We got inspired here again, after much despair. The upcoming Broadway musical Galileo. ANDREW was witness [KITTY wasn’t born then] to the birth at 35th Powerhouse Season's Summer Readings Festival, June 29, 2019. The great gut-wrenching Raúl Esparza almost reduced to swaddling clothes, at least emotionally. Never boring! Smart, throttling score. Memorable songs. Directed by Tony Award winner Michael Mayer. Let us all hope it survives in the ever more brutal Broadway economics.
Outre litter thought: what if Taylor Swift ‘lent’ her cat Olivia Benson to selected performances. Raúl not unaccustomed to feline, “Hustling and fighting, scratching and biting”.
This seems an appropriate segue !!!!
Isabelle Huppert’s inspiring acceptance speech at TIFF. Encounters. Sometimes one’s life thus. Not a career. Better all for that. Isabelle in The Glass Menagerie [live streamed November 27, 2021] Theaters and COVID still problematic. Extraordinary. Her courage under fire. Faith in theatrical form Not so much luck or faith: seek and ye shall find. It was NYT critic A.O. Scott once wrote: ‘if you only have an audience of one plus yourself then it was worth it’. No ego, no self-delusion. BELIEF. Huge difference. Belief. Huge differences. I’m half-way though Alexandre Koberidze’s Dry Leaf. Seemingly no character development whatsoever. Character is the lens. His case his 2008 childhood cellphone Sony Ericsson W595. A 3.2-megapixel sensor, low 15 frames-per-second capture rate. You start seeing the world anew. We love great cinematographers. Only good as their eyes. Belief in sight. In seeing. Start degrading the image, world looking even more extraordinary. We still alive! “Somebody hold me too close…”

Oh, Bill Meowaher: think you won some kinda Truman Capote award for this ep! [watch in full on HBO] Every word is true…Oh geez: the ‘dog’ wants another walk. Ryan Murphy series Monster, still not satisfied. Oh wait: what about those really nasty folk down the street…Halloween/ Christmas soon. Yum-So many possibilities….we’re talkin’ paint folks!
speaking of circles…. Circles of Deceit
You know something deeply is wrong when one starts linking to oneself. Even if an audience of one Raúl Esparza. Wahn! Wahn! Scroll down. Not exactly Keith Jarrett but hey who is?! He can’t sing though…;) My way of writing musicals is over. [Alan Jay Lerner after hearing Sondheim’s Company]. That’s a great Young Chang upright piano Andrew is playing. Everyone. [One crazy take btw.] Up for sale now! Rise!
Still seeking in-sight? Cinematographer (2020) -Donald M. Morgan [not the A. Morgan]. Just goes show we don’t need no film school to become a great part of the movie business. Curiosity. Terrence Malick's masterpiece Days of Heaven (1978), though Néstor Almendros did go to film school in Rome, he knew simply use natural light. The crew said that opening would never work without lighting gear. Almendros won the 1979 Academy Award for Best Cinematography. Woof!
Speaking of no education…don’t need to finish this paragraph…!!!!
Where are [we] going? And what will I find?…what a world: liberating, decaying, debilitating…yet sublime.
‘We’ we would like to think: if only born now, could change the world! Yet are the regimens of life any different to 30/40/50 years ago? Really, think so? Talent has poured out of every pore of every person of every country. Only now: it’s palpable. See with our own eyes. Our ears. There’s Bruce Springsteen and there’s Bad Bunny. And these weird dudes, the middle of nowhere, [sorry, somewhere;) making it to BBC Radio! Surely, our world to celebrate, well as our despair.
I gotta live, I gotta get out, get out and go!
Such suffering, such beauty, such love.
Problems ‘getting out and go’? Subscribe to streaming whilst suffering: watch shit loads of creatives earning $$$ when you have none. And your way better ideas that’ll change the world. Ah, ha? Netflix has a new season of The Diplomat and NoBody Wants This- a monthly spend for a couple of overpriced frappelatteubercuccinos! Capitalism wins, how ca=n that be?! ;) (:
The Diplomat: That Season 4 finale totally requires a Season %! Or has real life utterly o’taken fiction! Where are [we] going and what will [we] find???? Season 5 1/2 just doesn’t sound 6 1/2 Fellini! Go on. Let’s do it! Just keepin’ it real! Hey: who wants to binge the news!
And: ANDREW and KITTY GO MELTDOWN MEOWOW!! NGA TBA…MOO! [The Creature Channel]
Isn’t that an Emmy award winning dystopian travel show? [PG for kittens and puppies -6months. Don’t want disillusionment for a world yet discovered!] There's always Eugene Levy and that comfy travel sofa. Grrr…
no AI- just a cat imagining 9 lives. The/A someone she loves. Forever.
Does anyone remember- well don’t exactly remember whence a few years ago, dancing in the dark seeking light from a ‘Johnny’ box set;) Norma Butignol brought her "talking" parakeet named Pluming on the show. Wasn’t it Shakespeare who spake, discombobulated: never work with animals and children?!
What Sesame Street didn’t show me! OK, Shakespeare’s listening.

That poor witch and her cat! How could you requisition their broomstick Bill Maher on Halloween?!! Traffic’s horrendous in LA best of times but your girlfriend better be having Rosemary’s Baby or you are ‘black toast’ forever amongst the coven! Never seen Bicycle Thieves? We know you haven’t ‘cause we watch Club Random!
Back to ‘cash cow’ reality and Netflix-well, not unfair cows have one digestive system divided into four compartments. Maria Bamford a kinda forgotten comedian now [though not amongst peers!] who bravely sculpted comedic stuff through life struggles. Problem/question: has anything really changed? Compartmentalized/monetized. Win, win. Otherwise, you are just the problem medicated to be. Still true. DON’T deny it.
Our days growing shorter, our minds yearn linger reality stealing…no, not that..binge The Man in The High Castle. Rufus Sewell, arguably still playing the same role as in The Diplomat. Seems such a nice guy. Reality! What actor, yet, wants act himself:) Why not a Rabbi? !
Leopards can’t change their spots. Sad story.
Hear you’re filming nearby my enclosure Emma S. We like the night:) Right?! But servils more rodent-ville. Look kinda ‘OK’ on the cat walk but really? - Somehow can’t see you… nor me..Though ‘Yorgos’..;.;..Is that a new ‘take’ on The Leopard? ! Hmmm-mmeow…adaptive species…
Your cinematographer is who !!!!!!! WFT PHO! Sayombhu Mukdeeprom! So near yet so near so…They haven't a clue what we are talking about- even in translation!
