It’s Sunday night, and Mad Men won’t be around until next August. I know what you’re thinking—-what am I going to do with all this time? In honor of 2012, why not revisit Sigmund Freud’s 1915 text, “Thoughts for the Times on War and Death.” It touches on the difficulties of imagining our own death—-and, somehow, sheds light on why a filmic imagining of our own death will always require our survival.
I was excited to discover that the great Jonathan Rosenbaum has a website where he posts gem after gem from his long career. As your weekend read, I suggest his take on Fatal Attraction. And, of course, whatever else we post.
