Stranger Things 3 Fan Theories After the Stranger Things 3 trailer dropped last week, fan theories began to fly on Reddit, Twitter and I guess DeadJournal, if that’s still a thing.

Since a recent foot injury left me less mobile than usual, I, for one, found myself in the grips of an unquenchable need to process this pop culture event, while being physically unable to just “walk it off” like a normal person would....

‘The Image Book’ Review: Godard Laments (And Resurrects) The Moving Image [Mumbai Film Festival] By Siddhant Adlakha/Nov. 9, 2018 1:00 pm EST If one were to introduce Jean-Luc Godard’s first film, Breathless (1960), to a class of unassuming film students without first providing context, it may seem, to them, an exercise in the rote and familiar. The film’s referential nature began to permeate American cinema not long after its arrival (crystalizing, arguably, in the works of Quentin Tarantino in the 1990s) with the long-take becoming a staple of Western arthouse, the jump-cut featuring prominently the YouTube vlog, and other stylistic flourishes seeding the very tapestry that is our modern visual language....
