Work In Progress, Or Done? I Can’t Tell

Last two months have been, for the most part, creatively dry. Sat down last night and started this. Did some pics this morning. Started a new poem (or song) last week. But prior to that, nothing happening for many weeks.

Not sure if I should leave it as is (because I’m great at ruining something by going too far), or work on it. Either way, it feels goods to get started again.

R.I.P. Shelley Duvall

Boy, this one made me sad. Duvall had such a unique presence on film. Another reason to get down on our collective hands and knees and thank the universe for Robert Altman and his spot-on judgement.

MCCABE & MRS. MILLER (1971).

BREWSTER MCCLOUD (1970).

Whatever Happened To...

Every year I like to ask: what happened to THE COMEBACK TRAIL? And more urgently, what happened to SONS OF THE NEON NIGHT? The De Niro film looks like a hoot; Juno Mak’s latest looks like something far greater.

R.I.P. Robert Towne

Damn it, look at the best of the man’s credits, films he wrote and ones he improved upon, and it’s mind-boggling.
