Biskind's essays are not necessarily outdated, just of their time and reflecting the issues then. Those issues might not be as relevant today but that is not...
If something is no longer relevant then it's outdated. I think there's a general consensus on that. As to all the hullabaloo over DOH, these are our personal...

Hi, I was curious if there are any Malick enthusiasts on this list living in Cambridge, UK at the moment. Thanks, Eli...
Hi, Angela you said about Bell's wife in TRL that you weren't sure of her role, or what Malick with saying through her. I think the TRL looks at different ...
Eli: Yes...what you wrote! : ) That's what I would have written had I given it more thought...I love this group. And having just read that VF article again,...
Oscar: Funny, I finally saw *A Woman Under the Influence* about a year ago...I saw it as a loving examination of the "overly emotional" behaviors men who don't...
Eli: Don't live there, but I always wanted badly to live in England or at least go for an extended stay. I've been to Cambridge, in 1991 on my second...
Hi: Now, now...settle down, guys. : ) Not assuming you're referring to my comments here lately, but wanted to clarify that I, for one, didn't indicate that I...
I wondered if anyone else was aware that in secondary literature about the Thin Red Line, the key voice-overs are all attributed to Witt. However, when I...
Angela, After many viewings I had a similar impression to you about there being an autobiographical layer to the film. I find it interesting that Malick has...
Hi, I am aware of three books with substantial discussion of the Thin Red Line. They are, * The "Thin Red Line" (BFI Modern Classics) by Michel Chinon ...
Angela, At the moment I am studying philosophy here, which is intense and involves a lot of procrastinating at the moment (hence the posts...) Malick's films...
Hello there Eli, I couldn't help noticing that one of our recent posts has a UK address - maesaber5yahoo.co.uk Best, Oscar ... From: "E.J.P. Gothill"...

'The New World' holds no prisoners, the film from start to finish respects the subject matters it touches but also respects the audience. Not since Tarkovsky...

Hi Oscar, Thanks for the great postings of late - absorbing stuff. Re: Carney (sorry): I seem to remember him making a snotty comment about Malick and...
Eli, You have now entered the anxious game of 'who said what in The Thin Red Line'! I've heard the Train theory before (and apparently it appears as such in...
Hi Eli, One additional book for your list: The Films of Terrence Malick, by James Morrison and Thomas Schur (Published by Prager, 2003). This is an academic...
Hello Everyone, Just dropping a note to say hello. Just joined the group. I've been a fan of Malick since seeing The Thin Red Line in '99. Just saw The New...
... moment, one I thought wasn't overplayed so much as it just didn't ring true. When Smith visits Pocahontas in England, she immediately goes back to Rolfe,...
Hello Cape Town Ian, Total conjecture on my part, but I wonder if the question had anything to do with Cassavetes' films being improvised. The thing is, they...

Yeah, I was the one who posted that letter. I love Cassavetes but Ray Carney can be one of the most pretentious douchebags out there. I think I read somewhere...
No, SAVING PRIVATE RYAN would've been an outrage. At least, SHAKESPEARE had a great script by Stoppard. Bill ... William Boodell "My Name is Earl" Post...
Hi, I was wondering if anyone had a hard copy of 'The Runaway Genius' article in Vanity Fair and would be willing to scan it and upload the files to the...
No „Best Picture“-Oscar is ever an outrage since everyone knows that it is NEVER really the best picture of the year anyway. I love watching the Oscars but...

I did not want to say that the movies with the best screenplays were the overall best movies. I just wanted to say that the ones who win best screenplay almost...

Oliver won as kind of a "payback" to Carol Reed who SHOULD have won it for The Third Man. And 2001? Oliver beat out The Wild Bunch as well. Damn shame. Jason ...
Gents, I just joined this group and wanted to drop a quick note to say hello. There has already been some interesting discussion and I am looking forward to...
