Sarris on Woody Allen

Saturday, August 12, 2006

1 Comment

In the wake of my umpteenth viewing of Stardust Memories, I read Andrew Sarris’ reviewof Woody Allen’s latest in The New York Observer. (It’s the second one, after Chambrol.) I was struck by this paragraph: The suspicion persists among many critics that when one of Mr. Allen’s films fails, it is because he isn’t really [...]

Reviews, I’m here to tell you, suck. When they’re good, they’re never quite good enough, and when they’re bad, you’re convinced that they’ve just ended your career. Humor writing is particularly ill-starred in this regard (as it is in every regard save making readers laugh). Nothing is more subjective and personal than somebody’s sense of [...]

Lawrence of Arabia

I had the great good fortune to watch the movie “Lawrence of Arabia” in 70mm at the Aero Theater last night. I decided to do it on a whim, and the theater was packed, but it was really a wonderful experience. It reminded me of other times, mostly as a boy, when a movie has [...]

Saturday roundup…

In this week’s New Yorker, Anthony Lane misses the mark on “The Incredibles,” only lukewarm about a movie that was thoroughly well-made, scrupulous about its comic logic, consistently inventive, and utterly enjoyable. Is it that he doesn’t like computer animation, that it’s not the “superheroes-trapped-in-reality” movie he would’ve made, or simply that he doesn’t have [...]

I’m listening to "Smile"…

…the just-released reimagination of the Brian Wilson/Beach Boys album begun, but never completed, in 1966. It’s very cool, and I highly recommend it to fellow Beatlefreaks, or anybody who enjoys tuneful 60s pop. What a wonderful end to the formerly tragic story of Smile. Those of you unaware of the history: I found a web [...]

A pet peeve generates a predictable screed

Thursday, September 9, 2004

There’s is nothing–NOTHING–I hate more than authors who defend business-as-usual in the American publishing industry. The way books are published is illogical, inefficient, sloppy, arrogant, and massively tilted towards the middlemen (and I include the publisher in that group) at the expense of the person or people who actually create the intellectual property for sale.
