Bud Grossmann’s Words of the Week for the Week of February 19, 2012 Previously unpublished movie review. © 2012 by Bud Grossmann. All Rights Reserved.   Enlargement, 2012 © 2012 by Bud Grossmann NEGATIVE COMMENTARY        Late on a Monday night in February 2012, David C. Fischer, a photographer who graduated from high school in 1967, e-mailed a friend a brief review of a 1966 motion picture:       Watched Blow-Up tonight for the first time ever and will likely call it a two-star movie. Kind of beautiful in a Warholesque way, but pretentious and empty and slow in Warholesque ways. I’m beginning to watch it again, listening to a film guy, author of a biography of Antonioni, comment on it, but I probably won’t finish. Won’t pass this Netflix disk along to my father. ♦         ARCHIVES         Click for a list of other Words of the Week I would welcome your thoughts on this page (or any of my others).  Write to me at the following address.  Please be sure to spell Grossmann with two n’s and mention what page you are writing about.
