Home Library Organization; Harryhausen; Kurosawa; Tom Delay Movie
Saturday morning with a blue sky, moderate temperatures and pleasant outside ambience after a bunch of cold, damp April blah, with chores waiting outside... what better way to take advantage of it than by sitting in front of the puter for a couple hours?
- Superpatron points to a Slashdot comments thread on the best way(s) to organize a large home library. I'm always open to discussion on this question.
- Recently I watched the documentary The Harryhausen Chronicles, about stop-motion great Ray Harryhausen. They had some interesting extras about early work stop-motion work he did in the Army during WWII with training films. The 7th Voyage is a fantastic Harryhausen fan site, well worth checking out for even the casual fan of his work. Other pertinent sites here, here, and here. Also, a list of Harryhausen creatures.
- Right now I am in the midst of watching another documentary about another great filmmaker, Akira Kurosawa. I like it a lot, and even though I've seen most of Kurosawa's stuff (of that which has been released on VHS or DVD in the U.S.) I haven't seen all of it. I want to systematically go through and Netflix those I have missed.
- This Robert Greenwald documentary will be released just in time to catch the tail end of Tom DeLay's time in Congress. SSMW let me borrow his anti-Wal-Mart doc, which I hope to watch this weekend; Even though I think DeLay is a slimeball, I think that the larger free-market forces at work behind Wal-Mart are desirable. (We just got some cheap kitty litter there, thank you very much.)
