Overrated, but still not bad

Berdawn and I watched Amores Perros last weekend. It was supposedly one of the best films of the year (2000), but that's a crock of shit. It wasn't bad at all, but compared to In the Mood For Love or Werckmeister Harmonies it was pretty pedestrian and mediocre. Can't believe it's got an average of 8.1 at IMDb...

James Coburn died today at age 74. He was so cool...

The "Good" Kind of Junk Mail?

Went home for lunch and I had the new Facets catalogue in the mail. Probably a direct result of subscribing to Film Comment. The catalogue's fine, but everything's list price.

Damn Miramax

Just found out that Miramax is delaying the US release of Hero until late 2003. They're also cutting it to about 100 minutes. I hate Miramax. Miramax are evil. They must be stopped. Any ideas?
