“I believe that if, at the end of it all, according to our abilities, we have...”
– Roger Ebert (via Esquire)
I know it’s being referenced all over the place right now, but this interview is required reading. I didn’t realize the extent of his medical situation, given that I’ve only ever read his writing and never paid much attention to Siskel & Ebert or...
I'm a Cyborg, but that's OK
Goddamnit Netflix, how are you missing I’m a Cyborg, but that’s OK? You have the rest of the Chan-wook Park DVDs, the vengeance trilogy on up to Thirst. Amazon is no help either, offering $30 imports through third-party sellers (likely actual pirates, in other words people who are profiting off his work)…guess I’m forced into the torrent network. Thank jeebus for...

To expand on my Tumblr answer to this question, I think that the debate as framed is missing the larger point...

The always interesting Jakob Lodwick’s new project (is Normative dead? That interested me far more than the Odwick stuff.) This is pretty close to exactly what I’m looking for to index web content, assuming the tagging is done well. Link is to Netflix/Classics/Instant, but it’s easy enough to shift around the tags to filter content quickly and efficiently. I’ll be curious...

Synchronicity
I love when stuff like this happens…as I was trolling through Barnes & Noble’s website looking for stuff to spend a $35 gift certificate, I settled in on Roberto Rossellini’s War Trilogy in a Criterion set.
Haven’t seen any of them, been on my to-watch list for a while, etc…ignoring the fact that this the $72 price tag left me more than halfway short on the...
