Andre the Giant has a posse. William Shatner has a DVD club. The movies listed do not suck, and I know they had Ginger Snaps earlier, so um $4 a DVD! Sure.
S. and W. are here, which means it’s time to kick off my film club down at the Coolidge. I’m gonna try and run about once a month; it needs to be a weekday night, because it’s hard to get the screening room on weekends. Optimal nights for me are Wednesday and Thursday; if you have a preference, express it now.
So the question arises: what’s a good kickoff movie? Imma break it down into some categories, and y’all tell me where your yearnings lead you. Or suggest something else.
A non-exhaustive list of things I might do: Hong Kong action, 80s or 90s, maybe John Woo, maybe Johnny To. Classic drama: Noir? Gangsters? Asian art house — Wong Kar Wai, or something from Korea, or Thailand. J-horror. Yakuza flicks — either Takashi Miike’s transgressive stuff, or maybe something from Kinji Fukasaku’s portfolio. I have a slew of old comedies and I’ll be tempted to throw a Buster Keaton short in no matter what.
Thoughts?
Holidays, New England style:
- MLK Day — nothing special
- President’s Day — nothing special
- Patriot’s Day — the Boston Marathon & Red Sox
- Easter — nothing special
- Memorial Day — spend five hours driving to the Cape
- July 4th — Boston Pops on the Esplanade
- Labor Day — spend five hours driving to the Cape
- Halloween — Salem
- Thanksgiving — Plimouth Plantation
- Christmas — Christmas Revels
- New Year’s Eve — First Night
That’s all the cheese I can think of off the top of my head. What’s missing?

I’m not generally prone to this kind of thing, but…
Oh, this will have no meaning unless you’re playing the same MMORPGs as me. Also, it is one big giant image.
Speaking of District B13, here’s the trailer.
Let’s take a quick trip back to my criteria for Bush’s success, shall we? He already missed the 2004 Iraqi election goal by a slim margin. And now it looks like Iran may get nukes. Having enriched uranium doesn’t count, but that does put Iran closer to the Bomb than they were in 2004.
Still no new draft!
