Thanks much for the shout-out Joel! All I can say here is that it's an amazing blend of the classic and the contemporary and of a number of different stles and genre, and you've handled the pieces with similar artistic excellence in that ever-probing and challenging style you have perfected both in your reviews and comments. I look forward to your continuing output and am honored to post them at WitD.
"Hi:
Two things
1) I’d like your permission to (re)print your article on Frontline for our website
2) I was hoping we could use your ‘scribing’ talent for our website.
The Best Shows Youre Not Watching (dot) com [all one word]
Frontline is one of our featured shows. We’re hoping to round up a few people who can occasionally contribute perspective (via an article/blog) on the shows – maybe a recent episode, future direction, plot shortcomings etc.
What’s in it for you?
Primarily a larger audience back channeled to your blog. We don’t pay but the site has a lot of promise and we're pretty excited about getting it off the ground. Let me know what you think.
Thanks
(Best Show),
I would definitely be interested in that opportunity. Please e-mail me at movieman0283@gmail.com so we can discuss further.
Thanks
I've changed the introduction as it's out of date. Here's what it originally read:
This is a list of all the reviews (and some of the features) I've written for the Examiner.com, including quite a few classics un-discussed on The Dancing Image. I've also written about foreign film screenings, independent features (and faux-indies), and documentaries. And there's more coming: in the next week, I'm planning a piece analyzing Death on Venice (in book and movie form), and hopefully a review of the film For the Love of Movies, a documentary about film criticism which has engendered some buzz and controversy. After that, I hope to take a new approach, publishing shorter reviews (about three paragraphs, with synopsis, analysis, and further thoughts) every day, so keep coming to the site: I'm planning to make it my home for regular reviews, leaving this blog for grander and more esoteric adventures, ever-glowing over the horizon (we'll get there someday, folks, I promise...).
I would also like thank to Sam Juliano at the great site Wonders in the Dark for linking to these every week. If you have not yet visited his blog, on which colleague Allan Fish is counting down the best movies of every decade (from his extraordinarily well-versed perspective), I encourage you to do so immediately. Furthermore, I should thank the folks at DVD-Beaver, whence most of these appealing images are derived.
Admittedly, I hoped to post this next week, after the Death in Venice and For the Love of Movies pieces were published, immediately preceding the shift to shorter reviews. However, I was unable to satisfactorily complete the piece I had planned for today, a celebration of one of my favorite (albeit relatively unknown) books. That will be up next week, so stay tuned.
In the mean time, I'm also hoping to participate in Tony Dayoub's extremely promising Brian De Palma blog-a-thon, in a somewhat unusual fashion. See you there.
Here are my reviews (the list will be continually updated with new links, so bookmark if you wish.)
As of 11/25:
I have again streamlined and updated the intro to this piece, leaving it as simple as possible. Here was the revised intro:
