Metaphor and intertextuality in Philo

Pieter B. Hartog, ‘ The Ship of State: Metaphor and intertextuality in Philo of Alexandria,’ Journal for the Study of Pseudepigrapha 32.2 (2022) 187-204. Author’s Abstract: "This article discusses Philo’s use of the well-known state is ship metaphor. After offering a definition of topos and intertextuality, I discuss passages from the Philonic corpus in which this image features. I will argue that Philo’s use of the state is ship metaphor in most of his writings must be attributed to P...

Pale Blue Eye Review

The Pale Blue Eye is one of those movie titles that’s evocative yet teasingly vague — it makes the film sound like a Western based on a song by Lou Reed. Actually, the movie is based on Louis Bayard’s 2006 novel, which uses an 1830s military setting and murder mystery to frame a kind of origin myth of Edgar Allan Poe. At West Point, which in the early 19th century is basically a fort in the woods overlooking the Hudson River, a cadet suffers a violent death. He is cut down from a noose hangin...

How House of the Dragon Mirrors The Anarchy in England

Now that the hugely successful first season of HBO’s House of the Dragon has aired, it is safe for us to do an analysis of how much and how closely the events and characters mirrored those of actual history. It is no secret that George R.R. Martin drew inspiration for some of his storylines for the smash hit Game of Thrones from historic events, but what about the spin off, House of the Dragon ? Well, at a Comic-Con panel in 2022, Martin explained how G.O.T. had been loosely based around t...

Carmelina - Virgil and the screen

https://www.full-stop.net/2022/12/05/reviews/tyrone-williams/carmelina-figures-virgil-kills-stories-ronaldo-v-wilson/ That this superficial "screen" remains saturated with a brutally efficient and ongoing history is not lost on Virgil, a name which might simply be a synonym for lack, a bottom whose depths remain immeasurable

Grandpa Tibbles

Lovecraft derived his pseudonym ‘Lewis Theobald Jr.’, later ‘Grandpa Theobald’ and variants, from the pioneering but much put-upon Shakespeare scholar Lewis Theobald (1688-1744). I’ve now discovered a curious thing relating to this choice. The discovery occurred this way. I was looking at the early medieval talking-fox cycle Reynard the Fox as a source for Tolkien. Part of the evidence is found in one early version of Tolkien’s "The Tale of Tinuviel", in which the hero is enslaved by th...

Netflix’s 1899 fails where Dark succeeded - Polygon

1899 fails where Dark succeeded We wanted to love it, we really did [Ed. note: The following contains spoilers for the entirety of 1899 season 1 and Dark.] I love Dark, the German sci-fi show that nearly broke my brain as I worked overtime (literally) keeping track of its multiple timelines and complicated family tree. While many puzzle-box series lose their luster once everything’s been uncovered, after repeated viewings of the ...

Interview: Owen Kline on Archetypes and the Behavioral Humor of Funny Pages

Though Owen Kline’s famous pedigree immediately presents itself in his surname, the more pertinent parentage to Funny Pages is that of New York City’s repertory cinema scene. Shortly after his performance in Noah Baumbach’s The Squid and the Whale drew considerable acclaim, Kline opted to pursue visual art rather than dive deeper into acting. Between curatorial work at Anthology Film Archives and his exploration of creating underground comic art, a unique sensibility emerged. At the same t...

Terror and Trauma

By Ali Moosavi. I found this character tragic and moving. He had such a traumatic event happen to him and he couldn’t get free of it…. I think that’s something people can identify with…." –Michael Shannon There is a long tradition of movies about a woman or a man psychologically breaking down after living in a what is perceived to be a haunted property. The pinnacle of these movies are Polanski’s Repulsion (1965) and Kubrick’s The Shining (1980). Abandoned is a respectable l...

20best film noirs: From Double Indemnity to Shadow of a Doubt

The phrase film noir was first coined in 1946 by a group of French critics to describe the emerging movement of mainly black and white Hollywood films with dark, pessimistic themes and signature motifs such as alienated antiheroes, rain slicked streets, dark shadows and seductive femme fatales.Borrowing heavily from the hard-boiled but literary detective novels of Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler, film noir attracted some of cinema’s greatest craftsmen including Orson Welles, Howard Hawk...

The Bob Dylan connection in ‘The Big Lebowski’

As the City of Angels rises out of the desert and pans into view during the opening sequence of the Coen brothers’ masterpiece The Big Lebowski, we hear a conversational ode of sorts to ‘The Dude’. Within that opening stanza, in tones incongruous with the gaudy glow of the desert metropolis, Sam Elliot’s timeless timbre drawls out the following: "Sometimes there’s a man, well, he’s the man for his time and place, he fits right in there."  Throughout their career the oddball brothers of ...

In Wild At Heart, silver dollars play a coded role in hiring assassins. In the Secret Diary, a gold coin appears to Laura after she, perhaps possessed by BOB, rapes Harold Smith. On the way out of Harold’s, Mrs. Tremond’s grandson, Pierre, saw me and came up to me and pulled a gold coin out of my e...
