Jim Emerson's Scanners Blog

Bad form

| | Comments (0)

I just learned from a reader that somebody has posted some of my Scanners comments about Jonathan Rosenbaum's "Bobby" review (involving his comparisons to "Nashville") under my name at Rosenbaum's blog in the Chicago Reader. I've written to Jonathan to explain that it wasn't me. I may take issue with what somebody writes, but I would never simply double-post my own stuff on their blog. If I had something else to say to them, I'd at least address them directly and write something original in their own comments section. Sheesh.

epigraphs

"I don't think you go to a play to forget, or to a movie to be distracted. I think life generally is a distraction and that going to a movie is a way to get back, not go away." -- Tom Noonan

"Cinema is a matter of what's in the frame and what's out." -- Martin Scorsese

“An idea does not exist apart from the words that express it. Style is not an envelope enclosing a message; the envelope is the message.” -- Dwight Macdonald

"There's nothing I like less than bad arguments for a view that I hold dear." -- Daniel Dennett
