okay i’m almost finished with my new writing project for my zine.

it’s a 10,000 word semi-autobiographical story that takes place over one day in 1998 and involves the remake of ‘psycho’ and a fugazi concert.

now that I’ve had a couple days to think about it…. I very much did not care for “heart eyes”. there’s more to like in it than in “scare me”, but it still can’t escape its own terrible script.

“garfield: a tail of two kitties” has a pretty incredible cast that kind of elevates this little delight into a minor masterpiece…. but goddamn it, roger rees is so brilliant. he’s the anchor. you buy this ridiculous world because of him.

sometimes i feel like i’m the only film geek alive who still admits they hated siskel and ebert.

the dylan movie is so supremely stupid. the entire dramatic crux of the film is “will he go electric at newport 65”? there is literally nothing else to this insignificant piece of dress up hokum, except maybe a tiny guthrie side story that goes nowhere.

honestly… if you think little things like laws and constitutionality are going to stand in his way, you really have not been paying attention.

the old rules no longer apply.
requires a constitutional amendment. they don't have the votes. there are more pressing, more real dangers. That one's a distraction.

it’s already happening… i thought it would maybe be a month or two before he started “joking” about a third term… but he’s already doing it.

there’s no doubt in my mind what’s coming.

call me crazy all you want… but every single warning sign is being checked off like some apocalyptic to-do list.

aw man… rip jeannot szwarc.

one of the last of the great journeyman directors to come out of the old hollywood television system. another huge loss for cinema.
