Today's "go there, read this" candidate comes from the excellent Eric Skillman of the Criterion Collection, who posted his answers to 20+ questions a graphic design undergrad asked about his sweet gig. An excerpt: 15. The films obviously dictate the...

Two ephemeral traces of cinema's secret history: Portable Grindhouse: The Lost Art of the VHS Box (Fantagraphics) is "a feast for exploitation cognoscenti, reprinting some of the most louche, decadent, minimo-pervo artwork to ever grace a VHS box." [via] This...

Who knew? New Yorker scribe Susan Orlean [whom I've long since forgiven for throwing my undergraduate institution under the bus--literally] was part of the Shaker Heights [OH] cohort that first embraced movies & filmstrips in the classroom--Project Discovery from 1965....

In which the cinetrix says, go there, do this. Pre-Code Joan Crawford in Letty Linton (1932), via the Siren Quentin Tarantino's My Best Friend's Birthday (1987). K-Billy, string ties, and suicide! What's on Werner Herzog's iPod? [Still laughing over "Grizzly...

My pal Hugo Perez shot this Read Kiddo Read spot, wherein Jason Schwartzman and his Fox alter ego Ash extol the joys of reading to the younger set. Though I'm guessing probably not "Lamb to the Slaughter" or the works...

So Shane Acker, the director of 9, the dystopian animated flick about the wee burlap numbered steampunk creatures, gave a talk on campus last night, which I missed. However, the bartender at my local informs me self-same Acker will be...

OK, the cinetrix hasn't the concentration to write. At all. But! She still can read. And so can you. Or, you know, just watch. After all, his eminence Andre Bazin says that shots in depth encourage more active viewing. Indie...

Apparently you can't shill schmatte anymore without value-added content, preferably arts related, which, I think we can all agree, is downright weird. Until such time as Obama institutes another W.P.A.-stylee arts initiative, anyway. So, hard on the heels of Built...

From Film in Focus's Nick Dawson comes the reminder that today is the birthday of Parker Posey [and her twin brother]. I plan on observing it by resolving to ask myself every day, in every way, what would Parker Posey...

From Fantasia (1940). I've scheduled this to post at the same time the funeral mass for my grandfather starts. Many moments over the past few weeks have felt like its first seven minutes. Here's hoping today marks the beginning of...

OK, David Bordwell's piece regarding phallic symbols in movies is a fairly amusing read. [Not as amusing as the hard-ons fanboy academics get trying to one-up one another when talking, ahem, "shot lengths" with their hero, but, you know, what...
