More time wasting

Instead of random jottings about books and food, some people actually have useful blogs. One of these is the strangely named Criterion Contraption. This guy is trying to watch all of the Criterion collection movies and then writing a longish review of each. He is a film guy so there is lots of (interesting) technical detail. He clearly spends a lot of time with each movie. I felt better when he too was confused by the very strange Japanese movie Branded to Kill. If you don't know Criterion, they take films of particular cultural or artistic value, add extras and release them in nice editions. If you have recently won the lottery you can get all in print titles here (or you will be able to later this year).
