Recommend Alan Ralph’s blog for Micro Monday. Great insights.
If you pause in the middle of a thought, people will try to fill that moment with themselves.
🍿 I saw #DolomiteIsMyName this weekend and I really enjoyed it. Eddie Murphy is great in it, but can we all agree that Wesley Snipes is a complete assassin? Super fun performance.
Did not finished reading: Building a Character by Contantin Stanislavski. Was leant this book by a friend to prepare for a play. It’s all anecdotes about how Stanislavski learned different techniques while a student. Fascinating. Weird. Useful? A trip. Gave up after 196 days and 152 pages.
Didn’t finish reading: The Actors Guide to Self Marketing by Carla Renata. Gave up after 73 pages and 17 days. Instantly depressing.
🍿 I just saw Spartacus for the first time. Amazing to think that the same director is responsible for Spartacus, 2001, Dr Strangelove, Clockwork Orange, The Shining, Full Metal Jacket, and Cheaper by the Dozen 2.

Finished reading Be Cool
Finished reading: Be Cool by Elmore Leonard. It took me 18 days. While the prose is energetic and engaging, I kept finding myself not giving a shit about what happens next. A lot of boomer fantasies … Read more

I just saw North by Northwest for the first time. We watched most of the movie two nights ago, then finished it the next day, making the ending even more abrupt. 🍿

🍿 I saw On The Waterfront for the first time the other day. Spoiler alert: it’s good. Also, set in Hoboken! Still, I was surprised how much of the plot revolved around re-routed PATH trains.
