That’s the view from my office this morning. Snow. Just a flurry, but snow nonetheless.
If you have concerns about the film adaptation of Love in the Time of Cholera, they are not unfounded. Nor are your trepidations about Beowulf.
Just when I get my panties in a bunch about David Denby’s remarks about silent film (“movies became more realistic, more ‘psychological’” in the sound period) in the New Yorker, the magazine goes and publishes a smart little DVD notes bit on silents by Richard Brody. It begins, “The psychological subtlety of the silent cinema owes much to a complex visual grammar that DW Griffith employed to tell surprisingly old-fashioned stories.” That’s more like it.
No Country for Old Men still not playing in Pittsburgh.
I’m jealous of your snow!
I hope that snow stays over there with you for awhile. Over here in New York, I’m not ready for my winter coat just yet.
Also, thanks for the link yesterday, I love your site and I’m glad you enjoyed the NBA coverage. It was a lot of fun.
Not a surprise. No Country for Old Men is probably the only adaption this year that’s going to be any good. The trailer looks great.
Hmmm, glad you got some snow… Here in St Louis, it’s been 70 outside! I played a some hooky today to get my last hour of glorious sunshine for the next couple of months.
Like the pic – very Andrew Sullivan ala “View From Your Window”.
Hope you are doing well.
Oh Pittsburgh. So much siding, single-family homes much too close together and grey greyness.
I will actually be there at the end of next month. Maybe NCFOM will be out by then…
