RIP to the great British writer #TomStoppard, who gave us Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, Brazil, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Shakespeare in Love, Arcadia, The Real Thing, Leopoldstadt and one of my favorite movies, Empire of the Sun. A master with words. #Writersky #Screenwriting

Doing the reading for Nouvelle Vague, since it’s pretty much all up on Criterion.
Branded to Kill on a big screen, about as nuts (positive) as the first time.
I liked Train Dreams, but I wanted to like it so much more than I actually did.

Nice map. Where’s the rest of it?
This map shows the National Weather Service’s forecast snow totals. In Iowa, there’s a chance that even higher totals area realized.
Confidence is increasing for 8+ inches in Chicago and Madison, the bulk of which falls on Saturday.
For Indianapolis and Columbus, amounts walk a tightrope.

but they're not running Train Dreams. 😞
Of course it's at Film Streams. They're good like that.
For those in the US - this is the best way to find if there's a theater near you playing our movie when it opens 11/26. Sadly no AMC on this run, but Landmark, Alamo and other wonderful chains can keep it running as long as they want, even past the 12/12 Netflix drop. www.wakeupdeadmanfilm.com
