Another beautiful day, another complication

First I was reading about the new film of The Master and Margarita, then I was reading about the death of Alexei Navalny. Manuscripts don't burn.

OK, that’s some serious meta.

I really want to see it. At least it isn't following its source material so closely as to have been suppressed for thirty years.

Also, does August Diehl look a little like Conrad Veidt?

Not closely to me, but under the eyes and at the angles of his cheekbones, I can see it. (Veidt, of course, would have made a marvelous Woland.)

I’m a little surprised it wasn’t; but in the era of bit-torrents, it’s probably harder to do that. Shared files don’t burn, either.

I still picture David Bowie.
