I’ve only just realized that I can copy reviews directly from scanned NTVB pages I’ve posted on my other blog. While it’s not an ideal situation, since I don’t post every page of any given issue, it saves me a lot of time over transcribing them (which I still plan to do with the ones I’ve missed in those issues, at some point). The film titles were printed in caps, so the newest additions will be easy to spot--plus they keep coming out in small type and for some reason it won't let me make it normal, so I've made them a bit larger instead.
I've been sprinkling in some TV Book close-ups pairing interesting Cashman reviews with the fantastical art of Gary A. Viskupic, one of the regular illustrators for these guides. (For example, I've added a Viskupic illustration to the Casablanca review, plus there's a scan of the Feb. 23rd, 1975 TV Line with the review for The Maltese Falcon, featuring a pertinent question.) I suggest that at some point you check out this post (and then this one... and then this one) from my regular blog for a look at Viskupic's skewed visions.
I changed the template not realizing it would significantly alter my sidebar menu. It makes it a little harder to navigate, but if you stay on this page, just click "older posts" at the bottom to continue on to the next ordered page. Or click on "2007" in the right sidebar, that will bring up the four alphabetical sections of reviews.
But I've saved the biggest news of all for last: I had a correspondence with one of Cashman's children and it's taken me a mere four years to get some of the info she related to me included here in the introduction! (My news breaks like a hydroelectric dam. Slowly, over much time.) Enjoy!
