What started off as a simple post has turned into a mystery . . . I was just going to post this:
From: Netflix Shipping <discship@netflix.com>To: webmaster@listology.com
Subject: For Mon: Andrei Rublev
But when I tried to find the ecstatic post where you elevated that movie to your top 10 ever, or the "Watched in 2002" list where I thought it appeared, I found no trace (and saw that your top 10 was archived, I assume in anticipation of finishing your top 100). So were you too hasty in your accolades? Do I have a 4-hour Russian epic on the way that does not carry quite the ringing endorsement it once did? Or is my memory just failing me spectacularly? :-)
You're right about my archiving of my top ten list. Hopefully, one of these days I'll finish my top 100, so I went ahead and kicked it back into the archives.
Honestly, I can't remember where in the world I made that comment. I know I did, and yes, Andrei RUblev is still in my top ten films ever, but I can't recall where I said that. A few quick searches still left my puzzled.
Andrei Rublev is long and will probably bore most folks to death. I hope you enjoy it. I love it.
I'm trust, of course, you'll let me know either way... ;)
I'll search more after work...
Shalom, y'all!
