6 things

WandaOther Barbara Loden

loved

The other thing I appreciate about Wanda is how sly it is as a narrative.

VagabondOther Agnès Varda

loved

Vagabond is a wonderful character study with an undercurrent of violence, and that’s something it shares in common with Wanda.

Belle de jourOther Luis Buñuel

loved

And I love Belle de jour, about the inner life of a housewife who fantasizes about being a prostitute. I think that’s probably my favorite of his films.

The Man Who Fell to EarthOther Nicolas Roeg

liked

In The Man Who Fell to Earth, Walkabout, and a lot of other films by Nicolas Roeg, there’s an exploration of isolation that I enjoy and find inspiring.

Every entry is a verbatim quote and a link to the public post it came from. Nothing is paraphrased. If it is not on record somewhere public, it is not here.

The verdict is what they actually said: loved and liked are explicit; recommended means they told others to get it; uses means they only say they use it; read is a book on their public shelf with no verdict; mixed and disliked are kept too.

A dashed affiliate link, sponsored or their own label means the post disclosed a relationship. It is shown, never hidden.

The shading behind a date shows how dated a recommendation is for its kind of thing.

The shading behind a date shows how dated a recommendation is, for its kind of thing. Fully green is recent. It drains a quarter at a time as the post gets older, and is empty once it reads as dated.

What counts as old depends on the thing. A laptop praised four years ago has been replaced twice; a book loved twenty years ago is probably still loved. The shading is gone after about:

Stripes mean the post carries no date and the date shown is an estimate. No date at all, no shading.
