I think Spring is beginning to think about considering possibly coming somewhere near Rhode Island. Highs in the high 40s Fahrenheit. We may have 60s by late April.

Yesterday was a bloody nightmare of double-barreled line editing. No, no, no. That almost makes it sound fun, and it was at that other end of the spectrum from fun. Spooky and Sonya

I hope Sonya enjoys Dark City

I think she will, especially considering it's not the studio-mutilated theatrical release.

You haven't shown me a film I've hated yet.

Yet, still I fear it.

I think Pitch Black is one of the most underrated sci-fi films ever.

I am inclined to agree. Wayne Barlowe's creature designs are amazing (as always), and the crash sequence is utterly breathtaking. It's all a grand fuck-you to "mundane" sf.

The creatures are really amazing. And the idea of a moon coming so close was just great.

I've come to Jarman's films quite late; Wittgenstein's superb, shall have to watch Tempest. I read his prose first. I'd recommend Chroma; and a book whose name I can't recall (I'm sure Sonya will) about Jarman setting up a garden in the shadow of a coastal nuclear power plant. Excellent books, both.

Aunt Beast - how d'you rate Prospero's Books?

People *still* call you a horror writer?

I will ask her.

Peter Greenaway is one of my favorite directors. That said, I saw Prospero's Books in 1992, pan and scan on a bootlegged videotape. I loved what I saw, but I definitely need to see it again, unmutilated.

People *still* call you a horror writer?

Hell yeah.

I'd recommend Chroma;

Awesome. That one's next on my list as it is, especially after seeing Wittgenstein and reading the philosopher's own Remarks on Colour.

Modern Nature (1991).

Pitch Black is ace, but Dark City is even better. Have a good night!

Dark City is one of the most criminally underrated films of the past twenty years.

Thanks, both!

I gave your email to a very good friend of mine in Quebec who speaks fluent French and English. Hope that's okay. I think he'd be more than happy to help and get some acknowledgment.

Thank you, Blair!
