Film Art
I finally received my used copy of Film Art from Powell’s. It’s a little dog-eared but I’m not complaining (it was under $25 including shipping). Since it’s an introductory textbook, I figure I’ll just read it from beginning to end and then figure out where to go next. Each chapter ends with a section that suggests where to go for further reading. So, this ought to give me a good idea of where to carry on from here.
Into the fourth chapter, one thing is for certain–I need to watch Citizen Kane again. But, No Country for Old Men just came out on DVD and I want to watch that again, too. And, I’ve got to watch The Assassination of JJ by the CRF so I can exchange it at BB for something else so I can finally cancel my BB Online membership and move over to Netflix. And, as I read through Film Art and browse film blogs and film magazines, my List of Movies to Watch grows ever bigger. So much to see…not enough time.
