"He gave us the grammar of filmmaking. He understood the psychic strength of the lens."
Lillian Gish (on D.W. Griffith)

A movie journal. We like all kinds, but there's a special focus here on old movies (and the 1970s are not old). And some television stuff thrown in just to mix it up. And we're leaving the door open to talk about comics too, though we've never actually done it. We also like the Pistons, the Tigers, the Red Wings, and the Wolverines. We're from Detroit. You've been warned.

"Film is a disease. When it infects your bloodstream, it takes over as the number one hormone; it bosses the enzymes; directs the pineal gland; plays Iago to your psyche. As with heroin, the antidote to film is more film."
Frank Capra
