	The Anxiety of Obsolescence : Chapter 1: Three Discourses on the Age of Television
		The novel was accused of being antirepublican, of producing solipsistic, individualistic (in the original negative, Tocquevillian sense) readers who shirked the masculine world of action and commerce for the feminine realm of domesticity and illusion.
		While the belief that the novel is dying evidenced by both writers and critics is, in Barth’s own words, sufficient to create the “considerable cultural fact” of its doom, this doom is itself a worthy subject of consideration.
		The novel ostensibly contributed to the demise of community values, the rise in licentiousness and illegitimacy, the failure of education, the disintegration of the family; in short, the ubiquity of the novel.

		Moving Pictures is a delightful farce that introduces us to some of the Discworld's most interesting citizens.
		Well, things all come to a head when Dibbler makes the most lavish moving picture ever, Discworld's version of Gone With the Wind, and the evil that Victor, Ginger, Gaspode, and the Librarian must ultimately contest is a Lovecraftian being from the outside, with all kinds of tentacles and other nasty bits.
		Moving Pictures would be a great book with which to introduce yourself to the Discworld universe; you can enjoy it immensely without having read the previous nine books, and there are laughs to be found on every single page.

		The novel itself plays well with the concept of the power of dreams to influence reality, with the Holy Wood dreams providing a gateway to Lovecraftian Things, complete with a sunken cinema from ancient times that is straight out of Lovecraft's Call of Cthulhu story.
		Moving Pictures is also the first novel where Pratchett tidies up the supporting cast of wizards from the Unseen University, so that instead of changing from book to book they actually become a strong cast of recurring characters.
		Moving Pictures follows individuals from the population melange of the Discworld's greatest city.

		Including sections on literary and cultural contexts, genres (e.g., motion pictures based on specific novels and juvenalia), major authors, and critical approaches, this compendium will be a useful research tool...Baker and Womack's collection is a significant addition to the literature used by upper-division undergraduates through scholars.
		Description: Victorian novels remain enormously popular today: some continue to be made into films, while authors such as Charles Dickens and George Eliot are firmly established in the canon and taught at all levels.
		The first section looks at the emergence of the Victorian novel and its literary precursors, with particular emphasis on the growth of serialization and the development of the novel of syndication.

	Telecommunications for Artists
		And since of all forms the plastic arts are the ones in which the audience has the most complete control over the pace and order of the experience, it is not unreasonable to suppose she might guess that the picture would move when you move it.
		A 19th century visionary might easily have imagined something like this if asked to conjure up a vision of the coming 'moving picture.' At first glance it resembles a painting, and with one exception the pace of the experience is under your control just as it would be if it were a painting.
		As we move into the next century, and the new forms outgrow their infancy, the comparison of new forms to older ones should gradually become unnecessary.

		Novel-readers, relapsing despairingly to the cinema, relapsing disgustedly to novels again, may have wished sometimes for a novel without words, a cinema without moving pictures.
		In a series of 138 woodcuts, of which every picture helps to tell the story, the allegory of an artist's life is unfolded.
		The pictures are obvious enough, and placed in such obvious sequence that even a novel-browser may read both tale and fable aright.

	VampsNFilm
		This production is significant in that this type of cinema is where the term ‘moving pictures’ came from—for the images were not on film but on ‘pictures’ that flipped in sequence as you either ‘cranked’ the machine or after depositing a coin, a small electric motor would flip the pictures.
		The final significance to this ‘moving picture’ is the fact that the Vampire film as seen as a sub-genre today, actually began the Horror genre one year before the Stoker’s celebrated Vampire novel was even printed.
		Thus begins the genealogy of the ‘sub-genre’ of the Vampire film and the start of the Horror genre in the ‘moving pictures, movies, and eventually the film industry itself.

		'Moving Pictures' is parody and punning, as Pratchett makes fun of everything from 'Gone with the Wind' (Blown Away) to H.P. Lovecraft.
		I've read all the Discworld novels up until this one, and this was one of the worst of the bunch.
		This is one of Terry Pratchett's slowest moving books, but stay with it and like all of the Discworld series the characters will grow on you and the events will lead up to one of Terry Pratchett's best climaxes.

		Greta suddenly lands a choice job editing a young superstar's second novel (because he's heard of her ruthless cutting).
		She begins to test herself, cheating on Lee with the charismatic, self-absorbed writer (though, as a flashback reveals, such behavior isn't new for her), celebrating her promotion at a party thrown by her father, to whom she hasn't spoken in years.
		Balk has always been a physical performer, her limbs weirdly expressive; here, she's subtler and looser, perhaps inspired by the liveliness of that little digital camera.

		I had noticed the Zelazny parallel when I first read Moving Pictures, but thought the reference was too unlikely and too obscure to warrant inclusion.
		Terry says: "The reality meter in Moving Pictures is loosely based on a Han dynasty (2nd Century AD) seismograph; a pendulum inside the vase moves and causes one of eight dragons to spit a ball in the direction of the tremor."
		Terry explains: "[...] In Moving Pictures and Reaper Man a lot of use is indeed made of, god help me, Victorian street sayings that were the equivalent of 'sez you'.

	Newtype USA / Reviews / Howl’s Moving Castle
		A complex, ravishing and largely faithful adaptation of Diana Wynne Jones’ 1986 fantasy novel, Howl’s Moving Castle is one of Miyazaki’s most unashamedly romantic films.
		In the hamlet of Market Chipping (which lies in the war-torn kingdom of Ingary), a young milliner’s daughter named Sophie inadvertently defies the spiteful Witch of the Waste, who turns her into an old crone.
		The castle itself, a hulking, rattling, wheezing assemblage of parts salvaged from a fantasy demolition sale that traverses the countryside on chicken legs, is an inspired, delightfully iconic creation that ranks alongside Totoro’s catbus.

		Some of the story is a little unclear at first, but some of the scenes are the best Pratchett gets.
		I'm pretty sure that this is the first novel in the Discworld series with Mustrum Ridcully as Archchancellor of Unseen University, and he is a lot of fun.
		Dibbler's attempts to produce amazing moving pictures are also a good laugh.

		Not to mention the lead character, V, wears loose clothing for a good part of the film.
		Based on the 1980's comic books-turned-graphic novel by Alan Moore, V for Vendetta is set in dystopian totalitarian Britain, where people live in complete fear of the government succumbing to their ridiculously harsh laws.
		This movie has the perfect recipe for our worst nightmare–single-party state, concentration camps for religious, political, ethnic and sexual minorities, heavily controlled media and a rampant Gestapo.
