Munchausen!

Tonight at 11pm, TCM is showing the 1943 German version of the adventures of Baron Munchausen. I must remember to tape it! This is the most famous version besides Terry Gilliam's. I saw Karel Zeman's 1961 version at The Egyptian a few years back, and it was clear that Gilliam had been hugely influenced by it (not just for his version of Munchausen: Zeman used the same animated cut art technique that Gilliam appropriated for Monty Python). Totally psyched to see this.

Also, IFC is showing this great documentary about Spaghetti Westerns. Very good stuff. And September 20, 9:45 am, they're showing Punk: Attitude again--best documentary on the history of punk yet made!
