Tuesday's Overlooked Films and/or Other A/V: the links to reviews, interviews, etc.

Kansas City Bomber
This week's adventures in audio/visual materials that the reviewers think need at least another look (or, occasionally, actually deserve obscurity); thanks as always to everyone, and please let me know if I've missed your or someone else's notable posts.  

--Todd Mason, 
who notes that the Criterion Blogathon is responsible for a few more Criterion DVD and BluRay reviews this week...see Kristina Dijan, Ruth Kerr and Aaron West's citations for guides to the participants and their essays, and hear them on Criterion Close Up; also, Stacia Jones and Rod Lott on the National Lampoon documentary...I was able to non-virtually meet, along with his wife Pamela Scoville and old friend Ray Ridenour, contributor Paul "John Grant" Barnett at what I could attend of the annual convention in the area, the PhilCon, over this past weekend, and it was a very pleasant evening...wish him a happy birthday if you see him soon...he notes his daughter provided him with his most proud-making gift, the token of her Oxfam contribution in his honor...

Thank you so much for linking to my posts. Much appreciated.

Sergio (Tipping My Fedora) said...

Cheers mate. What's rather good is that I have seen a fair number of these, but as always many more that await discovery - that's the way it should be, darn it!

Vienna, thank you for your work on your blog...I've enjoyed sampling it over the last several months.

Sergio, yup, lots of old friends, and always ready to take on some new and interesting work...while hoping not to swamp those who have specifically blogged on A/V in response to this weekly project. At the current size, it's certainly not too easy to read everything in a given week.

Happy Thanksgiving, Todd! I hope this is a wonderful day for you. There is much to be thankful for, including this blog.

Thanks Richard, and back at you! Hope you're enjoying the day.
