Links for 2007-03-26 [del.icio.us] - Rmail

  • Wikipedia: Joyce Hatto
    In depth investigation into how some of the later cds from the late pianist were actually the work of others, passed off as hers.
  • British Theatre
    Group blogs from creatives in the local industry.
  • the roundtable review: on the french, films and film festivals
    "The Alès Film Festival, has very much kept the spontaneous, democratic enthusiasm that got it started. [...] The poster for example, had to come from a local competition each year, with submissions invited from the townspeople."
  • Behind the Sofa: "I'm a very good judge - of drama."
    Sometimes Sofa threads can be as interesting and opinionated as any discussion online -- this one in particular has many of the hallmarks of a good Metafilter thread, including the appearance of the author that the post originally linked to.
  • Liverpool Art and Culture: Arts Cash For Communities - (But Not ArtInLiverpool)
    Ian's application for funding from the Capital of Culture has been rejected which strikes me as being a bit short sighted. Gaynor Evelyn Sweeney offers the many reasons why in a comment to this post, but really this is very, very annoying.
  • “Ô oui!” Douglas Adams
    Excellent collection of quotes which once again remind me what a loss it was when DNA left us.
  • Andrew Collins: Penultimate
    Andrew talks about giving up his 6Music gig and considers the changes in the ethos of the station. Very thoughtful and candid bit of writing.
  • Guardian Unlimited: Arts blog: What every film critic must know
    I'm getting really tired of the style of film review in which the writer simply writes a synopsis of the thing without recourse to any kind of analysis -- that's why I like Mark Kermode -- his assessment of '300' was perfect.
  • VintageTimes: TV Guide Covers and Listings
    "A collection of Radio Times and TV Times covers past and present."
  • filmlog: Lady of Burlesque (1943)
    Marvelous genre bender that combines a backstage musical with a police film. Barbara Stanwyck is a compulsive screen presence and for once the comedy is actually funny. Overtones of 'Showgirls' and 'Mrs Henderson Presents' too.
