Hi Angela, I prefer to think of him as the "angel king", since he's always looking to the sky and he's the best. Glad to see that you weren't wiped out in that...
... All good choices, except (in my opinion) for maybe AFFLICTION, which has always been a film I've had difficulty liking, despite my fondness for all ...
Thanks for the shout back Bilge. I wondered too after the fact why neither of us had chosen the obvious, The Thin Red Line ! Believe it or not, I've never seen...
... I love The Moviegoer as well, and almost all of Walker Percy's works. As far as I can understand it, Malick was hired to do a draft on a screenplay for a ...
Wow! That's a good one. Here's one for you. I have a friend who is friends with Ecky's daughter (Malick's step daughter). Malick apparently comes down to San...
... I wasn't crazy about that film, but I did think the performances were excellent. And I actually think these performers might have been pretty interesting...
Brooklyn. Good to know. Does that make you a Mets fan, or Yankees, or none of the above? You won't get the connection unless you've read the book, but an...
Hi Oscar and everyone: Can you or Bilge provide the exact link to Bilge's piece at Bookforum? For some reason I can't find it. Talk of adaptations made me...
... The specific list we're discussing can be found here: http://bookforum.com/inprint/issue=200703&id=257 But my regular column for the magazine, in which I...
Hi Angela, As an aspiring screenwriter who so far works mainly in adaptations, I'm scared to death of magical realism. That kind of material can be so...
I've been working on this video tribute to Malick for a while now. It's really been a great pleasure and a great experience for me, to edit such amazing...
Tom: Very cool--an extended Malick tone poem. ("Video" is too crass a word for it.) You found similarities I hadn't thought of between TTRL and TNW, and you...
Astute as always, Angela. Now although Latin and Semitic languages are not really related in the philological scheme of things, you might want to consider our...
... Dinesen story. Not magic realism, but great filmmaking--director Gabriel Axel's details about the sensuality of preparing and eating food are remarkable. ...
Hi Bilge, I just found these links by doing a search on bookforum after reading your discussion with Oscar, and I was extremely happy to see it's now available...
... Fidelity to the source material usually means nothing to me, even in the case of an adaptation of a book I love. For example, Elia Kazan's EAST OF EDEN is...
Hi: I want to make some lists too...please join in. I'll start with great films that feature a character dealing with old age/the prospect of death, prompted...

Haven't seen that one, but have heard good things about it. Have you seen *Babette's Feast*? It should be required viewing for every serious cook. Seriously! ...
Oscar: Yep, putting a resurrected (from death) character into a landscape is a perfect example of magic realism, at least based on the definition of "magic...
Good news for all true Malickians: Terry is about to receive the Criterion DVD treatment, starting with DAYS OF HEAVEN. I will be working on it (writing the...

O'Keeffe has always been an inspiration me, in many ways, for the way she lived her life, as much as for her paintings. I just finished reading a 550 page...
Hi Tom, I downloaded the 140 MB file and played it on my new super fast computer with a recent version of QT (don't know if it's the very latest), but it kept...
Yes, I have seen Babette's Feast - a lovely film, but I'd much rather pick Richard Borst's brain for cooking secets (eeeuw!) than Babette's.... ;-) Agape ... ...
