  1. RogerEbert.com: How to Define Freedom: Nia DaCosta on “Hedda”

    A gender-flipped version of Ibsen's "Hedda Gabler"? Interesting!

    "“Hedda” stars Tessa Thompson as the titular socialite, whose cunningness is tested on a single night when her old flame Eileen Lovborg (Nina Hoss), an academic who also happens to be applying for the same teaching position as Hedda’s hapless husband George Tesman (Tom Bateman), arrives at her party brandishing her new book and devoted partner Thea Clifton (Imogen Poots). Set in the opulent yet repressed milieu of 1950s England—one of DaCosta’s many sharp adaptive choices—the film’s sophisticated sense of fashion, art, and interior design make for a sharp juxtaposition with the fractured and cutting jockeying happening underneath its resplendent exterior.

  6. I watched "Dear Frankie" (2005) because of Roger Ebert's review (rogerebert.com/reviews/dear-fr), then promptly bought the DVD.

    If you can find it, do yourself a favor, and watch it.

  7. CW: Roger Ebert, alcoholism

    Coming across Roger Ebert's review of "When a Man loves a Woman" (rogerebert.com/reviews/when-a-) again, and then re-reading his essay on AA and alcoholism recovery.

    He died twelve years ago come April, and we are all poorer for it.

  8. "At the end of the film, I had to smile, recognizing how Shyamalan has essentially ditched a payoff. He knows, as we all sense, that payoffs have grown boring. The mechanical resolution of a movie's problems is something we sit through at the end, but it's the setup and the buildup that keep our attention."

    Maybe we were all sick of set up and payoff in 2002, but by 2022 we were desperate for screenwriting capable of doing it well.

    I think they modeled Professor Plum after Richard Ayoade from the #CrystalMaze reboot.

    Indeed. It's not happening to US, right? We don't have to see it, think about it.

    Right up to the point it IS us facing death.

    A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
    The ability of so many people to live comfortably with the idea of capital punishment is perhaps a clue to how so many Europeans were able to live with the idea of the Holocaust: Once you accept the notion that the state has the right to kill someone and the right to define what is a capital crime, aren't you halfway there? -Roger Ebert, film critic (18 Jun 1942-2013)

    Roger Ebert on his impending death:

    "I know it is coming, and I do not fear it, because I believe there is nothing on the other side of death to fear,” he writes in a journal entry titled ‘Go Gently into That Good Night.’

    “I hope to be spared as much pain as possible on the approach path. I was perfectly content before I was born, and I think of death as the same state.

    What I am grateful for is the gift of intelligence, and for life, love, wonder, and laughter. You can’t say it wasn’t interesting.

    My lifetime’s memories are what I have brought home from the trip. I will require them for eternity no more than that little souvenir of the Eiffel Tower I brought home from Paris.”
