Classic Chops enthusiastically welcomes any essay or post you’ve composed on a film classic—and even though I originally set the criterion at films released in 1965 and before, I have “cheated” a little and included films after that date that I don’t think too many people would dispute are “classics.” Simply send your submissions to classicchops@gmail.com by July 12 at 6:00pm EST…and any questions, comments, suggestions and blueberry pancakes should be addressed to that same e-mail address as well.

Alex at Korova Theatre Presents came up with the nifty idea that each month Classic Chops should do a “theme-oriented” post—namely, accepting links from reviews and posts on movies with a common theme. I like the idea. I’m excited to be a part of it. And so this July 27, Classic Chops will feature submissions of reviews on classic films that contain memorable dream sequences. There’s no shortage of movies to write about: The Manchurian Candidate, Vertigo, Modern Times, Spellbound—these are just a few ideas to jog your cinematic memories. If you’ve written something in the past, let me hear from you—just send an e-mail to the usual address…but be sure you put “Classic Chops: Dreamscape Edition” in the header so I can tell it apart from the usual submissions. The deadline for all “Dreamscape” submissions will be July 26 at 6:00pm EST.

As always…until next time…see you at the movies!

LAMB #303 - Korova Theatre

URL: http://korovatheatrepresents.blogspot.com/
Site Name: Korova Theatre
Categories: Eclectic Cinema
Rating: PG-13

What is the main focus of your site?
I write short and focused film essays that deconstruct the typical structure of film criticism! No long and boring rants here; only concise poetic insights into great cinema. I wish to bring the esoteric into the mainstream.

What are your blogging goals, personally and/or professionally? In other words, what, if anything, are you trying to get out your blog?
I write about films to help me understand my feelings and intentions regarding this artful medium. This expression helps me to externalize abstract reactions; it’s sometimes difficult to know why I like/despise a film…but taking the time to actually think about it makes the experience all the more pleasurable. I only wish to share feelings with other film aficionados and gain their knowledge.

Do you prefer an interactive community for your blog or are you the teacher and your readers are the students?
I prefer interactive so I can learn from others.

How long have you been movie blogging for, and how frequent do you post updates to your site?
My blog has existed for about two years and I update constantly. I’m one of the top reviewers on Netflix too.

Name up to three of your favorite movies (and no more).
THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE (John Frankenheimer), RED DESERT (Michelangelo Antonioni), and WERCKMEISTER HARMONIES (Béla Tarr).

How did you hear about the LAMB?
Stumbled across LAMB from The Professor’s blog.

Any additional comments, or give yourself an interview question that’s not listed above.
Film is a way to peer into the world through another’s perspective.
