Dude! You just received a shout-out from Roger Ebert himself! To wit:

http://blogs.suntimes.com/ebert/2009/09/the_blogs_of_my_blog.html

It's not exactly an "award", but it beats his response to my jest on the sensory savagery of Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen by a country mile. Congratulations.

Matt,

Thanks! So far I've avoided Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, in 3-D or otherwise. I think that's been a pretty good strategy for me so far...

Hi Matthew Dessem,

I started reading your blog a few months ago, and as is typical when I like something, I've waded through quite a lot of it by now. Also typical = reading peripatetically, I can never remember where I read something good, and it then seems very important to find that good thing.
So I think I may have read, somewhere on your blog a quote (possibly by Nabokov) about how prose is either written in a language resonant with your internal, thinking language, or written in an unfamiliar style. And whilst the former may be easier to read, the latter challenges you more and therefore may be more rewarding. (I don't remember the phrasing, it was definitely better than this)

Anyway, sorry to bother you, but if you do get this and have a spare minute - and know the random excerpt I am talking about, I would be very indebted if you would tell me where it comes from.

Thanks!
Phoebe

Hi Phoebe,

I think the quote you refer to is in my comment to Matthew's essay on Andrei Rublev (#34).
