Oxford pals: see you @squarebooks tonight! Excited to celebrate @lee3durkee’s incredible book.

Mardi Gras viewing: Edgar G. Ulmer’s HER SISTER’S SECRET.

Can you imagine POINT BREAK-era Bigelow directing Sinéad O’Connor in a Joan of Arc movie? I’ve never wanted anything more, and now I’m sad to know it was even a possibility.

Bedtime reading with Eamon. One of the greatest masterpieces ever.

Double feature today: LUCKY STAR (Borzage, 1929) STRANGE ILLUSION (Ulmer, 1945)

Janet Gaynor in Frank Borzage’s LUCKY STAR.

Last 4. Borzage, Cohen, Losey, Ulmer... A great run.

From Joseph Losey’s ACCIDENT. Photographed off my TV.

Repost from Aislinn Clark: “These haunting medium format slides with images of an unknown woman walking into the sea were found in a Virginia thrift store by photographer Meagan Abell in 2015.”

One of my favorite first time viewings of the year so far: Edgar G. Ulmer’s ST. BENNY THE DIP from ‘51. On Prime & YouTube. BENNY: I once read somewhere that a heathen is only a guy trying to sneak into church the back way. MONK: Too mythological for me.

The noir volume of byNWR.com, which I guest edited, is coming soon...

Now reading. So damn great.

Happy birthday to my pal @BigLeeMarvinFan. Feel lucky as hell that our paths crossed. I’m celebrating by rewatching FROM THE HEAD. You should do that, too. (It’s on Tubi & available on Blu-ray.)

Really excited to get copies of the Italian edition of GRAVESEND in the mail today. Truly beautiful. Thanks to Luca Briasco, Raffaella Vitangeli, and everyone @minimumfax.

“A flash. A mere blink of an eye. The paroxysms of a hummingbird’s dying heart. That is all that we have.”
