The writer of the blog Marc St.-Cyr gives titles of a couple...

No you can send it early.

Okay, I'll be glad to look at it and comment.

I'd be interested in seeing what you have to say about Antonioni. Is your topic still ambiguous endings? He was the sort of artist who must have been conscious of metaphorical implications, I...

Thanks for this info, Oscar. I'll look into the open access 2009 download. Have you written about Antonioni, or is that coming?

I would second Oscar on Celebrity--pretty forgettable.

You're quite right; Altman is the starting point, and before Altman others swung back and forth among scenes and situations too. But with young directors Altman is now an influence through Anderson....

Come on, man, the rain of frogs is absolutely ridiculous! Not sure it's "justified"? You're being too serious. I am convinced that Anderson is a genious, pretty much a prodigy--and that closing...

I agree almost totally on your favorites. except I would rate Magnolia up there. I consider it a masterpiece.
