habits and seasoning...

at this point in my blog i think it would be fair of me to explain exactly how my viewing habits work.

you may notice an abundance of james bond films recently. five in total i think. this is a good indication of the way that i watch films in cycles, or seasons that explore the segment of cinema in depth. now that i have finished with bond for the time being (i have an unopened copy of "dr no" that i may watch one night if i cant sleep) im going back to the orson welles and terrence malick seasons started a few weeks back.

i watch a lot of films late at night, sometimes over a few days. these are the films i consider to be lesser ones, hence the large number of bond films viewed over a relatively busy period of time. its at a busy time like this that the films i want to dedicate respectable time to suffer, which explains the fact that there are sealed copies of malick's "the new world - extended cut" and the newly issued "touch of evil" box set (amongst many others) sat atop my bookcase awaiting viewing and subsequent reviewing (although i prefer the term '"discussing"). hopefully now that the busy period hindering my viewing has passed i will be able to explore the sort of films i truly enjoy in greater frequency. first up, tonight im going to take a look at the masters of cinema title "mad detective" (2007).
