I figured...Can't believe this thing got posted. I figured it would go missing like the Ugetsu review. <br /><br />Expanding on a classical Hollywood film such as The Third Man, The Searchers, or Citizen Kane is biggest difficulty I face while writing these post. Do I take a postmodern approach like Chuck Klosterman? Do I take it to super personal areas of ones own life like Nathan Rabin in his book "The Big Rewind"? <br /><br />When you guys go about writing about film, what is your strategy? Do you use a specific voice or theory to expand on a film?Alex Vnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4370880477643868883.post-1252005382290383282009-11-17T20:27:07.019-08:002009-11-17T20:27:07.019-08:00I've missed these columns.

Blake from Bitchin' Film Reviews mentioned that he'd like to hear about what classic films I'm watching, seeing as how I don't talk about them much on my site.<br /><br />I'll quite likely oblige him, since I do watch a lot of classics, however I had to smile when I read your post...since I don't write about too many classics for the very reason you mentioned. What can one say about them that hasn't already been said?<br /><br />I will say this - if you partake in Richard Linklater's upcoming film ME AND ORSON WELLES, you'll be treated to a rather cute THIRD MAN reference.<br /><br />Great post!Ryan McNeilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00440134802928893661noreply@blogger.com
