A Film for the Cold Climate
Once again, I find myself to be the odd man out. When I think of this season, and the movies that have been inspired by it, I don’t think of romance per se, or even the great horror films of my 80s past. There is just too much of the whiff of pumpkin spice and dead leaves in those films to leave me feeling like I’d rather be out in the cold, walking alone in the too-early dark. No, the film that I think of when this season arrives, and I have to engage in a shift in my wardrobe to “sweater weather,” is a film that I usually end up watching in the spring to coincide with events on screen.

The Lost Fourth Segment of a National Lampoon Film: Henry Jaglom’s Vanishing Act
A Title Hollywood Never Wanted Naming a movie The Bomb has always sounded like inviting disaster. In the film industry, the word “bomb” is shorthand for failure — the kind that wipes out profits and careers. The metaphor has existed almost as long as Hollywood itself, so it’s no surprise studios avoid it like a curse.

What if Wicked's Ending Actually Revealed the Truth?
Whether the ending is that the "wicked witch" really is dead, she isn't dead and Glinda believes she is, or Glinda knows while she takes on the ruling of Oz, the reason for change in Oz is not fully known amongst the citizens what the full truth really was and Elphaba gets to remain under the guise of twisted tales forever. It gives way to a political message about what we believe we know may not be the full truth. There are many fan fictions and rewritten endings to the tale. I was coming across these while looking into the reasons for the choice of ending. The creation of a tragic tale of a person ostracized by society because others could not see Elphaba for her true motive, and only by the motives that others made up for her.
