The Seven Faces of Jane

January 13th, 2023

The Seven Faces of Jane https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/the-seven-faces-of-jane-movie-review-2023 Created January 13, 2023 at 05:32PM When a movie is powered mainly by an intriguing concept, any complaint that a viewer might level against it can be waved away with the phrase, "That's a feature, not a bug." Such is the case with "The Seven Faces of Jane," an improvised, collaborative work by eight directors. It's essentially eight short films revolving around a Los Angeles-area actress a...

Childhood Trauma

Childhood TraumaChildhood Traumahttp://krelllabs.blogspot.com/2022/10/invaders-from-mars-1986-review.htmlCreated October 7, 2022 at 04:57PMIn retrospect, Tobe Hooper probably should have walked away from Cannon Films and Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus after the debacle of Lifeforce. Hooper still had cache after directing Poltergeist for Steven Spielberg, and the lingering reputation from the The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, but his three pictures for Cannon were career killers. Cannon had a repu...

The Theory of Two Truths in Tibet - RSS

May 28th, 2022

[Revised entry by Sonam Thakchoe on May 28, 2022. Changes to: Main text, Bibliography] Tibetan philosophers argue that the two truths theory is not only core ontological doctrine as it is understood within the Indian Buddhist thought, it also makes the central theory behind epistemology and soteriology. The Indian Buddhist schools are named after the theories of the two truths they each upheld as in the entry on the theory of the two truths in India. The same cannot be said about the schools ...

Rather, they are characterized by the development and application of mathematical, compu...

Personhood in Classical Indian Philosophy - RSS

January 3rd, 2022

[New Entry by Monima Chadha on January 3, 2022.] Selves and persons are often used as synonyms in contemporary philosophy, and sometimes also in the history of Western philosophy. This is almost never the case in classical Indian philosophical traditions. The Sanskrit term 'ātman' properly translated as self stands for whatever it is that is the essence of individual humans (manuṣya) or the psychophysical complex (pudgala) which includes the mind, body and sense organs. There is di...

The Paradox of Suspense - RSS

October 26th, 2021

[Revised entry by Aaron Smuts on October 26, 2021. Changes to: Main text, Bibliography] The ultimate success of Hollywood blockbusters is dependent upon repeat viewings. Fans return to theaters to see films multiple times and buy DVDs so they can watch movies yet again. Although it is something of a received dogma in philosophy and psychology that suspense requires uncertainty, many of the biggest box office successes are action movies that fans claim to find suspenseful on repeated viewings....

Merged film studies notes

February 9th, 2021

'Iron Trees Grow from Filament' As a novice newspaper reporter I was naïve. I assumed my colleagues loved words as much as I do. Not flowery language or gaudy poeticizing, and certainly not heartfelt cliches, which are always embarrassing, but words artfully precise. There’s a thrill to arranging words with concision so they render meaning with vividness and without unintentional ambiguity. Yet most of the reporters I knew treated words with indifference. Some seemed to distrust and ...
