I’m sure well-intentioned folks were working on it (and it appears they still are), but the vibrancy of development had faded from my perspective at the time. MediaTemple (now GoDaddy) was similarly abandoned. They were happy to take …

For obvious reasons, I love this Syllabus Project from Rena Tom. This syllabus explores the concept of fake objects, defined as material replicas of originals that are absent, fictional, immaterial, or otherwise unobtainable. Fake objects are created to satisfy the desire for things that never were. Their worth is not necessarily tied to the rarity of the original or the fidelity of reproduction. Value is found through fakeness, not in …

Having a fluey cold masquerading as Covid is horrible, but it does keep me reading in my chair for longer than I might normally endure (I fidget). Much sooner than expected I finished Richard Buckle’s memoir The Adventures of a Ballet Critic, which I bought at the same time as P W Manchester’s Vic-Wells, in … Continue reading The Adventures of a Ballet Critic, by Richard Buckle →

Included on Swellfax Copy 01 are B4, Fok, Huffy Fibryyx …

The Seventh Victim (1943), produced by Val Lewton and directed by Mark Robson, is a delicate, muted, atmospheric horror film that is somehow more than the sum of its parts. A certain devil-may-care approach to consistency and coherence, along with an artful job of back-lot pasteboard illusionism—both things attributable to the strict $150,000 budget cap—actually assists in creating the aura of anxiety and indeterminacy that makes it a horror picture …
