Status Updates From Shard Cinema

In the home stretch now! This final section is focusing really heavily on the camera as an entity with films - I don't know if it's quite as strong as what preceded, but it does have me curious to look for other writing on this.

Finally through the actual "Shard Cinema" essay itself. Very beefy, but a convergence of a lot of what the book had been building towards: the monumental, unbelievable labor that goes into every moment of modern blockbusters, how much focus they put on putting the money on the screen, how these shots blur the acts of creating and watching movies. And he's still a magnificent writer.
