I’m loving the bar of Palmolive, just sitting and watching the #PerryMason credits roll by.

So great to see it on the big screen. This time around, was struck by how Jean Heather as Lola was the perfect counterpoint to the leads. A role that could have gone all mushy cut like a knife.

❤️Linklater’s Nouvelle Vague.
It's about living in a moment when it feels like the stars align and nothing will be the same, and how all creative collaborations are really love stories--with all the happiness and rockiness that implies.
Maybe not a great movie, but a wonderful one.

Last night’s Japanese noir : Masuda’s Rusty Knife (1958). Low-budget, and there were greater Nikkatsu noirs to come, but still plenty atmospheric with jolts of New Wave energy and violence. Throw young, pre-implantation Joe Shishido from the train!

Watched Witchhammer (1970) for Halloween, which was probably a mistake. It was genuinely terrifying to see how institutional power can be weaponized against everyone from the marginalized to the smug bourgeoisie. Thank god we live in totally different times, right?
