About This Site

The Crop Duster has two goals. One is to organize links to my critical work: reviews written for The Herald (Everett, Washington) and Seattle Weekly; and public appearances and TV jobs. Selected past work for Film Comment and elsewhere is also linkified. You may also link to my website of 1980s reviews and learn more about my book on Frankenstein and my graphic novel, ROTTEN.

The second goal is to keep a daily record of films watched, annotated with brisk, brief comments. It's a slightly more advanced version of the movie list I kept, in Flair pen, thumbtacked next to my bed when I was twelve.

You do the translation: "Robert Horton en un infatigable crítico residente en Seattle y colaborador habitual de Film Comment. Su espacio en la red está en The Crop Duster acaso el mejor blog de un cinecrítico profesional americano después del de Roger Ebert." --Ernesto DiezMartinez Guzmán, editor of Vértigo

Bing Crosby, Rosemary Clooney: White Christmas

My piece for the Scarecrow blog this week, and etc.

I have a new episode of “The Music and the Movies” this week: winter films. Dr. Zhivago meets Bing Crosby, Bernard Herrmann joins Ennio Morricone, and Glenn Miller journeys to Sun Valley. Listen at the Voice of Vashon page.

Thursday night, January 26, Scarecrow’s Zeitgeist online series returns with yours truly outlining the Overlooked Films of 2022. And you’ll be there to nominate your own titles. Join us at 7 pm for this free Zoom session.
