 5-minute long swordfight at the end. Despite its length, that fight scene is able to maintain a high level of excitement and tension throughout which is quite a feat since you know the hero is going to win in the end. There are many other swordfights in the movie too and they're all used pretty intelligently to serve the plot. What's nice about the fight scenes is that there's very little music in them and the silence helps tremendously.

Overall, I give Scaramouche an 8/10.

The character isn't really a manic pixie dream girl. She's like a 12 year old girl's idea of a cool biker chick. The film starts with her riding around on her motorcycle, looking at various statues of lions and pumping her fist. She carries a pocket knife that she always opens by pulling the blade out with her teeth. She goes around stealing things and cutting the eyes out of posters for no reason. There's a scene where she wakes up in the morning and does these autistic martial arts poses while yelling.
I can't find any videos of it on YouTube or else I'd post it.

I was interested in seeing this one for a while, but I decided to actually watch it once David Lynch was dead. I thought it was perfectly watchable and did a good job exposing Transcendental Meditation for an uninformed person like me but would have preferred less time spent on the director's personal life.

I've always been interested in the 1929 version, but it seems hard to find in decent quality. The 1939 one is considered better, but having not seen either one I can't say if that's correct.

NEW YORK (AP) - Harvey Weinstein is due back in court Wednesday as a judge is set to decide when the disgraced movie mogul's #MeToo retrial will start and whether it will include an allegation involving a woman who wasn't in the original case.

Weinstein, 72, wants the extra charge thrown out, arguing through lawyers that Manhattan prosecutors only brought it to bolster their case with a third accuser after New York's highest court overturned his 2020 conviction on rape and sexual assault charges involving two women.

Judge Curtis Farber is expected to rule on that and other matters, including the trial date - a task that's been complicated by an increasingly crowded court calendar.

Weinstein's lawyer, Arthur Aidala, is representing conservative strategist Steve Bannon in a border wall fraud trial that's set to start March 4 before a different Manhattan judge. Meanwhile, Farber has a murder trial in March.

Before Bannon's trial date was set last week, Aidala had suggested that Weinstein's trial go first in "the interest of humanity," citing the ex-studio boss' declining health.

Weinstein is being treated for numerous medical conditions, including chronic myeloid leukemia and diabetes.

"They know that Mr. Weinstein is dying of cancer and is an innocent man right now in the state of New York," Aidala argued in court last week. He pleaded to prosecutors: "Can I try this dying man's case first?"

Weinstein is being retried on charges that he forcibly performed oral sex on a movie and TV production assistant in 2006 and raped an aspiring actor in 2013. The additional charge, filed last September, alleges he forced oral sex on a different woman at a Manhattan hotel in 2006.

I love old sitcoms. They're so comfy when they don't get political anyway. They're the perfect shows to watch just before you go to sleep. The canned laughter is weird when you think about it, but I'm used to it by now.
What are your favorites? Mine, in chronological order:
>The Honeymoonders
>The Andy Griffith Show
>The Dick van Dyke Show
>The Mary Tyler Moore Show
>Taxi
>Cheers
>Seinfeld

It holds up very well. It's not just gag after gag. The episodes are actual stories instead of just a series of gags, and the characters have a bit more dimension to them than most sitcoms of the time. Much better than I Love Lucy imo.

Pray For Us Saint Michiruko, martyr for the Sharty

Tone 4
O righteous warrior of the digital forum,
Who didst expose the wickedness of the janitors,
Thou didst cry out in truth, yet wast reviled and cast out.
Bearing mockery for the sake of the just,
Thou didst pray even for the pooners and trooners,
O Michiruko, martyr for the Sharty,
Intercede for us who strive against the Feds,
That we may not be banned unjustly,
But may receive the eternal meme of victory!


Kontakion of Saint Michiruko, Martyr for the Sharty
