Make Mine Music (1946)
[#160 in 100 Films in a Year 2020]

Plus...

David Lynch Cooks Quinoa (2007)
[#159a in 100 Films in a Year 2020]

"Shia LaBeouf" Live
[Watch it (again) on YouTube]

Both of these are counted as short films on this list on Letterboxd, but I'd argue the Shia LaBeouf one is actually a comedy skit and/or music video. The Lynch one is originally a DVD special feature, but I'm gonna let it count, as much as anything with the purpose of writing about the weirdness of that list on 100 Films.

Jonathan Creek
2x06 Mother Redcap [season finale; 2nd or so watch]
Regarding my ongoing dilemma about how many times I've seen these episodes, the more of the series I watch, the more I suspect I had the first series on VHS and watched it more than once, but only saw the second series onwards when it aired. (Not that this matters to anyone besides me and my weird completism for counting rewatches!)

this week on 100 Films

Just 1 new review on 100 Films in a Year this week, but it was a big one...


Hamilton (2020)

it doesn’t feel like a mere stopgap until they film it ‘properly’, nor a “that’ll do” stand-in for a real theatrical performance, but instead like a legitimate experience in its own right. Hamilton is a masterpiece, and getting to see it performed by the original cast in its original staging via a film so carefully and lovingly crafted is an absolute thrill.

It was also the start of a new month, so there was my usual review of the old one...

this week on 100 Films

5 new reviews were published to 100 Films in a Year this week...


Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga (2020)

Sporadically funny; often dated; with tired and rehashed routines; longer than Alexander Lemtov’s penis; and surprisingly emotional at the end… Actually, maybe The Story of Fire Saga is like Eurovision after all.
