1. This post somewhat delayed by the fact that [info]lesser_celery showed me Tetsuo: The Iron Man (1989), which is probably going to need its own writeup.
Judging by your remarks, I'm looking forward to your post on this.
2. I dreamed last night of trains and apocalyptic landscapes. One of them was New Haven, which surprised me only insofar as it looked like Hartford.
Interesting combination. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one whose dreams do that thing where it's supposed to be one place but has the look of another.
I had a dream last week where I knew I was in Cork City, but it looked like a cross between London and downtown Chicago. A hotel clerk and I made local injokes with each other, which in the dream I obviously knew, but which had no more relationship to the city where I once lived in waking life than the strange cityscape outside had to that city.
...my years-belated thoughts on FairyTale: A True Story (1997)...
I like your thoughts. I'm trying to remember if that's the film I saw a couple of years after it came out, or if it was the other Cottingley Fairies-based film that came out round the same time.
4. When Craig Arnold disappeared three years ago on Kuchinoerabujima, I hoped that someone who knew and loved him would write him a poem. His lover has written him a book.
I'm glad of this. I'm getting a 403 from the first link. The excerpt at Beatrice.com is lovely.
Thanks for sharing the Wondermark! The Lindsay Kemp interview is tremendous as well.
