One week ago I rented Be Kind, Rewind, being enchanted by the idea of classic film beiung "Sweded" and Jack Black channeling Jessica Tandy. It turned out that the film sucked ass, the best bits were in the trailer and the rest was a mess. It did inspire some thoughts on why Wild and Woolly is now a foundation in my life. Crumbling somewhere between the poles of Hip and Wonky, I don't know what I would do without that place. In recent weeks I have had enlightening conversations about Dario Argento (of whom I knew very little) and Andrei Tarkovsky (which I a good deal about) and especially under the elastic embrace of the FOSF the outer arcs of genre remain well represented.
