What's Up
I'm taking a film photography class. It's very basic right now but I'm being patient. Fundamentals are important.
Check it:
- My new favorite blog, counter critic. Makes reading about the arts fun.
- The Skandie annual movie poll is under way. Click this link, Mike D'Angelo's blog, where he is currently doing the slow reveal. His posts contain the Best Scene clips. (As of this writing, we're at the 15th--out of 20--place winners.) Here is my ballot.
- Alex Ross was on Charlie Rose. And Colbert. He did not look entirely at ease in the latter. "Do you have any rock & roll in this damn book?"
- Kurt Loder is a libertarian. (Text version.)
- TV Club at Slate: The Wire. I'm still feeling this season out--you feel me?--but my favorite moment so far was Marlo's double-take in Levy's office. "You ever find that camera?"

Any chance you could explain the complete difference in order between your top ten and your actual best-film votes?
Some sort of tactical voting going on?

That's exactly it. I throw more points toward films/people I either feel extremely strongly about or toward those I feel might need a little boost. For example, I'm guessing lots of folks will give points to NO COUNTRY, BLOOD, and ZODIAC.
That said, the exact pointage (e.g. 6 v. 5 points) is a little arbitrary, I admit.

Great article on Counter Critic. Thanks for the suggestion.
