Tonight’s viewing: #SecretMallApartment (Workman, 2024) a fascinating documentary that raises questions about gentrification, the notion of art and it value as a form of expression in connection with a collective of artists who lived inside of a mall in a secret space. #filmsky

Finished S2 of #AThousandBlows which was so great. The inclusion of an American angle, mesmerism, along with continued exploration of British colonialism and class via boxing and criminal underworld with emotional depth is so fantastic.

Today’s viewing: #TheOscars (Rouse, 1966) an over the top campy look at Hollywood, stardom, and Oscar voting and campaigning. An interesting film that marks the departure from classical Hollywood and the beginning of New Hollywood. #filmsky

11th: Shadow Ticket Pynchon’s latest and perhaps last novel is a anarchic, hilarious, jazzy take on the hard boiled novel filled with witty songs and dialogue. Set in 1932 the plot concerns a PI searching for a runaway cheese heiress and along the way he runs into spies and Nazis. #booksky

I have now watched a good chunk of his work in films from Ringo Lam, John Woo, Tsui Hark and more. He was clearly a star and his magnetic presence matched with the grace of his movements plus ability to play action, comedy, hero and tortured bad guys are unmatched by any actor of the 80s/90s. 2.2

The range and charisma of Chow Yun-Fat in Hong Kong films of the 80s and 90s is incredible. He had all the makings of a global movie star but unfortunately was overshadowed by Hollywood stars like Tom Cruise. 1/2

I’ve added the script for Wake Up Dead Man to my site. This is the final shooting script, so it has stuff that was cut and moved around, which I always think is more interesting to see than a conformed cleaned up version. Enjoy! www.rian-johnson.com/screenplays

8th: China’s World View from Chinese economist Li is a book worth reading to get some insight into Chinese economic policy and foreign policy as well as a better understanding of domestic policy. Readers should be skeptical as Li does seem to get lost in the propaganda. #booksky
