Forces at Work
Sorry for missing Friday's random 10 - I've been playing that game on facebook lately, which has advantages, being more interactive... it's purposes here are to force me to post something - to give me a framework for fairly arbitrary links posts - and to say something about music. But today - in ...

Friday the Thirteenth, is It?
Another Friday - I've had a more productive week than usual, thanks to internet goofballs and some significant anniversaries... I have another paper to write and am procrastinating on that, so I might get a few more posts up here in the next few days... Still - habits are useful, so let's ...

The Great War Remembered
I think Veteran's Day might be my favorite holiday - or, not favorite, not exactly that - but the one I find most - moving? It's certainly the one "serious" holiday I seem to post about every year. It may be that it has retained much more of its "true meaning" than any others - Memorial Day or ...

German History, Good and Bad
It was 20 years ago today that the Berlin Wall came down. It had been coming for some time - the eastern Bloc was coming apart in the summer of 89, with demonstrations at the wall for some time ( Wikipedia's account .) And then, Günter Schabowski , a Politburo member, announced that travel ...

On the Making of Films
Someone was filming in Harvard Square tonight. I passed through, stopped for a burger, went on to the Harvard Film Archive to see Lisandro Alonso's Liverpool , with Alonso in attendance. This proves a rather jarring juxtaposition. Alonso spoke of shooting Liverpool with a crew of 10, or 12 ...

I Am Legion?
I find that I have achieved the dream of film lovers everywhere - I have been cast as a Supervillain ! The honor comes courtesy of Dan Schneider , a critic of sorts I've poked at a few times, here and abroad - out of the thin stuff of 3-4 arguments, a couple links, a comment or two, he has ...

Weekend Roundup
I am going to keep trying to maintain at least a basic schedule, Friday(ish) music and links post, if nothing else. I have to do it tonight, though, for reasons which might as well be the first link: Lisandro Alonso will be at the Harvard Film Archive this weekend - I want to catch as much of ...

Music and Miscellany
Another Friday - and to try to keep a hand in, here's another random ten, plus a couple links.... Wildgrounds lists his ten favorite scenes in Japanese cinema.... Via Pullquote , reminder that the Stuart Street Playhouse is a movie theater again . And Glenn Kenny and David Cairns both plug a ...

Antichrist
It's hard to know exactly what to say about Lars von Trier - people seem to have been writing him off lately. I've been writing him off lately - his 00's films have been generally disappointing - he seems to have been wandering in a wilderness this decade, making films that sound terrible ...

Random Return of Random Music Feature
Since I continue to fail to provide any new content here, it's time to drag out some tried and true filler. Though if I ever do get some more content up here, it might well be music related - a bunch of interesting records coming out recently... I've been way down on my CD buying, but - things ...
