Browser: Radiohead’s next album; I’m speaking in Dallas; “Last Days of Disco” on Criterion; my review of “Lake Tahoe”; Star Trek convention photos

The Browser: News & links to raise your eyebrows & furrow your brow. New headlines may be added as the day goes on. Stay tuned.  

1.

Radiohead’s recording a new album with Nigel Godrich. That headline makes me happier than almost any music I’ve heard this year so far.

2.

I don’t have a link to give you: Just news. Criterion is releasing my favorite Whit Stillman film, The Last Days of Disco, on DVD this August. It’s been out of print for a long time. I have one of those rare DVDs from its original release, and I keep it locked in a fireproof safe.

3.
In June, I’ll be visiting Dallas, Texas and speaking at this event.

4.

I’ve written a review of Lake Tahoe inspired by the format of Lake Tahoe. Instead of a continuous flow of text, it’s a bunch of excerpts of my thoughts interrupted by blackouts. You’ll find it at Filmwell.

5.

A flashback that will thrill some, trouble others…  http://www.newsweek.com/id/196011

    Wow! Hopefully Criterion can get their hands on BARCELONA to complete the trilogy.

    Woo-hoo! I’ve been waiting for Criterion to come out with “The Last Days of Disco” on DVD for years! it’s easily one of my favorite films of all time, and I agree with you, Jeff, that it’s the best of the Stillman trilogy. I love his masterful use of the two hymns “Dear Lord and Father of mankind, forgive our foolish ways…” and “Amazing Grace.”
