Polluting the Blogosphere – because it’s the new earth! April 8, 2015. It’s one of the many contradictions of the. Or maybe the age old tradition of Hollywood milking its properties until absolutely nobody cares anymore are true. Hell, you can sort of see it happening in the. From its original and, comparatively, minor interests. It’s all of a piece with the ramshackle, ridiculously stupid and surprisingly endearing world of the biggest original franchise on the planet at the moment. Fill in your details...

A Huston Sampler, Pt 1. Over the last several weeks I have been watching a mix of John Huston films, at first coincidentally and then quite intentionally. I have always been interested in Huston, though up until this series of viewings I had only seen The Maltese Falcon. The film that I began with. Show it your gun, why don't you? If it doesn't stop, shoot it.") but, eventually, using a gun is the only way to get things done. Next, I watched The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. Treasure of the sierra madre.

Polluting the Blogosphere – because it’s the new earth! January 21, 2015. On the phone with a friend some months ago I talked about being keen to see. Was the result, with its journalist strawmen and imperialist redefinition of the Vietnamese (both North and South) to fit into a traditional John Wayne War Movie Narrative. It was always intended to be that, and wound up being the second highest grossing movie of the year for Warner Brothers, hilariously behind only. Hoberman’s take on Wayne’s perspective ...

Habits of My Attention: May 2008
http://habits-of-attention.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
May 30, 2008. That's HEDLEY Lamarr, you putz! Last night I was trolling the internet and discovered, via The IMDB, that comedic actor Harvey Korman had passed away at age 81. He is, I imagine, known mostly for his co-starring role, with his partner in classic TV comedy sketches, Tim Conway on The Carol Burnett Show. Korman's movie career is sporadic; Disney sequels like. My mind is aglow with whirling, transient nodes of thought careening through a cosmic vapor of invention! May 26, 2008. May 23, 2008.

Habits of My Attention: Don't Think
http://habits-of-attention.blogspot.com/2009/04/dont-think.html
Apr 27, 2009. A recent post by The Passionate Moviegoer. Discusses the weekly fact that the highest grossing films are entertainments directed toward action lovers or teenagers or children. He then cites the rock dropping ticket sales for films that try to be adult entertainment or, at the least, have intricate or more complex plots . in other words, "make you think" or engage your brain to follow a plot and be surprised. My favorite part of the post is this ending shot:. I'm afraid that says it all.

Habits of My Attention: Woody Through a Glass Darkly

Oct 2, 2009. Woody Through a Glass Darkly. Thinking of a film that I truly disliked at first viewing, yet found myself admiring today, was a difficult decision. There are plenty of films I did not like at first glance, but later liked them a bit more or understood them better or saw their "point" in the second analysis. George Roy Hill's. Came to mind . a film I truly hated, then felt kinder toward. Robert Altman's. Having watched many Woody Allen films before being exposed to. What would he do next?
