@WhitStillman @daveweigel Love BE, GE too, but Lawrence is maybe pretty well understood as three intimate dramas in a three hour trench coat?

Excluding THE MALTESE FALCON and TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE, what’s your favorite film directed by John Huston?

Just realized that weird cadence at the end of most AI articles is very much Sex-and-the-City Carrie-column coded.

I offhand mentioned Walker Percy's _The Moviegoer_ in class last week as a novel "every young Southern man should struggle with". Per messages the last couple of days, it seems that multiple guys have purchased it & have started reading it.

@saintsoftness Truly nutty book. Can't wait for your full report. One last footnote? The copy on the right I bought at a short lived used bookstore in Conway, MA, 30 years ago. A former Masonic temple w. a huge bat colony in the attic. One day a dust rag on a book looked up & shrieked at me.

Thanks to a mutual whose screen name I now unhelpfully forget (please reply and tag yourself for credit!) I finally have the one weird-ass Robert Graves I haven’t read with a truly INSANE mass market cover that I obviously needed.

Gen X lore includes the time my future wife wrote in her diary that her friend Drew has post-it notes on his door counting down the dozens of pages of papers he's put off until finals. He's on his 3rd straight all-nighter, wandering the dorm halls in a blue terrycloth bathrobe.

Gen Z will never know the horror/euphoria of watching the sunrise over your college campus as you finish a thesis that will either turn out to be an A- masterpiece or a garbage essay that will make your professor write "What happened here?" (Yes, the latter happened)

@Sasha_Screens Book is excellent too. He adapted his own novel and I got him to sign a copy and the dvd. Remarkable movie.

thought this was incredible, but also unbearably sad, found myself in tears by the end, just sitting with it all. people stuck in loops, chasing hollow wins that barely matter, even to them. it’s inertia, effort without outcome, lives with nowhere to go. this is all there is.

“This is by no means only a loss for believers; the religious imagination is a vital part of a living culture. Ceding it—like so much of contemporary culture—to formula and cliché gradually but inexorably hollows us out.” Scialabba on Middlemarch @Plough plough.com/en/topics/life…
