Kidder is marvellous in this. I'm a Superman fan and a 'Superman - The Movie' fan, but can't help feeling that some blockbusters operate like a tractor beam on actors' careers: refusing to let them return to the quirky work they were engaged in before signing on to them.

Each artist strives to show the saint being justly disinterested in the task of taking on Satan. With a sort of "I'm not enjoying this at all" expression on his face.

So, following Captain Atlantic's logic, the Holocaust wasn't a genocide either because the Nazis fed the vast majority of their victims and forced them to work in their factories...?

Lary, I've always assumed 'Rope' is largely the play filmed (?). Do you know if Hitch had to fight executives who wanted it to be opened out?

Saw the original for the first time in a long time on Saturday, and noticed that Hogarth’s pug was called Trump.

Please note: this isn’t intended to rubbish genre writing. Quite the opposite.

Genre-ism Some write in the style of a particular genre. It’s possible to read in genre style, too. Undemandingly. Ignoring ideas. Noticing genre tricks and tics only. Checking off rather than checking in. Then disparaging the lot. #Writer #writingcommmunity #writing #writings #wip #philosophy
