Hey . . . are you out there? I hope so. If the answer is “yes” (and even if it’s “no”), fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy:

WILD AT HEART

. . . which is my favorite movie ever:

. . . is currently playing on Criterion Channel. Since like a hundred of you jokers mooch off my Criterion Channel account, I thought I’d let you know just in case you’ve somehow never seen it. Do yourself a favor and watch it! Or watch it again! It contains everything I love about movies in a single movie. Wow!

I can’t help it: I love a star-crossed lovers road trip movie, and this is the very best one.

Two summers ago I showed it to this Italian girl I knew, whom I had met on my half-birthday. We watched it in perfect silence, which is the only way to watch a movie. Afterwards we both teared up. She turned to me and said, “That’s the best thing I’ve ever seen in my life,” and I very nearly fell in love with her right then and there.

Anyway . . . CLICK HERE TO HAVE A ROCKIN GOOD TIME.

P.S. If for some reason you want to follow me on Letterboxd . . . well baby then aloha.

i miss you every day

I feel BLESSED to have witnessed this Crow Event in Nollendorfkiez on my way home from surgery this afternoon . . .

Ahh! My little sisters the crows. I love them~

But as in landlessness alone resides the highest truth, shoreless, indefinite as God—so, better is it to perish in that howling infinite, than be ingloriously dashed upon the lee . . .

It is two in the morning here in Berlin, and a Russian girl is asking me about limerence . . . I have told her I know all about it, have been on the receiving end of someone else’s limerence plenty of times in my life . . . and am now lying on my rug, and have been here for hours on account of I’m not sure what else to do with my life.

I am considering briefly yanking myself back into the vertical world so as to put on MAD MAX BEYOND THUNDERDOME for the second time this week. It is a sort of comfort movie for me and I can just chill with it. I remember years ago, when I’d go to McCune’s place, he’d often have it on in the background. I understand this now.

Whenever you bring up BEYOND THUNDERDOME, someone (often a shameless fool) will invariably say: “It’s good until the second half with the kids.” They’re dead wrong. The entire movie rules. There just ain’t a single bad MAD MAX movie. Sorry, everyone!

. . . I see a new WhatsApp notification, so I suppose this Russian girl (not to be confused with Anastasia, THE Russian Girl) has something new to add about the concept of limerence. And so for now I’ll get back to that. If anyone needs me, I’ll be here on the floor . . .
