Post includes only about 30% of the full post which will be coming Friday. The parts you see here will be improved then as well. I post these preview posts mostly because I don’t like to go that long without a post. Updates The news everywhere is negative, but looks can be deceiving. There is a great contradiction between the way things look and reality, but it’s this way because it has to be this way. The comms explain that much of what we see is a lie and that inc...

He mopes, he neglects his weekend son Mike, he moves into a truly soulless apartment (typical architect). He hangs on to the hope that her story isn't ove...
More old TV, and something you might call Portrait of the Artist as an Old Man. Miró: Theatre of Dreams is a documentary about the Spanish (or as he might have preferred, Catalan) artist Joan Miró. This was broadcast by the BBC in 1978, and again in 1984, but it’s one I hadn’t seen until now. Robin Lough’s film was the first television profile of the artist in which Miró talks at length with his British friend, Roland Penrose, an artist and writer who did much to champion Surrealism in its ea...
Great animation, adorable critters, and the underlying thought-provoking themes at play make Sundance film The Amazing Maurice charming, if not amazing. I was able to chat with one of the directors, Toby Genkel, of the Sundance Film Festival 2023 pick, The Amazing Maurice. It’s a funny, wonderfully animated film that dangled some deeper, emotional themes. I talked to him about those elements, the difficulty of an adaptation such as this, the message he’s hoping viewers will take away, and ...
Today I Learned Something About My Boyfriend That No Girl Should Ever Have to DiscoverMark was the stuff of dreams Mark was the stuff of dreams.

I found out something about Mark that will forever change my opinion about him, and my ability to trust men has been forever shattered.Shortly after dinner, my best friend Jessica calle...
‘A Rose for Emily’ by William Faulkner contains some memorable characters besides Emily herself. Even the narrator is a curious creation and deserving of further discussion, since Faulkner does some interesting things with narrative in his short story. Let’s take a closer look at the characters in ‘A Rose for Emily’, both great and small, central and peripheral, and explore their significance to the overall story, as well as the part they play in its plot. The Narrator The n...

IN THE WINTER OF 1972, around the time Manhattan gallerygoers were immersing themselves in Memory—a sprawling installation comprising over a thousand tiled photographs and several hours of tape-recorded text amassed by the American poet Bernadette Mayer—the French writer of memory Annie Ernaux and her then-husband, Philippe, bought a Bell and Howell Super 8 camera. Mayer, who died this year and who in life seemed ahead of the future, once imagined "a computer or device that could record every...
The original version of this tale was a short story, "Broncho Billy and the Baby", which appeared in The Saturday Evening Post in 1910 and was the basis for an Essanay short film of the same name. The short story is credited as the basis for Kyne’s later novel ‘The Three Godfathers’ in 1913; an online version is dated 1916 and would seem no longer than the original story. Set in Arizona, the basic plot has a gang of bank robbers stumble on a covered wagon where a dying woman entrusts her ba...

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...
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...

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...
