Pencils down on a longform essay I've been researching off and on for the past six years. Started as a pandemic hobby, ended with me on the phone with Bruce Dern for three-and-a-half hours. Whoops! Now in edits. More at some point.

Watched THE IPCRESS FILE and BULLITT recently. My favorite lost movie subgenre might be 1960s action/espionage films where whole scenes are devoted to just vibing out with the hero while they, like, make coffee and shop for groceries and cook and eat and park cars
