My new blog

Blogging headquarters has moved from this site to a new location, The Sun's Not Yellow (here's one for all you Dylan fans out there: can you name what the sun is?)

My new blog will provide me an outlet for short reviews, announcements and random notations, while reserving The Dancing Image for weightier pieces (as I hoped to do back in April). It should be a fun, light-hearted, and engaging endeavor, and I encourage all of you to add the new site to your blogroll - it will be a central station for all my work on the internet and include a great deal of fresh content as well.

A great passage from Dickens
A short response to You Only Live Once
A nostalgic look back at an anti-drug film of my youth (anyone else remember this?)
A short response to WALL-E

Pay a visit and to comment if you've anything to say - or perhaps even if you don't!

In accordance with the fresh start, I've also cleared the front page of The Dancing Image. If you're new to the site, here were the highlights of the past few months so they don't get lost in the shuffle:

Reading the Movies, the follow-up, and a spin-off
My favorite characters in movie history
Links and reprints:
To a fantastic book introduction and several excellent essays from Francois Truffaut
To the Wonders in the Dark countdowns
To my own updated Astaire-Rogers videos
And to my own work composed elsewhere - a 25th Hour review and a video tribute to Brian De Palma

That should clear the deck. Here's to moving forward... Read more!
