Ah, the Moon. Distant. Mysterious. Probably not made of cheese (or that’s what they WANT you to believe). Its light is great for dancing . . . in. That’s what we call a “Moondance,” and what a marvelous night it is for one! Sometimes it’s a “Blue Moon”, sometimes we have to beg it to “Shine On, Harvest Moon.” There might be a “Man on the Moon!” See those women over there? They might be “Sisters of the Moon!” You don’t know, they might be! Why are you arguing with me?! Do you see a “Bad Moon Rising”? Just listen to that “Moonlight Serenade”! Some say it’s “Only a Paper Moon” but you’d think it would fall apart after a while. Or get soggy from all that space humidity But what’s that behind you?! Are you being followed by a “Moonshadow”?! Call the proper authorities! But this week’s cinematic tribute to the Moon, in our series “I Can’t Believe You Haven’t Seen That 3: the ReBelievening,” is titled simply “Moon” and Max has never seen it! And yes, there’s a guy “Walking on the Moon” and that guy is Sam Rockwell! More than once, too (check out the show; you’ll see what I mean). Join us and see if the moon hits our eye like a big pizza pie, and if we need subsequent medical treatment or corneal grafts! And consider the question: “flag on the moon . . . how did it get there?” Whoooaaaaaaaa . . .

I could say Aquirre the Wrath of God, and I just did, but I absolutely love King Vidor’s silent film, The Crowd. The cinematography is amazing and its a story that is small in some ways and universal in others. I am not sure the ending is entirely positive but it makes you think. A young man from childhood onwards wants to stand out from the crowd but the crowd is always there pressing against him. He learns some very hard lessons and the last shot, I think, teachers the viewer a lesson.
……………. you’re not going to be happy until we do an entire series on Werner Herzog, are you, Vince.
You can do silent movies and I will be happy. I just want to watch Herzog movies with YOU! I think you will be surprised about a few of them… maybe not “ Even Dwarves Start Small” but some of the others. 🙂
