  1. @adaspota. Thank you for posting this! Edward James is a name more people should know. He was the #Surrealist patron of #Dali and #Magritte and the missing face in the mirror of Magritte's "La Reproduction interdite." I wrote an essay that's currently available through open access (thank you #JohnsHopkinsUP!) about James, Magritte, and #Poe's Pym, which is the book on the ledge in the Magritte painting. Here's the link to the Poe Studies essay: muse.jhu.edu/pub/1/article/864

  2. Sunday: Terence Stamp…It’s the wine it makes me sad.

    The world lost this man, Terence Stamp a week ago.

    Stamp was one of my favorite actors. I was introduced to him by my mother, she was fond of him as he was in one of her favorite films…Far From the Maddening Crowd.

    Having seen this film, before I first saw him in Superman when I was eight years old, I knew he was a big deal.

    I was lucky, my mom would take me to see old movies at the Tampa Theater when I was little…I’m talking real young. So I had already seen Stamp in Billy Budd as well as Far From the Maddening Crowd by 1978. That was when he had a small role in Superman. His larger screen presence would be two years later in Superman 2. It was his “come back” but honestly he was such a powerful actor…he never needed a come back.

    There are so many films that he was in: The Collector, The Limey, The Hit, Priscilla…his career spanned decades. Be sure to read up on his work below but my favorite role is actually his first. Billy Budd.

    Talk about a first role…this one gave Stamp a chance to show so many different sides to one character. It is a beautiful film. Here is Robert Osborne’s introduction to it:

  12. Richard Fariña: a lost genius who bridged the gap between beats and hippies
    (David Barnett / The Guardian).
    #RichardFariña

    He was Thomas Pynchon’s roommate, he hung out with Bob Dylan and wrote an American cult classic, yet Fariña is a name few know outside of literary circles. That’s something that should change.
