Russ Meyer and Roger Ebert teamed up again for 1976's Up! which is a little bit fairy tale, a little bit Nazisploitation, and a whole lot of busty women. I... I mean it's Russ Meyer.

Perhaps one of the more famous Russ Meyer films is the pseudo-sequel to Jacqueline Susann's Valley of the Dolls. Beyond the Valley of the Dolls isn't just a kind of funny title, or a studio film for Meyer, it was written by famous movie critic Roger Ebert.

"The way seemed clear for ['Hoop Dreams' to win] an Academy Award as best documentary. Then a shameful thing happened. It wasn’t even nominated. We learned... that the members of the committee had a system. They carried little flashlights. When one gave up on a film, he waved a light on the screen. When a majority of flashlights had voted, the film was switched off. 'Hoop Dreams' was stopped after 15 minutes."

Christophe Gans – „Pakt der Wölfe“ (2001)

„In dem Film geht es um Wölfe, französische Aristokraten, Geheimgesellschaften, Irokesen-Indianer, Kampfkünste, okkulte Zeremonien, heilige Pilze, Prahlhänse, inzestuöses Verlangen, politische Unterwanderung, tierische Geister, blutige Schlachtszenen und Bordelle. Das Einzige, was man nicht tun sollte, ist, diesen Film ernst zu nehmen. Seine Wurzeln liegen in traditionellen Monster-Sex-Fantasy-Filmen mit Spezialeffekten.“, schrieb Roger Ebert. (ARD, Wh)

Der Kollaps des Kapitalismus – Margin Call (2011)

Fast 20 Jahre nach der Weltfinanzkrise, dem Kollaps der Lehman Brothers, und der Rettung von Banken überall auf der Welt mit dem Geld der Steuerzahler:innen, ist das ziemlich atemberaubende Debüt von J. C. Chandor noch immer ein Schlüssel, um den Finanzkapitalismus zu verstehen. Die Frage bleibt: Haben wir dazu gelernt, seitdem?

There’s no “Fin!”

In the last 20 years I’ve made three false–starts at sketching. They parallel my personal growth. The first false–start involved me buying books and materials, and spending a lot of time setting things up to create what I thought was the perfect environment. No sketching happened. The second false–start involved my removing what I thought was a barrier; I switched to journaling in pencil (a multi-year side quest I eventually returned from loving ink more deeply) because I thought having the sketching tools before me more often would lead to sketching. The third false-start now happens once every few weeks: I find myself paused, looking at something, really seeing, and I notice an urge to sketch.

I came late to his work: I remember seeing him on TV when I was a kid, but I only really started reading him post-cancer, around 2010 or so, when he was in the middle of his great blogging explosion caused by losing his voice due to his health complications.

The connection is that Roger Ebert did a lot of sketching in addition to a lot of writing.

This time of year, every year, I’m thinking about seasons of life at large, and cycles in our work. I find that it’s fulfilling when I finish some large thing— when the last piece of a large project clicks into place like the final jigsaw piece. What doesn’t work is when I imagine that feeling of fulfillment too soon. I do try to imagine what done looks like before I begin small things—few-hours sized things, days sized things. But for large things, it’s often better if I think of a few possible ways it could eventually be “done” and then simply get to work. It’s best if I remember there’s no tidy “Fin!” like at the end of a movie; There’s only the doing.
