For no good reason, since I'm fairly confident that The Baby of Mâcon has zilch to do with the Peach State. (L'accent circonflexe is a big hint.) Didn't think this lesser-known Greenaway film stood much of a chance in the poll, especially opposite In Bruges, but the match wound up a 60-40 blowout. Steeling myself for something difficult to stomach, based on dim memories of email exchanges with a friend way back in the '90s (hey Eric!); ludicrous that I've still not seen it, though, and I'm always happy when one of the older extant requests finally outright wins (though years passed between BoM's original run of 14 weeks and its current/final tenure of 15; not sure whether the same person tossed it into the ring both times). One can watch it on Tubi, Fandor, and Plex, looks like.

Been a bit distracted for the past couple of days by the midterms + Elon setting Twitter/$44 billion on fire, but my review of last week's poll winner, The Keep, is in progress and will post later today. SPOILER: I did not think it was very good.

Have only got fragments of news about Musk's incompetence since I left the wounded bird. Has anyone done a fun, schadenfreude-fueled and relatively comprehensive writeup of the train wreck?

If you haven’t maxed out The Atlantic this month, Charlie Warzel is having fun. https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2022/11/elon-musk-twitter-poor-management-layoffs-advertisers/672029/ https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2022/11/elon-musk-twitter-takeover-tweets/672040/

Yeah, I'm predicting your rating for BABY and have written it on a sheet of paper. I haven't watched myself since 1996 and it, uh, wasn't my favorite...
