Famous Movie Poster Rejects You've Never Seen (Exclusive) Pt. 2
Where's Duncan when we need him?!?...— December 30, 2011 4:18 p.m.
Famous Movie Poster Rejects You've Never Seen (Exclusive) Pt. 1
To offer a more positive comment: one would be far better off spending one's time looking at / reading about good & important art / Art...& I feel the need to be apologetic because I'm sure a good deal of time has been spent on this !?!? (well, I don't want to be more negative)...— December 30, 2011 4:14 p.m.
Famous Movie Poster Rejects You've Never Seen (Exclusive) Pt. 1
One can readily / quickly see why these are rejects...please excuse me but why should one waste one's time on these pop-culture rejects... aspects of pop-c are undoubtedly not only good but important for mind as well as soul...but the obvious rejects are truly a waste of time; maybe academically (asking why) it might be of some interest but... & I should also be asking myself, why am I spending / wasting my time negatively commenting on this? ...duhhh, what can I say...— December 30, 2011 4 p.m.
Mirage
Not only the year in which the film was made, this page should also note when DS wrote his critique...I gather this was written before Memento???...not that this would/should change DS's rating by more than, maybe, a star...by the by, this seems worthy of note (even before one realizes it's from Berkley U): http://socrates.berkeley.edu/~kihlstrm/movies.htm— February 11, 2011 3:09 p.m.
So Long
Having finally just seen it, and having been mightily impressed, I now miss DS's take on "True Grit"! Why did he have to retire just prior to its release and his observations regarding it? Hopefully, regardless of retirement, he won't be able to resist writing something soon.— January 26, 2011 8:49 p.m.

To DS via TB: Just now reading in The Reader your comment on Senor Shepherd's rather sudden announcement of his retirement...as you pointed out one had to "up (one's) game" when one wished to defend a film he had found wanting...ultimately, whether one agreed with him or not, one always saw, heard, felt or thought of things which one had not done so on one's own...in the end the least yet, paradoxically, the most significant thing one could say is that he is a consummate stylist...again, whether one agreed or not, just reading him was not only an insight and a pleasure but was a lesson in the art of writing itself (hmmm? yep! that's what is meant by "a pleasure")...I just hope that he will now compile his best articles in a book, or books, a la Mencken and Nathan, Agee and Farber...— November 18, 2010 9:14 p.m.

Let them drink Sparkletts
If I understand correctly it appears to be another example of bureaucratic hypocracy!...or at least "do what I say & NOT as...", ye ole double standard...yes???— July 1, 2010 6:01 p.m.

A_J_B (#1), I'm trying to figure out what that has to do with anything...truly important!...not that money isn't important...but...— October 26, 2009 11:05 a.m.
