Rose Davis, daughter of my long-time blogfriend Julie, recently moved to Los Angeles.  She’s a film-lover, and has discovered that while L.A. is a movie town, it’s not so much a film town: 

It’s certainly a movie town but in the most superficial way. People talk about movies and television shows here as a commodity to buy and sell rather than an art form to savor and appreciate. It’s not an attitude I resent or look down on but it makes it difficult to have a philosophical conversation about character and theme when it keeps being diverted to box office totals and filming trivia. So here’s a blog about what I’m watching, films I own and films I like. And trust me, I watch a lot of films.

Her new blog is called “Double Exposure.”
