NEW PUBLICATION: "Film Review: 'Snack Sakura' Reflects Ambiguity of Japan’s Vintage Nightlife." Unseen Japan (April 2024). https://unseen-japan.com/review-snack-sakura-documentary

This review, at a popular site for people interested in Japan, could serve as a guide to watching the new documentary about Japanese hostess bars. It's a new genre for me, although I have some background in journalism: https://japanned.hcommons.org/journalism

"Let It Be," restored by Peter Jackson and the team that worked on "The Beatles: Get Back," will be released on Disney+ tomorrow (May 8). Variety's Owen Gleiberman compares the new version to the original, which he first watched in the summer of 1970, and says it's "one of the most joyful rock documentaries ever made." What do you think of the constant repackaging of the Beatles archive?

Ooooooh! Our first 50/50 split on a poll. Exactly half of voters are all for the constant repackaging of the Beatles archive, and the rest say let it be. Here's an interview from Paste Magazine with "Let It Be" director Michael Lindsay-Hogg about the unearthing and restoration of his Oscar-winning documentary.

Our family friend Mimi Wada co-produced and co-starred in the new "Snack Sakura" that shows ( hostess ) through the experiences of the expert Canadian Greg Girard. It is under 25 minutes and posted for free at https://hi-lo.tv/Our-Work or permalink https://player.vimeo.com/video/935465833

Other professors used to take me to snacks when I was single, so I was well aware that hostesses were mostly divorced or single mothers. Mimi sheds light on the nature of snacks by saying that has a dark side. Regarding the that Greg mentions, Mimi clarifies that there is a double standard whereby men can go to snacks openly, but it is shameful for to work in them. Now I'm a family man, but I sympathize with such women, who would otherwise have to for close to the minimum wage.

A documentary succeeds insofar as it sheds light on the topic. If you watch it, perhaps let us know your impressions.

Eleanor Coppola, the filmmaker behind "Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse" and "Paris Can Wait," writer, memoirist, wife of Francis Ford Coppola and mother of Gian-Carlo, Roman and Sofia, has died at age 87. Here's AP's tribute to the matriarch of one of the world's greatest filmmaking families. “I don’t know what the family has given except I hope they’ve set an example of a family encouraging each other in their creative process whatever it may be,” Eleanor told The Associated Press in 2017.

I revisited the Grizzly Man last night. Still holds up - a beautiful but insane account of a man who made it his life’s mission to protect bears in Alaska from poachers. Did he do more harm than good for these bears? Worth a watch just for the footage alone, although some is a bit unsettling. @movies

Rick Prelinger founded the Prelinger Archives in 1982 with the mission of preserving “ephemeral films.” These pieces of “throwaway media” include newsreel-type documentaries, works of political propaganda, instructional productions for use in schools and workplaces, and a great many home movies that offer candid glimpses into everyday American lives.

You can access the free online collections at the Internet Archive (which contains 9,229 films) and YouTube.

"You Can Call Me Bill," the documentary about William Shatner, will be released in movie theaters across the U.S. on March 22 — Shatner's 93rd birthday. When the film premiered at SXSW last year, Deadline spoke to the actor about the origins of the term "mad hatter," space, the mysteries of life, and a song he's written called "Elephants and Termites." "I’m sure you know that termites build these mounds. They masticate the earth, build a tower, and millions of them live in the tower," he said, explaining the origins of the composition. "Along comes an elephant with an itchy butt, and they scratch their butt on the tower, destroy the tower, tower crumbles. It’s now dirt."
