And, once again, I’ve gone far too long without updating this page. This latest update represents what I caught at the Tribeca & Cannes Film Festivals – and a few things here and there. You’ll see that I watched nothing older than 2006 in a full month-and-a-half, which I find embarrassing and distasteful. (Unless I am forgetting something, which is entirely plausible.)
