Links July 30

Being completely lazy and without discipline, and trying to work out the best way to use Newsfire (since it rather messes up my favored Save-It-For-Later device, the Shared Google page), I shall have recourse to a links roundup. Of course as usual, this takes as long as a real post would have....

Budd Boetticher's Seminole DVD - Glenn Kenny, at the Auteur's Notebook.

Watching silent movies online, from The Bioscope.

David Cairns explores the horror of Sea Monkeys.

TCM's blog examines Written on the Wind.

Grand hotel Screenshots at Sixmartinis and the Seventh Art.

And a Rug Rats Blogathon, I just found.

In other news, Orson Scott Card is crazy.

Pacze Moj writes about the Olympics, politics, and money.

And oh yeah - new Tor site, with an all star cast.

Finally - and anticipating a real post here, I hope -Dennis Lim's history of the fight scene in Slate is getting a lot of attention. For example - Glenn Kenny - Screengrab - David Cohen at Anne Thompson's Variety blog - to pick three I remembered to bookmark.

Lawyers, Guns and Money, meanwhile, takes on both Lim's fight post, and A.O. Scott's dismissal of the superhero film. Putting the two together like that reminds me: Lim's big How To Stage A Fight Scene example - Oldboy - IS a superhero film. At least as much as any Batman is.
