Viewing Notes

Hope I don’t have to update TMDb for this one too. (I did)

Holy shit. So many blindspots in my movie watching. And want to revisit so many others. Jeebus this is not a good movie to watch right now. Too many movies I want to watch now. :(

Would like to make a list of all the films featured in this. So many experimental and independent/ outsider film. Foreign film and pop film. Shorts, docs, blockbusters.

Yvonne Rainer!! Chantel Akerman!

The credits list ALL the films featured. I may make a list after all. I wonder how many of the short films / experimental films are in TMDb.
