- Dennis Lim traces "The Evolution of the Fight Scene, from The Duke to The Dark Knight", and includes ten clips as illustrations.
- Although the formatting makes the page a bit difficult to scan, Jonathan Rosenbaum's latest "Global Discoveries on DVD" column in Cinema Scope has enough gems to keep your player warm through the fall, and, if you can play PAL and non-region 1 discs, probably into November. I recommend triple-clicking each paragraph as you read.

About
Daily Plastic is a Chicago-based movie blog, a collaboration between Robert Davis and J. Robert Parks, the same pair who brought you the wearable movie tote, the razor-thin pencil pocket, and that joke about aardvarks. If you know the whereabouts of the blue Pontiac Tempest that was towed from the Plastic Parking Lot on the evening of August 7th, 2008, or more importantly if you've recovered the red shoebox that was in its trunk, please contact us at your earliest convenience.
Davis was the chief film critic for the late, great Paste Magazine (which lives on now as a website) from 2005 through 2009, and he counts this interview with Claire Denis among his favorite moments. Every once in a while he pops up on Twitter. He's presently sipping puerh in Chicago, even at this hour. Meanwhile, Parks, whose work has appeared in TimeOut Chicago, The Hyde Park Herald, and Paste, is molding unsuspecting, college-aged minds in the aforementioned windy city. Media types are warned to stay clear of his semester-sized field of influence because of the distorting effects that are likely to develop.
