Finished watching a movie I'd started, finished another one after that, and then watched as much as I could stomach of a 1972 film that I don't think ever actually played Los Angeles - I can find only one mention of it and that was at the Cannes festival in May of that year. Also checked 1973. Anyway, directed by Elia Kazan and what a sad last film it was. Shot in Super 16 and blown up, watching it you'd have thought Kazan had never been behind a camera before. It's worse than a first-time. The script is horrible, and there's no score. Yes, low budget - $100,000 - but there have been several great films made for that amount of money.

Wish we were all there together.

I had electroshock acupuncture, cupping and an intense massage today. And it seems to have helped. There were times today when I realized I was not in pain. I hope this is pointing in the right direction.

Now I'm listening to musique from France.

The power just went off.

I was thinking of having some electroshock therapy or a lobotomy. What do you think?

John G. · « **Reply #281 on:** June 02, 2023, 10:18:18 PM »

And now it’s back on.

In about twenty minutes I guess I'll write some damn notes.

Oh, forgot that Kazan did one more film - and it wasn't terrible - not great - but not bad - The Last Tycoon.

John G. · « **Reply #287 on:** June 02, 2023, 10:26:33 PM »

Let’s try this again. Good night, all.

I think The Visitors played one week in NY and that was that.

DR Iris · « **Reply #289 on:** June 02, 2023, 10:31:04 PM »

DR John G., I am pleased to hear that your treatments seem to be alleviating the pain.
I also hope that things are pointing in the right direction.
Sending many pain-free vibes.

Kazan called it a home movie and that's what it looks like. I think he's proud of that - he shouldn't be. It was the film debut of James Woods and Steve Railsback. It's based on a story that appeared in New Yorker - same story was later used as a basis for Brian De Palma's Casualties of War.

Good night and sweet dreams, HHW.

I reiterate just how good the Trousdale was today.

Truly Trousdale.

And now, I shall be all alone until hopefully George appears to give us the both the high-up and the lowdown of this evening. We await.

I was kind of yearning for a sweet earlier but I was strong.

bk · « **Reply #297 on:** June 02, 2023, 10:34:58 PM »

I was mighty.

bk · « **Reply #298 on:** June 02, 2023, 10:35:04 PM »

I held firm.

bk · « **Reply #299 on:** June 02, 2023, 10:35:12 PM »

And then firm held me.
