My secondhand Kubrick was a git story:

I’m not the only one? I thought I was the only one (re: Mona). I don’t hate her but right now, I don’t really see how she’s good for the team. Or maybe she’s just too twee for me - not her voice, not her look, but her complete lack of chill/willingness to be practical.

That was a really, really good episode. And perhaps the first time I’ve liked Bortus (no, I’ve not watched ‘About a Girl’ - maybe someday).

He’s fine - very liberal in a very liberal district though not a flaming socialist/rabble-rouser like some of his colleagues to the north and…

Good advice, yes.

I came to the realization ... no, epiphany, yesterday that Jaime Camil really needs to star with Mark Ruffalo in a film about brothers separated at birth or something ...

Eraserhead’s gentle twin?

My husband roomed with a supposed descendant of Genghis Khan while in grad school in upstate New York. Nice guy, he said.

I was at a 16 mm shorts film fest last night and so happens that one of the clips was an extended interview Hammill did for the release of Star Wars, and the part they played was distinguishing how Harrison Ford obviously appreciates the role of Han Solo but Hammill just GEEKS OUT about the whole thing.

Well, dang. Wednesday is just too busy.
