Art Blog: So many musicians, so little time

http://edwardbatchelder.blogspot.com/2008/04/many-musicians.html

Sunday, April 13, 2008. So many musicians, so little time. It's been ages since I posted here, which signifies partly a lack of inspiration and partly a lot of travel followed by a deluge of editorial work to pay for it. I finally managed to keep it all at bay for a few days so I could churn out some reviews of things I've been listening to recently— Cuong Vu. A Vietnamese-born, American-raised trumpeter whose work investigates sonic regions usually left unexplored by jazz musicians; Haale. Collection to...

Art Blog: Nora Ephron—Julie & Julia

http://edwardbatchelder.blogspot.com/2009/08/nora-ephronjulie-julia.html

Friday, August 14, 2009. Nora Ephron— Julie and Julia. I never thought it would come to this—that I would actually be holding up legendary French TV-chef Julia Child as a model of strong-willed womanhood. Yet that’s the only conclusion I can come to after seeing Julie and Julia. A film that traces the quasi-parallel lives of Julia Child and Julie Powell, a thirty-year-old New Yorker who decides to cook every one of the 524 recipes in Child’s iconic Mastering the Art of French Cooking. Another way of putt...

Art Blog: Michael Cacoyannis—Zorba the Greek

http://edwardbatchelder.blogspot.com/2009/06/michael-cacoyanniszorba-greek_07.html

Sunday, June 7, 2009. Michael Cacoyannis— Zorba the Greek. Back in the days before Nia Vardalos’s My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Became the standard Hellenic reference point for American audiences, there was Michael Cacoyannis’s Zorba the Greek. There’s another irony to Zorba. Is, in fact, one of his few films to even feature a male protagonist. Of his fifteen feature-length works, over ten place women in the starring roles, including his three adaptations of Greek tragedies— Elektra. Buddy films “repla...

Art Blog: Michael Cacoyannis—Attila 1974: The Rape of Cyprus

http://edwardbatchelder.blogspot.com/2009/06/michael-cacoyannisatilla-1974-rape-of.html

Saturday, June 6, 2009. Michael Cacoyannis— Attila 1974: The Rape of Cyprus. Journalism is, in the words of Donald Graham, chairman and CEO of The Washington Post, “the first, rough draft of history.”. The other implication of Graham’s quote is that, since journalism is only the “first, rough draft,” the journalist should be given some leeway if he or she gets a few things wrong. Part of Cyprus’s problem is that its history is remembered only in pieces—the Greek Cypriots remember the 1974 inv...Though Ca...

Art Blog: Martin Kippenberger—Zuerst die Füsse (First the Feet)

http://edwardbatchelder.blogspot.com/2008/08/martin-kippenbergerzuerst-die-fsse.html

Friday, August 29, 2008. Martin Kippenberger— Zuerst die Füsse (First the Feet). One thing I've noticed about blasphemic art—by which everyone usually means: art that blasphemes Christianity—is that nearly all of it has been created by Catholics. (I don't know Kippenberger's religion, but he comes from a Catholic region of Germany.) This has to be factored into the debate about artworks that offend non-Christian religions, most of which originate from outside. Saturday, June 12, 2010 at 3:24:00 AM EDT.

Thursday, March 24, 2011. David Lewis-Williams and David Pearce— Inside the Neolithic Mind: Consciousness, Cosmos, and the Realm of the Gods. I thought of this “which-comes-first-the-chicken-or-the-egg” debate again while reading Inside the Neolithic Mind. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Nora Ephron—Julie and Julia. Eric Ambler—A Coffin for Dimitrios. Michael Cacoyannis—Zorba the Greek. Michael Cacoyannis—Attila 1974: The Rape of Cyprus. Martin Kippenberger—Zuerst die Füsse (First the Feet).

Art Blog: Walker, Texas Ranger — NCIS

http://edwardbatchelder.blogspot.com/2011/03/walker-texas-ranger-ncis.html

Thursday, March 31, 2011. Walker, Texas Ranger — NCIS. I think it’s important to have a TV show that you watch at least semi-regularly, and preferably, one that’s not very good. No high-end Mad Men. Here, but rather something so basic and primitive that it’s like walking out into the vast cultural wasteland of television, choosing an ordinary, mid-sized rock, and hitting yourself over the head with it. No program was better in this regard than Walker, Texas Ranger. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
