I know no one expects substantive content from this blog

But just to let you know: no substantive content is planned until I finish my thesis, which should be any decade now.

In the meantime, I put my 2008 lists up here. My top ten movies:

1. Happy-Go-Lucky (Mike Leigh)
2. Persepolis (Vincent Paronnaud & Marjane Satrapi)
3. Away from Her (Sarah Polley)
4. Milk (Gus Van Sant)
5. WALL-E (Andrew Stanton)
6. Michael Clayton (Tony Gilroy)
7. Eastern Promises (David Cronenberg)
8. Lady Chatterley (Pascale Ferran)
9. In the City of Sylvia (José Luis Guerín)
10. The Edge of Heaven (Fatih Akin)
