An extremely Italian film that is going to need to be watched many times if it is to be unpacked. Napoli.
FBI Girl (1951)

Pretty wild cartoonish art style.
In French it's "the woman of the secret service" which is a whole other agency, French people please note. But they "chase men", that's the important part I guess.

I’m not sure how I feel about a new take on #StarshipTroopers given the current political climate. The fash didn’t get the satire when Verhoeven did his, and Blomkamp appears to want to take the source material seriously.

I was looking forward to Electric State on Netflix, but it has been a disappointment. Messy story, tonally all over the place (doesn't seem to know what it wants to be), and there's little real characterisation depth, so there's no emotional investment in them. Pity.
Welp, I'm winding down the workday and winding up the movie night.
About to start Pompei (2014), directed by Paul W.S. Anderson, with a starry cast including Kit Harington, Carrie-Anne Moss, Emily Browning, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Jessica Lucas, with Jared Harris and Kiefer Sutherland.

Second up is The ASsassin (2015), directed by Hou Hsiao-hsien, starring Shu Qi and Chang Chen. This one I'm particularly looking forward to.

Lastly, Never Apologize (2007), directed by Mike Caplan, a doc of Malcolm McDowell's one man show, talking about his friend and collaborator, the director Lindsay Anderson. Looks like a blast. (Edit: It is, was.)
Happy birthday to Michael Caine, who happens to be the protagonist of tonight's movie!

In Spain we have ebiblio/eliburutegui for ebooks, papers and magazines and also efilm for streaming multimedia (films, series, concerts)
You only need a library card to access both services.
Library cards and access to online services are free.

@anon_opin Agree when it's shoehorned in to rescue a bad story.
But Back to the Future is entertaining, and these three might be even better: 12 Monkeys, Source Code and Looper.

Franz Rogowski – „Lux – Krieger des Lichts“ (2017)
Franz Rogowski ist ja längst ein Weltstar, nur haben das in Deutschland noch nicht alle gemerkt. Dabei hätten wir aber eigentlich nur etwas genauer hinschauen müssen, und es wäre uns längst vollkommen klar, dass dieser Mann nicht mehr aufzuhalten ist die ganze Welt zu erobern… (ARD)
My ★★★★½ review of Punch-Drunk Love (2002) on #letterboxd: https://boxd.it/97AFpN
Today in Labor History March 14, 1954: Salt of the Earth premiered. The film depicted the 1951 strike of Mexican-American workers at the Empire Zinc mine, in New Mexico. The film was one of the first to portray a feminist political point of view, particularly through Actress Rosaura Revueltas’s role as Esperanza Quintero. When the Company uses the new Taft-Hartley Act (which also bans General Strikes) to impose an injunction preventing the men from picketing, their wives go walk the picket line in their places. LGBTQ and labor activist Will Geer also played in the film. Writer Michael Wilson, director Herbert Biberman and producer Paul Jarrico had all been blacklisted for their alleged communist ties. Only 13 of the 13,000 theaters in the U.S. showed the film.

@ueeu in Germany, there's also filmfriend, which you can login using your public library number. In Berlin, we pay 10 euros per year to have access to the public libraries. We quit Netflix this week and yesterday I was exploring filmfriend. Their selection of films and series is great!
