Posted on February 13, 2013 by robchristopher

“A book after my own heart. Not only is it published by the American Library Association, it extols the virtues of using public libraries to explore movies … The book’s almost academic approach to movie viewing lends weight and credibility to something most of us do for fun. It’s kind of nice to be taken so seriously for a change.”
