Took two months but first in my bloodline to finish the first volume of In Search of Lost Time. Swann in Love is the best part of the first volume in its evocation of destructive love and the inevitable ending of that love forming into disdain and entitlement. Highly recommend.

Watched Blow Out (1981) in a theater last night. Sonically disquieting at times which I loved, but I also find it De Palma's most fascinating take on how society views women, especially sex workers, and to make a film that has us emphasize with them is radical in the 80s when Reagan was just elected

Spent hours packing up and moving my extensive book and movie collection for my move out day Monday but the promise of seeing Harold and Maude in the theaters tonight with my best friends makes the sore muscles all worth it.

Watched the last third of Bridge On the River Kwai last night and now I’m distracting my intrusive thoughts by singing the lyrics to Colonel Bogey March that was added in WWII entitled “Hitler has only got one ball”.

Realizing the academy award ceremony where Vanessa Redgrave won best supporting actress and denounced Zionism was the same year Star Wars was nominated for best picture. She knew the award ceremony was going to have a huge viewership that year and took advantage of it. Queen shit
