“Author Christopher McKittrick makes a persuasive case for celebrating the consummate professional Miles became rather than mourning the icon she never was….”
Thanks to @FilmInt & @ThomasPuhr for the review of my book about VERA MILES! #classicfilm

Wanted to exercise my 100-words muscles a bit: it's been a minute. Some thoughts on Alexandre Koberidze's beguiling 'What Do We See When We Look at the Sky?'

An excerpt from a fascinating 2022 book by @ThomasPuhr from Wallflower Press's Short Cuts series, FATE IN FILM: A DETERMINISTIC APPROACH TO CINEMA. Not surprisingly, given the topic, many of the films discussed are #horror films @ColumbiaUP

A truly great horror film is scary both in the moment and in retrospect, and usually for very different reasons. Case in point: The Exorcist, whose family dynamics are deeply unsettling upon rewatch.
"We know we're serving you garbage," those behind Deadpool & Wolverine seem to be saying, "so that makes it okay." Their ironic self-awareness isn't fun but weirdly defensive and cynical.
