I don’t believe in lying on my own blog. After a full day’s work and a nice walk through Greenwich Village (including sneaking in to the old Tisch School of the Arts to use the rest room) I wound up at the Anthology Film Archives to see “Asphalt,” which looked like an interesting German Expressionist silent film. And the first fifteen minutes were terrific — great sets and camerawork. But, y’know, they’re hardcore at the Anthology. When they mean silent, they mean silent. No music track, no nothing. And when the lights were low & I’d been movin’ around nonstop all day. . . . Let’s cut to the chase: I was asleep by the top of the second reel. I feel bad for the people around me who had to listen to me snore. This is why I love DVD.
