I have long known and admired the Chicago Reader’s film critic, Jonathan Rosenbaum, but his recent attack on filmmaker Ingmar Bergman in the New York Times is a bizarre departure from his usual sanity. It says more about Rosenbaum’s love of stylistic extremes than it does about Bergman and audiences. Who else but Rosenbaum could actually base an attack on the complaint that Bergman had what his favorites Carl Theodor Dreyer and Robert Bresson lacked, “the power to entertain — which often meant a reluctance to challenge conventional filmgoing habits”? In what parallel universe is the power to entertain defined in that way?

Hey folks, Harry here… The coolest thing about traveling the country is typing the miles away chatting with all my friends around the world, reading emails and watching miles and miles of porn. For the 7900 miles we’ve gone over so far… it’s been a blast.

Now - recently you got a true life look at Edgar Wright. And I called it as I see it. Now there’s no denying his Prick-ishness. But, he’s a lovable prick. In fact, he’s the sort of prick you’d love to swish around in your mouth and just snuggle with. And to demonstrate what a prick he is - he’s doing a double feature of SHAUN OF THE DEAD and HOT FUZZ… technically, a quadruple feature of HOT FUZZ and SHAUN OF THE DEAD - that he’s doing an intro and a Q&A for… And why is he doing this? Because, he’s a caring, loving and adorable prick that just doesn’t quit cumming up with ways to care. And if there’s one thing that Edgar Wright cares about, it’s anything and everything about films, the audience and filmmaking.

Hey folks, Harry here - which is 85mph somewhere between Hickory & Morganton, North Carolina heading into DELIVERANCE country… so this could be nigh the last thing I ever post before doing the piggy scream… but enough of Yoko and mine’s private bedroom habits. — As I’m on this trip - there’s plenty I miss… all the current DVDs, HD-DVDs and TV events. Then I speed across this map missing the key geek events like San Diego and Wizard World in Chicago…. why… last night in Baltimore - as I was enjoying the hell out of the John Waters fest - I learned about a Horror Convention in town and was invited by The Great And Powerful Wizard of Oz to attend… Alas - I stayed true to the Roadshow and had a blast! Meanwhile - like many of you, I hate missing not being everywhere at everything… so let’s give it up to The Goddamned Batman for reporting on this… sounds awesome!
