Quotation of the Day for November 5, 2011



"Everything in this frame--the MC's hand, the open mouth of the piano, the faces of the drummer and the upright bass player--creates a visual current that flows from screen right to screen left, against the grain of the text and image logic of the West. We are forced to read the frame in the wrong direction. In a few moments, the Blue Lady will fill the gap, and become the center of gravity, and the unprepared will most certainly tumble into her collapsing star."

- Nicholas Rombes, discussing the symbolism in a single frame of the film "Blue Velvet".
