Carsten, I'd also like to make some contributions to the board's Malick bibliography that you're planning on building. What I have is a collection of the...
txt and pdfs shouldn't be that large. Maybe you can zip your foulder into one archive and send it to me. That would be great. Thanks. Carsten. ... -- ...
Well if it isn't long-lost Sir Ian van Kaapstad! Good to hear you're still part of the group. May your dissertation (very enticing subject, btw) score a triple...
Allo-allo my little chickadees, (I'm experimenting with greetings and salutations this week). Although I promised Carsten I'd send him lots of my Malick stuff...
Allo Agape, Oh, to send out a nice post and be greeted by a deafening silence. I know the feeling. I've thought in the past about buying that very book, Loss,...
... I know the feeling. I haven't the faintest idea what you're talking about, Oscar! ;-). Actually I decided to enclose what could have been a perfunctory, ...
I just ran across this and thought it very apt. In an interview from 1999, Jim Caviezel said of The Thin Red Line: 'Making this film for Terrence was like...
in Semitic languages, "malik" variably means "king" or "angel"? It's also a pretty common last name, which is why "Malick" as a search term on its own often...
This article mentions a shoddy VHS version but Criterion has just issued the DVD, which, Dave Kehr tells us in this past Sunday's NYTImes, is impeccably...
Hi Agape: Cool. And how appropos that our duality genius' last name appears also to be derived from the Latin "mal" (bad). Ever the glass-half-empty viewer, ...
Hi Angela, I prefer to think of him as the "angel king", since he's always looking to the sky and he's the best. Glad to see that you weren't wiped out in that...
... All good choices, except (in my opinion) for maybe AFFLICTION, which has always been a film I've had difficulty liking, despite my fondness for all ...
Thanks for the shout back Bilge. I wondered too after the fact why neither of us had chosen the obvious, The Thin Red Line ! Believe it or not, I've never seen...
... I love The Moviegoer as well, and almost all of Walker Percy's works. As far as I can understand it, Malick was hired to do a draft on a screenplay for a ...
Wow! That's a good one. Here's one for you. I have a friend who is friends with Ecky's daughter (Malick's step daughter). Malick apparently comes down to San...
... I wasn't crazy about that film, but I did think the performances were excellent. And I actually think these performers might have been pretty interesting...
Brooklyn. Good to know. Does that make you a Mets fan, or Yankees, or none of the above? You won't get the connection unless you've read the book, but an...
Hi Oscar and everyone: Can you or Bilge provide the exact link to Bilge's piece at Bookforum? For some reason I can't find it. Talk of adaptations made me...
... The specific list we're discussing can be found here: http://bookforum.com/inprint/issue=200703&id=257 But my regular column for the magazine, in which I...
Hi Angela, As an aspiring screenwriter who so far works mainly in adaptations, I'm scared to death of magical realism. That kind of material can be so...
I've been working on this video tribute to Malick for a while now. It's really been a great pleasure and a great experience for me, to edit such amazing...
Tom: Very cool--an extended Malick tone poem. ("Video" is too crass a word for it.) You found similarities I hadn't thought of between TTRL and TNW, and you...
Astute as always, Angela. Now although Latin and Semitic languages are not really related in the philological scheme of things, you might want to consider our...
... Dinesen story. Not magic realism, but great filmmaking--director Gabriel Axel's details about the sensuality of preparing and eating food are remarkable. ...
Hi Bilge, I just found these links by doing a search on bookforum after reading your discussion with Oscar, and I was extremely happy to see it's now available...
... Fidelity to the source material usually means nothing to me, even in the case of an adaptation of a book I love. For example, Elia Kazan's EAST OF EDEN is...
Hi: I want to make some lists too...please join in. I'll start with great films that feature a character dealing with old age/the prospect of death, prompted...
