Girl the answer is always advertising. Closet Picks is a series that exists as advertising for Criterion and for whatever project the guest is promoting

This idea isn't new; it's just becoming more common because people are reading less published criticism than ever, so we expect celebrities and industry figures to be critics and pundits as well. There's always been an overlap (heyyyyy Cahiers du Cinema) but it's everywhere now

Mad Men is a magical girl series if you think about it kinda

Hell yeah, this is the type of thing I like watching magical girl series for.
This sort of specific identity exploration in mahou shoujo series generally feel like it's fallen by the wayside.

wrote about the 2004 anime Monster and how it both invented the modern prestige streaming formula and outdid every single show in the same mold. i also disclosed how it inspired me to take part in the stupidest creative project of all time. api.omarshehata.me/substack-…

Absolutely crazy to me how much of the current trendy production in electropop music can just be traced back to this album, like she really fucking predicted the future with this one, easily one of the most influential releases of the last decade

Very much this. Sight and Sound, along with a poll done at the Festival Mondial du Film et des Beaux-Arts de Belgique in 1951, were the first widespread instances/attempts to explicitly canonize a form of media. People didn't really conduct "best-of" polls/lists before cinema.

It takes much less time to watch a film than to read a novel, so any “expert” on film will have seen many more films than an analogous literary “expert.” All films except the very earliest examples were made in the 20th and 21st centuries. And book people are conservative

The "canon" is also an explicitly cinematic and literary idea -- there are certainly canons for music and television and other art forms, but they serve less of a purpose because a canon is a pedagogical tool both personally and institutionally. As Lauren said, it's about time
