Recent Links of Potential Interest

The first in a series of recurring posts drawing attention to things I found to be worth reading...

1. The House Next Door is reprinting articles from the late 24LiesASecond. The second paragraph of the first offering gives an example of how to make sure I read your essay in its entirety:
Through persistence and longevity De Palma has created a body of work that is as moody and recalcitrant as it is aesthetically unassailable. The intensity and perceptivity of his works insures that a discussion of De Palma's films is not merely a discussion of cinema but a discourse on the dynamics of human nature and our national psyche.
Though, really, the essay's title: Objects of Appalling Beauty: An Appreciation of Brian DePalma, was enough for me.

2. David Foster Wallace, RIP. Sad, sad news. Here's an example of why he will be missed by a person who never met him: David Lynch Keep His Head (Premiere Magazine, Septemeber 1996).
