A couple small points, stepping back from the brink of politics and religion, to talk about films and film writing in the upcoming months...
First - this should be a busy weekend pour moi, though I am always nervous about declaring Wher I Will Be in the coming hours and days (especially when I have not yet bought tickets). But odds are, a good part of the weekend you will find me at the Harvard Film Archive, watching the works of Pedro Costa, with Mr. Costa in attendance.
Second - a nice month for Rivette fans: big writeups in not one but two serious film magazines! Film comment - CinemaScope. Bless them all! And hope the film comes out.
Third - I've again shamelessly swiped Edward Copeland's list of upcoming blogathons for my own sidebar item. It's a good crop: there's a good variety to it - thematic blogathons (Film and Faith), technical/aesthetic issues (The close Up), critical blogathons (the double bill-a-thon, say: a very interesting idea), plus films - actors, directors, etc, from high and low (a bit more high than low in this group, with Kurosawa and It's a Wonderful Life getting their dues.) It looks like there will be quite a bit to read in the next few months.
December 16: in honor of its 24-7 presence on the airwaves, a day for It's A Wonderful Life, at Cinemathetics.
November 15-22: work up a Thanksgiving appetite with a week of Kurosawa movies at Film Squish!
November 10: A Bob Fosse fest at Forward to Yesterday.
November 7-9, 2007: Film and Faith blogathon at Strange Culture.
October 22-26: The Broken Projector's Double Bill-a-thon - write about 2 films for the price of one!
October 17: Honor Montgomery Clift, at Film Experience.
October 12-21: Close-Up Blogathon, at The House Next Door.
