Burning Patience (2022) Netflix Movie Review

Share this Article Burning Patience (2022): Romance is a genre that I have often observed people either loving or hating. Some find the fantasy elusive, while the same elusiveness makes some others cherish it. Often poets, artists, and other mental gymnasts spend their days and nights professing their love of love. ‘Burning Patience’ is a story borne out of similar minds. The movie is adapted from Antonio Skármeta’s book of the same name. We witness a story of two lovers who fall ...

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

Guillermo del Toro - Pinocchio - Imbues story with historical darkness

Of the numerous films Federico Fellini was unable to make in his lifetime, his version of Carlo Collodi’s 1883 novel The Adventures of Pinocchio is perhaps the one he most lamented. Characteristically nonconformist as a kid, Fellini disliked books, which he associated with adults and school, and "school did not seem to be something that opened up the world," he said in I, Fellini, "but something that closed it, something that interfered with my freedom and imprisoned me for the longest and be...

Carmelina: Figures & Virgil Kills: Stories – Ronaldo V. Wilson

NOTE: See below for this great quote. -zas"The dick, itself, is not remarkable—that it is there is what actually matters."If "Lineage is different/ from rhetorical sequence," as Ronaldo Wilson claims in Carmelina: Figures, then one issue raised by this assertion is the relationship between these two phenomena, between genetic and narrative grammars and syntaxes, especially when narration takes up bloodlines in an attempt to "describe the impossible." Impossibility is, here, the rubric for a b...

Renaissance science – XLVI

One area that is not usually counted among the sciences is cryptography, lying as it does, in this day and age, between, logic, mathematics, and informatics. In earlier times it is perhaps best viewed as a part of logic. Perhaps surprisingly, cryptography underwent a major development during the Renaissance provoked by an earlier development in the hands of Islamicate scholars.Cryptography means literally hidden writing, coming from the Greek kryptos meaning hidden and graphiameaning write, e...

In Praise of Tears - A Short Intellectual History

Written by Georgia Smith"In Praise of Tears  Pleurer / crying  The amorous subject has a particular propensity to cry; the functioning and appearance of tears in this subject.  …  Who will write the history of tears? In which societies, in which periods have we wept? Since when is it that men (and not women) no longer cry? Why was ‘sensibility’, at a certain moment, transformed into ‘sentimentality’?" Roland Barthes, A Lover’s Discourse (1978)  For Barthes "the amorous body is doubled by a hi...

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...

Uncovering the Myths of the Diamond Industry

It’s become burrowed in our psyche: the necessity of a diamond ring when it comes to marriage proposals. Not to mention the most prized gift a significant other could desire no matter the situation. When did this idea begin? And in an industry where synthetic, man-made diamonds are on the rise, what is the future for value of the product? All these questions (and many more) are answered in Jason Kohn’s new documentary Nothing Lasts Forever. A perfect double-feature with Uncut Gems, the entert...

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 ...

Commenting on Hollywood From Within Hollywood

Universal Pictures/Ringer illustration The new movie documenting two female journalists’ investigation into Harvey Weinstein is thorough and at times even powerful. But how do you reconcile the fact that Weinstein’s behavior was enabled by the silence of Hollywood with that same industry’s impulse to make a film about his demise? Once Harvey Weinstein’s crimes—and the larger picture of a system that allowed them to persist—became public, the film industry didn’t wait long to sta...

Yes, Tár Is Real — Real Boring!

Focus Features The hot topic or mostly joke, on "Film Twitter" (don’t ask) this past week, has been over whether the Todd Field movie Tár, starring Cate Blanchett, is about a real person. The Cut titled their review "No, Lydia Tár Is Not Real," a nice companion piece for the countless explanations for why you’d have to be an idiot for believing that Lydia Tár was real, facetious jokes claiming she is real, and on and on. I can understand the impulse — both to wonder if Ly...

https://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/t/0/_/oupblog/~https://blog.oup.com/2022/10/hue-and-cry-or-the-mystery-of-red-gold/As a student, I read Homer in English and ran into the phrase wine-colored sea. At that time, I did not know that in Old English, waves were sometimes called brown and only wondered what kind of wine the Ancient Greeks drank. No one in my surroundings could enlighten me. Since that time, I have read many articles and books on the history of color perception and in 2014 even reviewe...

On the End of the Canon Wars

The highlight of my freshman year in college was a double-credit course where we read three books a week, starting with the ancient Greeks and ending with Virginia Woolf, for two whole semesters. It transformed my life for the better. I’d come to campus with a self-imposed mission to learn how to be a writer by becoming well-read; I left it a fanatic for a particular idea of what reading really means. All of who I am today is bound up with my unreconstructed belief that experiencing and discu...

Reloading Laughter: Žižek and a Theory of Comedy

Despite his reputation for telling jokes and the central role that humor plays in his philosophy, the Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Žižek does not have a theory of comedy. In his work, Žižek does not just tell jokes or explain the popularity of certain genres such as Holocaust comedy films. He has also made brief interventions in the theory of comedy that include mostly applications of Hegel’s theory of objective humor or Alenka Zupančič’s Hegelian theory of comedy. At the outset of the "The C...
