This is a pity because, as Film Quarterly Writer-at-Large NINA POWER and editor ROB WHITE discuss (resuming a dialogue begun here in regard to von Trier’s Antichrist), Melancholia is a rich, fascinating, and radical work. ]]> Wed, 11 Jan 2012 06:07:49 -0700 http://www.filmquarterly.org/2012/01/lars-von-triers-melancholia-a-discussion/ Squeeze http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUzHrqabDtk&feature=youtube_gdata ]]> Mon, 09 Jan 2012 04:03:20 -0700 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUzHrqabDtk&feature=youtube_gdata Orson Wells Meets HG Wells http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUdghSMTXsU&feature=youtube_gdata ]]> Fri, 02 Dec 2011 03:52:13 -0700 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUdghSMTXsU&feature=youtube_gdata Metalosis Maligna - An Extraordinary disease http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtXMyAOop3s&feature=youtube_gdata ]]> Sun, 27 Nov 2011 04:16:45 -0700 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtXMyAOop3s&feature=youtube_gdata 2016 - Ghana Movie Trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXtOnRbNcmc&feature=youtube_gdata ]]> Mon, 14 Nov 2011 08:27:05 -0700 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXtOnRbNcmc&feature=youtube_gdata iwdrm: “On the other side of the screen, it all looks so... http://tumblr.machinemachine.net/post/11322222225

Which are the best ones? Also, *that* footprint... For a project I am working on, I want to isolate the moment in Robinson Crusoe where he discovers the savage footprint, imprinted in the sand, for the first time.

In the book this footprint is discovered quite a few years before Friday arrives. It signifies the first time Crusoe realises that there are 'others' visiting his Kingdom.

It has been critically engaged with by the likes of Umberto Eco, Susan Stewart (two times) and Simon O'Sullivan.

Imagining this evacuation, I see a person alone in a self-chosen shelter, motionless on a chair, like a houseplant with prehensile thumbs. ]]> Thu, 29 Sep 2011 03:55:48 -0700 http://www.frieze.com/issue/article/blame-it-on-andy/ Brundlefly http://tumblr.machinemachine.net/post/10397814620

Today the genre is bigger, more diverse, and more lucrative than it was back then, but its films rarely shock or inspire as they once did. There are many good new scary movies, but few great ones.
