Alex Kent's new Louisiana Movie Blog, Glamour with Gumbo: inside dope from a fellow who likes A Confederacy of Dunces


Alexandyr Kent & Kate Archer

On his new louisiana movies blogspot site Alexandyr Kent, Times writer, tells us a bit about himself. He's a well-educated, erudite fellow who will, I hope, give readers something more than a rah-rah Times product.

Kent lists his favorite movies as O Lucky Man (someone remembered!), Woman in the Dunes, Ravenous and Grosse Pointe Blank. Favorite music: Phillip Glass, Jeff Black, and Mike Doughty. Books: Short Stories of Theodore Sturgeon, The Wind from Nowhere and Kafka on the Shore. As well as Confederacy of Dunces.

And, as I correctly guessed once, he has written at least one movie script. In becoming fashion he described his movie as "Overlong and generally execrable." Charming lad.

Based on his favorites in the profile, I'm guessing he'll have at least a dozen sympatico readers. People at Barnes & Noble - nor Maxwell's Market - are not likely to lay in a fresh supply of Theodore Sturgeon.

Watch him evolve as a blogger at louisianamovies.blogspot.com
