So that's what you call it. I ran into it recently in a novel, one of Donna Leon's Brunetti series. I don't mean to discredit all theory. Sometimes it can bring out quite dazzling insights. But.... the fact that love of literature (or film) has had to go underground is just sad. Judy

Date: Fri, Dec 16, 2011 3:21 pm The sad thing is that you can feed a Shakespeare sonnet or a Hemingway novel into the same claptrap machine and it will reach exactly the same conclusions as if you feed it any film from Godard to John Hughes. The machine was originally designed to chew up anything branded as literature and spit it out as garbage, and it works the same for film. ?Judy Shoaf, who really did forget her medication this morning.

It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
