Some thoughts on returning from Defiance (2008):

1. What idiot let Liev Schreiber get away without an Oscar nomination?

2. I felt there should be a koan for the Bielski Otriad: if two Jews have a philosophical argument in the middle of a forest, when is the third going to pitch in (and is he going to punch someone)? This is not a complaint. A Holocaust film without hagiography is one that works for me.

3. Now that we've proved that general audiences will watch a film with Jewish partisans, who can we get to adapt A Verse from Babylon, please?

I wish I could play my formerly purchased music from iTunes. "Yisrolik" and "Shtil di nakht" are both locked. strange_selkie?

You are lucky, re music : N's laptop files, which included MY laptop files from a year ago, are resurrected as of yesterday afternoon.

I would really love someone to adapt my little book. I found new pictures online -- from the Kuvik archive? Which did not exist in the early 2000s -- and I'm semi-excited about their provenance.

I've debated, though, giving the film of my book a modern soundtrack in addition to the songs that get sung in the course of making theatre, because creative people are never living in a way that wants time to stand still.

Oh, cool. What are they?

Yes. What kind of modern?
