I am not necessarily a follower of Cormac McCarthy&#8217;s work, nor am I even a fan, per se. I didn&#8217;t love his recent Pulitzer Prize winning novel, The Road, and didn&#8217;t find that the prose of No Country For Old drew me in. I am willing, however, to give both another try after reading his [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=besidethequeue.wordpress.com&blog=1064964&post=1090&subd=besidethequeue&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Last week, PasteMagazine.com published an article by film critic Robert Davis entitled Your DVDs Are Rotting, in which Davis argues that the DVD as we now know it will soon be as extinct as the VHS or cassette tape. In the face of the rise of online viewing, he argues, the DVD will not be [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=besidethequeue.wordpress.com&blog=1064964&post=1071&subd=besidethequeue&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

3 THINGS I LIKED: 
1. Spike Jonze&#8217;s creative &#8211; and seemingly effortless &#8211; direction. 
Jonze has a precise, subtle way with a camera, and in Where the Wild Things Are, his direction is as good as ever. Without ever drawing attention to itself, it is wonderfully effective at creating meaning through the standard filmic elements.

In 1920, poet/critic T.S. Eliot published a now infamous famous essay called Hamlet and His Problems, in which he suggested that the play is actually an &#8220;artistic failure.&#8221; In the essay, Eliot defends his thesis by introducing a literary term that has since become famous: the objective correlative. To Eliot, Hamlet didn&#8217;t work because the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=besidethequeue.wordpress.com&blog=1064964&post=1046&subd=besidethequeue&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

As part of a new feature, I plan to begin posting a series of journal-like blogs based on my experiences with each of the three major art forms: film, music, literature.

October is my favorite month, I think. Around here, the summer lingers, sweaty and desperate and long, like winters in the upper midwest.

A few years ago my friend Riley read to me a poem by Charles Bukowski called &#8220;The Batting Order&#8221; in which Bukowski creates a baseball lineup made up of famous writers.
