I don't know how many members of this list read German. Those who do might be interested though to take a look at my new book _Blockbuster. Aesthetik, Oekonomie und Geschichte des postklassischen Hollywoodkinos_, which has just been published by Schueren. http://cinetext.philo.at/magazine/blanchet/blockbuster.html The book is a general introduction to the aesthetics and economics of contemporary Hollywood cinema as well as the recent debate surrounding the notion of the so-called "New" or "post-classical" Hollywood. It might also serve as an introduction to the writings of David Bordwell and Kristin Thompson. Apologies for cross-posting.
