Cinema: The Archaeology of Film and the Memory of a Century
Jean-Luc GodardGreg Fantomas F.Here's my obit for Jean-Luc Godard, 1930-2022, for the Bulwark. No biographical details (that's what Wikipedia's for), just my thoughts on his astonishing contribution to the cinema. https://t.co/ZZcrQKWic3 via @BulwarkOnline

Cujo
Stephen KingGreg Fantomas F.I was as surprised as anyone to discover that Stephen King wrote CARRIE and THE SHINING. He also wrote, if this Newsweek article is to be believed, CUJO, PET SEMATARY, and SALEM'S LOT. Uh huh, right. Next you'll tell me he wrote THE STAND too. https://t.co/C1g4cIsBC7

Ghost Stories
Edith WhartonGreg Fantomas F.So I've recently read some Edith Wharton ghost stories, the latest being The Lady Maid's Bell, and they oddly unresolved. Too long to get into here but there is a lot of setup that you suspect is leading to a big reveal but is not. Hard to explain without a plot rehash.

Cosmos
Carl SaganGreg Fantomas F.@SuchAnOldtaku Yes, I got into in my teens at the same time I was getting into reading Carl Sagan and watching the Cosmos series. I was fascinated by Oppy's scientific ambition mixed with his sense of poetry and philosophy. The first doc I watched on it was Jon Else's The Day After Trinity.

The Artist of the Beautiful
Hawthorne NathanielGreg Fantomas F.For whatever reason, I decided to reread some Nathaniel Hawthorne lately and I really loved The Artist of the Beautiful. I may not have read that one before. Also gave Young Goodman Brown another read. Robert Eggers could probably make a pretty good movie out of that one.

Jaws
Peter BenchleyGreg Fantomas F.@easymoderome Yes, and I was just saying if you only saw the movie, you wouldn't know. That's it. Like if Peter Benchley said in an interview that Jaws was an anagram. Okay, great. But that doesn't change that within the context of the movie, it's not. That's all.

Dark Sun: The Making of the Hydrogen Bomb
Richard RhodesGreg Fantomas F.@NewsMC615 Richard Rhodes did two good books, THE MAKING OF THE ATOMIC BOMB and DARK SUN about the hydrogen bomb. I liked BROTHERHOOD OF THE BOMB a lot, too. DAY ONE is out of print and practically forgotten now, despite the movie. It may be due to Wyden's crackpottery... (cont.)
