I saw MARTY SUPREME today, which is pretty good for a movie that starts out the same way as LOOK WHO'S TALKING.

I kind of forgot that I submitted my supermarket novel to a bunch of small presses last year, so these fresh rejections were a fun surprise.

A full third of this Malcolm Cowley biography is about people other than Malcolm Cowley, which I think is appropriate for a biography of Malcolm Cowley.

Silverblatt’s laconic style, even in that heyday of voluminous literary interview opportunities, seemed to belong to another century. He required, and rewarded, patience.

In my last two days at a job, no pressure, could stand up and walk out whenever I want. Feels almost like I'm doing them a favor being here and working. I'll never be this happy again.

As a going-away gift, a paralegal bought me a copy of FIRE WALK WITH ME, specifically because I told him I was always too scared to watch it. Probably still won't watch it, but a thoughtful gift anyway.

Still not over people on here thinking that Isaac Chotiner caught the octogenarian cinematographer, famed for making things glow real nice on film, in some web of deceit.

I have a theory that some movies are little gifts that directors make to their longtime cinematographers. If so, THE AGE OF INNOCENCE was Scorsese’s gift to Ballhaus.
