Here’s the last month of my life: Why, 40 years later, THE LEGEND OF BILLIE JEAN is still invincible. I got quotes from pretty much everybody, there are multiple Jon Peters stories involved, and I had an extremely unpleasant interaction with the screenwriter www.indiewire.com/features/int...

Even as his style has become even more ornate, the subjects he’s been tackling feel increasingly political. See: his latest, The Phoenician Scheme.

I've been wanting to write a piece about Ken Burns' BASEBALL for sometime.
For @ebertvoices.bsky.social, I wrote about the importance of the Negro Leagues history recorded in part five SHADOW BALL, especially when the government is erasing Jackie Robinson.

To watch the fifth episode of Ken Burns' "Baseball" is to see exactly what makes the sport great as a metaphor for the country.

I'm so sorry to hear this. Ned Comstock was a great help to me during my research for Pictures at a Revolution, pointing me toward material I never would have known to look for. So many film books are better because of his vast knowledge and the interest he took in writers and researchers. RIP.
So very sorry to hear heartbreaking news of the passing of USC #cinema archivist Ned Comstock. He was amazing, kind and so knowledgeable. Have known him since the 1980s. Cannot imagine doing extensive research for my dissertation or books without his gracious, invaluable expertise. #RIP #NedComstock
