(Oddly enough, though I was a serious PLANET OF THE APES fankid at the time BATTLE FOR was unspooling in theaters, and that the only one I got see in one, the only novelizations I picked up were your father's for the second film and Jerry Pournelle's for CONQUEST. Your father did a much better job.)<br /><br />It is remarkable the degree of neglect SHAME has faced, isn't it?Todd Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01815516018079824802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8525415828746712027.post-32423812102690554102012-03-20T02:34:46.657-04:002012-03-20T02:34:46.657-04:00Thanks for the kind words, Todd.

And in fact, the first web series I ever did was an adaptation of the last Ed Noon novel, the unpublished SINCE NOON YESTERDAY. The series bounced around a bunch of websites, and now has the indignity of living on Spike.com (after they bought Ifilm, the last legit host.) I made that back in '99, about a decade before making a web series was a good idea.<br /><br />Also... SHAME is one of my favorite Bergman films, and it's amazing (and a little, you know, shameful) how obscure it's become.Avallonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11734002428769492430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8525415828746712027.post-82601924866046372262012-02-27T11:23:45.363-05:002012-02-27T11:23:45.363-05:00Not at all; thank you for all the interesting post...Not at all; thank you for all the interesting posts, and you're quite welcome.<br /><br />My tortured syntax was trying to get across that even fans of WILD STRAWBERRIES and Bergman's other most famous films often seem not to have seen THE DEVIL'S EYE or SHAME/SKAMMEN, which strikes me as a huge pity (THE DEVIL'S EYE hasn't even been touched by Criterion once, for example...SHAME, neither, I think). But that even the most popular works of Bergman falling into relative obscurity is pretty amazing to contemplate. The nightmare vignette at the begin of WS might alone be considered his best horror film, and the balance of the film is pretty damned brilliant.Todd Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01815516018079824802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8525415828746712027.post-38902930207681833722012-02-27T05:35:18.806-05:002012-02-27T05:35:18.806-05:00Hey, thanks for all the links!

I apologize for not posting over here sooner.<br /><br />I had someone suggest <i>Wild Strawberries</i> to me recently, also with the notion that it wasn't very widely seen. That's surprising to me, and rather sad because it's a fine film, one of my favorite Bergmans.Staciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05250238254417726987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8525415828746712027.post-4590782374809267812012-02-21T11:28:41.730-05:002012-02-21T11:28:41.730-05:00My entry for this week is now up and running.
