See You Next Week – DragonCon awaits!
I’m typing this while sitting on my hotel room bed in sunny downtown Atlanta, preparing myself for four days of geek debauchery. For this is the weekend of Dragon*Con, the world’s largest culture convention — an everlasting gobstopper of science fiction, fantasy, film, television, literature, costuming, podcasting, science!, and more. And this is my Film Talk doctor’s note, explaining why I won’t be posting a film-related blog this week.

Rossellini’s War Trilogy: Saved by Grace
I’m not going to add anything to the scholarship on Roberto Rossellini’s War Trilogy, but holy moly are these films breathtaking. I’d seen Rome, Open City previously, but, no, I really hadn’t. A good print, as characterizes the new Criterion transfers, is indescribably immersive. Post-war Europe comes alive.

Piranha 3D: Sloppy, Gory Fun.
A friend of mine accused my last article (Kick Ass & Why I Don’t Like Super Hero Movies) of elitism. As if. Snobbery maybe, but elitism? If I were truly a film elitist, I wouldn’t have enjoyed the skin & blood fest that is Piranha 3D.
But for all its faults, I did.

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: Talkin’ ’bout my generation
I thought I was so over Michael Cera. My video game skills are only up to the early levels of Super Mario Bros, NES. And I have as much desire to watch hipsters fall in and out of “relationships” for a couple hours as I do to sit through Inception again and see if I’m missing anything. But Edgar Wright’s followup to his keenly observed genre riffs Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz is as dazzling as it is heartfelt. Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is one of the sharpest portraits of millennial culture yet put to film.

Some Bad News
Hey there TFT fans – some bad news: my wife’s just called and our house in Nashville’s been broken into. Luckily she wasn’t home at the time and is ok – but all of our computers, cameras and many valuables gone, (TFT Archives possibly??). The result of this is that I’m taking the red-eye from Los Angeles back to Nashville tonight to be with her – so there may be some disruption to service ’round here.
Luckily TFT has two great bloggers in Tony Youngblood and Brandon Nowalk so there should be some interesting posts coming up this week; plus you’ll know if you’already listened to our current ep that next week’s show will be a repeat. We should have a new podcast up and running after episode 141. Many thanks for your support during this crappy time.

Restrepo: No exit
Covering the war in Afghanistan from the frontlines, Restrepo (2010) is an eye-opening piece of journalism that makes CNN’s Persian Gulf coverage look like a puff piece. Directors Tim Hetherington and Sebastian Junger deliver verite naturalism as they embed with the US Army for fifteen months in the most dangerous region of Afghanistan, the Korengal valley. The film’s intimate perspective compensates for a lack of omniscience with an observant eyes-on-the-ground approach similar to that of Generation Kill. The major divergence, though, is in the acknowledgment, or glaring lack thereof in the case of Restrepo, of the reporters. They ask questions on a couple occasions, and the entire campaign is interspersed with later confessional sequences in typical doc style, but you wonder why nobody’s rushing to cover the directors during any of the combat they wind up in.

Kick-Ass and Why I Don’t Like Superhero Movies
Yes, I know it’s been a while since Kick-Ass played the theaters. But I only just caught it on Blu-Ray, and it lead me to think long and hard about superhero movies — thoughts which I felt worth sharing with you. Here’s why I didn’t like Kick-Ass and why I generally don’t like superhero movies:
