Very quick note on film.

I initially wasn’t going to blog this, but decided to throw it up here just for the sake of discussion:

The 2021 list of films added to the National Film Registry.

My quick takes: I like “Stop Making Sense”, and it is a great concert film, but is it of “cultural, historic or aesthetic importance”?

I approve of “Strangers on a Train”, but I haven’t seen that since the days UT had a film program…

“The Long Goodbye”? Seriously? Do not get me started on that one.

I have never seen “Pink Flamingos”, and I’m not really that interested in John Waters films in general. But I’m reminded of Roger Ebert’s review:

Note: I am not giving a star rating to “Pink Flamingos,” because stars simply seem not to apply. It should be considered not as a film but as a fact, or perhaps as an object.
