Simple Men is one of my favorite films. I love your deep dive here! Love from Ithaca, where C and I just watched The Excorcist for the first time!

I've never seen The Exorcist, isn't that terrible? Most horror movies are too disturbing for me, but I should see the stone classics anyway. Haven't seen Rosemary's Baby, either. Are you a Hal Hartley fan in general, or is it just this film in particular?

I hadn't seen The Excorcist for the same reason, but in recent years Chris and I have been feeling curious. Recently, I also watched Jaws for the first time. I haven't seen Rosemary's Baby. I'm a huge Hal Hartley fan, but mostly his earliest films. Everything after Henry Fool feels disappointing to me. Looking forward to reading your post more closely over the next few days!
