More movies

The movie watching spree continued this week with THX 1138 (1971) and the six minute long Planet X (2006). I have absolutely no idea what to make of the latter.

Started reading The Simulacra by Philip K. Dick. Ken Layne recommended it on one of the Desert Oracle programs/podcasts and I picked it up a while ago. I started it back in early December but got sidetracked, so I started it from scratch this week. I’m hooked so far.

Books and films

The Criterion Channel had a 25% off sale a month or so ago, so I bought a yearly subscription. It is nice to have a huge library of movies worth watching. Quite a difference from Hulu and Netflix …

I’ve also read a few books over the past month. We had an extra long holiday break from school this year so I had lots of time.

Recently watched: North by Northwest (1959), Strangers on a Train (1951), Double Indemnity (1944), The 39 Steps (1953), Samurai I: Musashi Miyamoto (1954), Gente del Po (1947), Kiru (1962), Kenki (1965).

Recently read: The Passenger and Stella Maris (Cormac McCarthy), The Shape of a Pocket (John Berger), Nova Express: The Restored Text (William Burroughs, edited by Oliver Harris), Notes on Nothing: The Joy of Being Nobody (Anonymous).
