Watching the Puffy doc because I'm here for long-held grudges against sexual abusers. Also, in the 90s I worked for a good guy (who repped Sonic Youth) at an evil NYC law firm, and the big new hire was a pompous lawyer who repped Puffy, who I saw in the office. Bad vibes - I had no idea how bad.

Boy howdy the birds DID find the feeders. Pretty soon I'll figure out what they are and maybe even get photos.
Today I got a couple of birdfeeders and some birdseed and I hope the local bird population notices it soon and stops by.
I forgot to get dried mealworms for my roadrunner friend. Next time.

I don't want to predict what's going to happen in this film I just started watching, but I think if Willem Defoe knocks on your door and asks to rent your basement, you should probably say no.

This weekend I watched the DVD extras of Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are dead. I don’t know who did the interviews, but it was someone who knew Tom Stoppard, so he was relaxed and candid. I think it was recorded around 2004? Totally great if you can find it.

One small thing to love about King of Comedy (1983) is that the least cool person in NYC, Rupert Pupkin, is dressed as the future Guy Fieri.

I watched Fitzcarraldo for the first time last night. Buster Kitten did too. I hope his forming brain took away from it, look at the beauty/futility/necessity/labor/destruction of art, rather than, be like that wild-haired madman.
