hey louis, don't you remember douglas sirk, rainer werner fassbinder ... and "cinema"?

WORLD ON A WIRE also known as LIKE A BIRD ON A WIRE (comme l'oiseau sur le fil), r w fassbinder, tv film, 1975.

of course i remember sirk and fassbinder,
and i'm ever so happy CARLOTTA is releasing their films on dvd.
fassbinder?
oui.
what about godard?
no.
cassavettes?
no.
why?
don't you see fassbinder is the LAST ONE who said things, sad things, happy things, violins and all, and AT THE SAME TIME, still remembered what cinema was about.

hey louis, remember how you used to go to movies with eric?

NOW, you ONLY WATCH TV ...
YES, AND I LOVE IT.

why, oh why, do i listen to these supid cowboys????

hey louis,do you remember how much i loved RACHEL, RACHEL? i even thought it was paul newman's BEST film ...

- hey, louis, tu te rappelles combien j'adorais RACHEL, RACHEL, je pensais même que PAUL NEWMAN était le meilleur cinéaste américain, mais le film a beaucoup vieilli, tu sais ...
- et LEOPARD MAN, eric, tu en penses quoi aujourd'hui?

- LEOPARD MAN aussi a vieilli, je trouve.
- et si c'était toi, crétin d'eric, qui avait vieilli, hein? comment peux-tu savoir, avec le peu d'intelligence du cinéma qui te reste, que tu n'avais pas raison LA PREMIERE FOIS? il y a trois ans (ou dix, ou trente ans)?
who told you, your first impression was not the right one?
