Happy New Movie Year!<\/p>\n
Again I kept a letterboxd list<\/a> of all the must-see movies released in 2021, though I’ve removed a few because my definition of “released” keeps changing. <\/p>\n I did not make a list of streaming concerts and such, but enjoyed watching Clipping, Deerhoof, Mary Timony, Decemberists, Waxahatchee, Jon Langford, and everyone at Gonerfest.<\/p>\n Trying to prioritize watching the new releases I think I’ll like, and the older ones I keep telling myself I need to watch – and that sounds like an obvious and stupid statement, but in past years whenever I’ve chosen titles I simply must watch next, there is no way in hell I’m gonna be watching those next.<\/p>\n I want to see more classic experimental stuff, so I’ve started going through Amos Vogel’s book and watching the titles within, from Storm Over Asia<\/a><\/em> to The Goalie’s Anxiety<\/a><\/em> – still many more chapters to go. I also want to watch more recent experimental stuff and not get hung-up in the 1940’s thru 70’s forever. Been collecting lists of less-commercial works assembled by a few writers – spending more time organizing the lists than watching the films, but that led me to Fauna<\/a><\/em> this year, and shorts by Lertxundi<\/a> and Asili<\/a> and Nishikawa<\/a>.<\/p>\n Also got some larger must-see lists, an ever-growing pile of favorite directors, a few animated shorts collections, True\/False docs, rock docs, various projects with Katy, rewatches of favorites, the Criterions, and the blu-rays I keep renting and buying (most recently World of Tomorrow<\/em>). Thinking of swinging the other way than usual (seek out the most popular\/acclaimed stuff I haven’t seen) and choosing the weirdest title from each list to have a Weird 2022. But I know I’ll just keep watching whatever I feel like.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Happy New Movie Year!
