on the same ww2 tip, i watched flags of our fathers last night, which i thought was an out-and-out AWFUL movie. the worst buddy-buddy dialogue i have ever heard, and the whole narrative worked as flashbacks within a larger flashback, and pretty much the last scene is an old man's dying words. wtf clint. i don't think i can see iwo jima again.
also watched taxi driver again. it had been a while. reading easy riders, raging bulls for the 40th time and it makes me wish i had all the time in the world to screen everything biskind writes about. also, that's seriously the most sexist book i have ever read outside maybe the bible.

there are some naysayers but that's pretty much the consensus right there
(plus love for Alec Baldwin, and Jack's ratface)

Anyone ever seen TONITE LET'S ALL MAKE LOVE IN LONDON, or these other '60s pop Peter Whitehead films?

Biskind's juicy dishing about how hotshot directors were brought down by the twin demons of arrogance and rampant libido is also tainted by his admission that he can't vouch for the accuracy of many of the book's details. ''Not only is the terrain distant, but in this period memory has been enfeebled by booze and drugs,'' he writes on the very first page....
Even facts that could have been checked more easily are sloughed off. Biskind claims that ''up to 1975, no picture cost more than $15 million''; ''Cleopatra'' cost 20th Century Fox $44 million in early-1960's dollars, and the eight-hour Russian ''War and Peace'' (1966-67) cost at least $96 million. Biskind misspells the names of several well-known Hollywood people; he wrongly asserts ''there was little or no precedent for an actor actually producing a picture'' before Warren Beatty on ''Bonnie and Clyde'' (what about Charles Chaplin, Orson Welles, Ida Lupino, Kirk Douglas, John Wayne, et al.?); and he thinks Julia Phillips is the only woman producer to win an Oscar (Lili Fini Zanuck and Wendy Finerman have done so as well).
