“Dr. Davis back when I first read his masterful sophomore project “Techgnosis” inspired my favorite definition of a ‘Great Critical theorist’ — A great critical theorist is one who expresses what you ‘think’ — in your depth — far better than you ever could”
“I often use his Led Zepplin IV for 33 1/3 as an example of what I mean by a Critical-assay — A critical-assay differs from a critical essay by how the perpetrator/writer — koan like — becomes the subject/object “
“Being a few years older than Erik I first saw Apocalypse Now when I was 16 at a special screening on the U of R campus with my D&D cohort — nonetheless — it was the perfect time to see it”
“For my Brother's birthday this year — he had envisioned a 24-hour movithon with everyone selecting a couple of their most influential movies — It didn't play out that way but I purchased a copy of Apocalypse Now Redux and brought it to California where between one thing and another we didn't get to it — it sits unopened below our TV where every day I've thought — I need to watch it again”
Here's the excuse — TY Dr. Davis for lighting a fire under it.
