The pitchforks of Indie movies

December 3, 2007

For the past several years, I have relied on Pitchfork’s reviews to keep me abreast of up and coming Indie music. But, I’ve always had a hard time doing the same thing with Indie movies. Netflix seems to carry a huge selection, maybe not as many as GreenCine, but their browsing scheme is so crappy that I have no way of telling what new Indie/Foreign flicks have been recently added to the collection. So after a quick poll with the hive mind, I now have some resources:

  1.  Film Movement: You've probably seen their trailers in Indie movie DVDs. Well, they have a catalog of newly released stuff.

2. Twitch:  If you want to get more obscure, this is the place to go.
 

 3. Film Threat: A little more mainstream than I'd like but still cool.

4. Film Comment: A print mag with what looks like a limited online version.
 

 5. Cahiers du Cinema:  Now in english

 

6. and finally, GreenCine's own blog (updated daily). I think this is great for me because Netflix will most likely get the DVDs the same time they do.

    For every long-lost chum who reaches out to me on Facebook, there's a guy who beat me up on a weekly basis through the whole seventh grade but now wants to be my buddy; or the crazy person who was fun in college but is now kind of sad; or the creepy ex-co-worker who I'd cross the street to avoid but who now wants to know, "Am I your friend?" yes or no, this instant, please.

  • 12 to 18 year old single malt Scotch helps me [deal with the anxiety around the economic and global clusterfuck]

    I don't mean this flippantly. Every bottle of good Scotch is an optimistic vote for the future of mankind, and a testament to the wisdom of the people that made it, and kept it for us, against the day our cold bones and weakened hearts would most need it.

    Nobody lays down good whisky for the future, unless they believe in tomorrow, and in those of us who'll need it, when it's golden ripe and ready. Those what make it often don't get to enjoy it, but probably enjoyed some layed down for them, when they didn't know enough to lay any down, themselves.

    So, it comes round, and it goes round, and warms our hearts and loosens our tongues when most we need it. Courage in a bottle, and hope of better days, from those who've gone before.
