Should I wait before posting something new, so everyone can see the latest as long as possible, or do I keep putting up new stuff, to generate new hits and hoping finally getting it right?
Some of my favorite posts of the last year:
May 26, 2008 - These Sawdust Caesars
...in which I explain most emotionally that the teenage moving-going audience had more power to change the movie-going experience, and maybe what movies were actually produced. But they just. Don't. Behave.
June 12, 2008 - The Perfect Time to Think Silver
... a quote from Warhol, and a meditation on nitrate, the avant-garde, silver screens in cinemas, and how nice that all is.
October 17, 2008 - Forget It, Jake
...because I got to talk about my favorite Hollywood film, "Chinatown" and tie it to new audiences who don't seem to appreciate it.
January 12, 2009 - The Border Between Calm and Catastrophe
... an actually (for me) optimistic and realistic acceptance of the coming age of digital cinema, with the caveat that it makes us anxious, a cool title and picture of Edie Sedgwick, who was poised on the border of catastrophe herself.
July 2, 2008 - Nice Things Destroyed
...in which I elucidate a main concern, that this thing called movies may go away if we don't pay attention, with a clearer explication of film as object without going into technical or academic theoretical specifics I sometimes do (here, for example).
Sometimes I shouldn't try so hard.
Thanks for reading.
