This Charming Sir

May 28

This movie is so weird. Even for Herzog. I can’t take it at all. I could only ever watch it again after stockpiling marijuana in the closet.

McClintock’s been underused since the first episode. Granted, I still haven’t seen the latest.

I hate that same thing when it comes to women directors. It doesn’t matter whether there movie was any good, they just thing they got bad reviews because they were women.

I once put a list of my favorite working directors on Tumblr, and somebody wrote back: “No women?” I’m sorry, I thought everyone understood that tokenism was just as bad. Anyway, that was before I saw We Need to Talk About Kevin and instantly became a Lynne Ramsay fan. It’s a great film from a great director.
