Then, I watched the entirety of WOMAN IN THE DUNES. It's a long movie at almost 2 1/2 hours, and there isn't one boring moment in the entire film. Haunting, mesmerizing in its direction and performances (especially Eiji Okada as the desperate man), superb photography, and despite a mono soundtrack, one of the most evocative mixes of music and sound ever. Really a phenomenal movie.

I am proofreading my PowerPoint for tomorrow.

I live a pleasantly unexciting life.

There's another video essay on the Criterion disc by James Quandt, but I'll have to watch it tomorrow. There was no time this evening.

Tomorrow, I'll have another Teshigahara film in the set to watch: THE FACE OF ANOTHER which I've never seen (but the description sounded a little like SECONDS).

I should also be able to finish the three remaining ACTION episodes and I'll probably watch LAND OF THE PHAROAHS tomorrow, too.

Matt - When you say "I don't understand why we can't be satisfied with what we have instead of always wanting something else. Seems like a waste of energy to me," I assume you're just having fun, right?  I know it sounds silly to want more postings for their own sake, but it's fun to shoot for records, isn't it, be they monthly or daily.  And of course, wanting something else is what makes for progress as a general matter, both in terms of personal accomplishment and making our small mark on the world we live in, be it moving other people by a performance in a local theater or leaving behind an artsitic work that could be done after you're gone or having  arelationship or whatever.

Perhaps you were kidding around.  If so, never mind.

No, I wasn't kidding. Numbers for numbers sake makes no sense to me. I'd rather have ten posts of quality than a hundred one word or one sentence posts here just for the sake of adding numbers for a total. I understand that people have milestones of posting numbers they shoot for individually, but to complain about having 200 posts instead of 600 posts just for the sake of an arbitrary number doesn't compute for me.

I don't mean to spoil anyone's good times in having fun with posting. But I still come here to read about people's days, their activities, their lives, and if we get only 200 posts for a specific day, I just don't see the problem.

Oh, so I guess that's not a general philosophy, just about posting numbers.

But may we celebrate at least a little when you reach post 26000, only 30 posts away? :)

And now, I've got a bit of writing to do and will then head downstairs to bed.

Good night!

You may if you wish. To be honest, I don't look at my or anyone's totals until someone makes a point of mentioning it. It just never occurs to me.

I actually wonder what else a discussion board could be measured by in terms of "tangible" measures of popularity and participation besides number of posts or page views.  But yesterday and today, being with people I never would have met but for HHW, was a lovely intangible measure.

What a swell party this was! First, a wonderful fete chez Skip and Fred which was a delightful melange of wonderful food, interesting company, and sparkling conversation.  A dinner invitation to West 43rd Street is something to be longed for.  The hosts are never thanked enough for their efforts, so thank you, DR FJL and Skip. You are the salt of the earth, two of the best.

Then, off to CURTAINS, which is vastly improved since the third preview DR Jose and I caught with DR Cillaliz.  Jason Daniely was out so we saw everyone but him in the original cast.  Matt Farnsworth played Jason's role and was quite good.  After the show, I took DRS Ginny, MBarnum, Jose, Jason, and DH Richard backstage to meet the wonderful Karen Ziemba.  We also saw my friends Noah Racey and John Bolton.  All in all, a wonderful evening out.

I wonder if BK had his spoon in this pot:



I just finished watching the the movie in HD on Comcast on Demand - a beautiful film with a simply gorgeous Goldsmith score. I could watch Sean Connery and Lorraine Bracco swing through the Amazon treetops to Goldsmith's "TREES" for hours.
