It's the opposite of everything we've been told.<br /><br />I like your film because that image is beautiful and you know it.<br /><br />I'm having my own movie-writing crisis, seemingly different from yours. Movies are still speaking to me, but sometimes I feel as if people are so naturally, intrinsically different that they can't use each other's aesthetic structures, no matter how well thought out. Then I lie down until the feeling goes away....Dan Sallitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13136066978329749513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20326335.post-39109043980749459642009-05-18T19:12:00.000-04:002009-05-18T19:12:00.000-04:00Craig, Kate Bush is calling to you: 'don't give up...Craig, Kate Bush is calling to you: 'don't give up'!<br /><br />99% male ADRIANAdrianhttp://www.rouge.com.aunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20326335.post-82691936488622503102009-05-18T14:17:00.000-04:002009-05-18T14:17:00.000-04:00ok, so thats:

For Swanberg, most recently, which became the introduction to those films for me. For Godard, in the past. <br /><br />My role here has been to learn from you, but in secret. Who knows how many others are in this role. And it's not enough, because it gives the sense of talking in an empty room. <br /><br />Now the comment from Lauren, who runs 'Serge Daney in English': I fill the same role there. So, I want to say, these sites are essential. If they petrified tomorrow I suppose it would be the same, but I await the updates like little else on the internet. To a point where I'm looking at 'Social Olympics' - like 'Hannah Takes The Stairs' - as some sort of direction forward. And maybe it is, and the direction goes away from all this.<br /><br />Belated thank you, Craig.

I've been writing <A HREF="http://sergedaney.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">Serge Daney in English</A> since 2005 and have considered stopping it several times, only to find that there's a core group of people who actually follow, read and use it. Just about 150 to 200 people. Some "Movie-Cultists, the Cinephiles or even the Aesthetico-Plastico-Dogmatists" for sure but not just them.<br /><br />For what it's worth, I'd be sorry not to read your blog anymoreLaurenthttp://sergedaney.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20326335.post-83582973641211507742009-05-17T05:12:00.000-04:002009-05-17T05:12:00.000-04:00Although I don't know if I may be a part of the Mo...Although I don't know if I may be a part of the Movie-Cultists, the Cinephiles or even the Aesthetico-Plastico-Dogmatists (I would only feel at ease myself in the second group)which so bother you, I'm sorry to learn that you seem to be considering not going on with this blog, which I take a look every day to check whether you have added something new. It worries me the increasing early deserion rate I observe in blogs, coincidentally with the supression or diminishing of criticism in print media: you're not the first, won't be the last. I would only understand your discouragement (after all, to fight that feeling of uselessness seems to me one of the requirements of criticism) if you simply preferred to make films yourself. I like, by the way, "Social Olympics", which shows, despite obvious lack of means, an adventurous use of light much missed in recent American movies, although I have the feeling I wwould have liked it better with direct sound and the girls talking. Wish you luck, anyhow.<br />Miguel MaríasAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
