Are you one of the many authors proudly self-publishing on Kindle? Merrily celebrating having cast aside the shackles of the big publishing houses and their creative, or maybe not-so-creative, demands?
It may behoove you to think again. Here’s how Parul Sehgal put it in The New Yorker for newyorker.com on October 25th:
Paul Krugman isn’t someone whose name is associated with film/TV criticism, but he’s written a wonderful review of Dune calling it “…the Movie We Always Wanted” in the subscriber-only newsletter of none other than the illustrious New York Times that actually made Gwen and me ante up and watch the film.
Since the newsletter may not be accessible to all of you, I’ll quote the more salient points (defined as, “well, hey, they impressed me) here:
What makes “Dune” more than an ordinary space opera are two things: its subtlety and the richness of its world-building.
The good news: The Invisible Man – the newly released version gog-only-knows.0 – is a hell of a film, and in spite of the title the hero is a woman played by the wonderful Elizabeth Moss.
The not so good news: In order to get the film made, the filmmakers had to do the “Man” title thing.
Ah well, someday, right?
Joshua Hudson AKA Josh Hudson AKA The Hudsonian returns with another review that we think you’ll find intriguing. We know we did.
So Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist popped up on my Hulu yesterday. After seeing a few people post about it and having some time to kill yesterday, I decided to check it out.
Way back in the mid 20-teens, Joshua Hudson did quite a few interesting and popular TV and film reviews for us. Imagine our joy when we discovered this particular one on his Facebook page. Hi, Josh!
Finally saw Birds of Prey yesterday. My initial reaction: it was a fun movie and the action sequences were fantabulous.
