If you celebrate it, I hope you’re having a happy Easter, wherever you are in the world!

It’s a lovely day here today and all I have to do today is sit in front of my laptop for unending HOURS and make the final revisions to the TV pilot script!!

Oh, and do laundry, and take care of 2-week-old semi-disabled kittens, and stare into space and wonder how this became my life...

OOPS! Not sure how that got in there…

Okay!

Last night, I finished watching “Days” by Tsai Ming-liang (2020).

The film is 2 hrs 7 mins and has no dialogue at all. And the genre (the genre of all of his films) is slow cinema. Meaning, minimalist with very long takes. (HUGE emphasis on “very long”.)

I’m not sure why I love his films so much, but I find them mesmerizing. And I love that the “plots” are entirely unpredictable.

Metrograph currently has one more film by Tsai Ming-liang, “Stray Dogs,” (2013) on their site. I’m planning to watch that one tonight. It sounds like it is going to be depressing, though, so I’m not sure how that’s going to go but we’ll see. His filmmaking style is so mesmerizing, that it will likely win out over the depressing plot.

I just want to mention one thing more about my favorite 94-year-old Japanese client — when I was with him yesterday, he remembered EVERYTHING from our trip to have lunch in the restaurant at the golf course on Good Friday!!

This is astounding, gang, since he has very little short-term memory left. Just incredible. He remembered it all. If you’re a long-time reader of this lofty blog, you’ll recall that I’ve been planning this trip for months now — I was just waiting for the perfect weather and for everything to turn green. I knew he would enjoy it, but I was not prepared for just how much it would affect him. (And, subsequently, how that affected me.)

Okay. I only have one photo from Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds’ show in Detroit last night. Not because there weren’t a ton of great photos and videos to choose from, but because I love how his hair looks here!!!!!

They will be in Washington DC on Monday. You can buy tickets here.

All right. Well. I have a ton of work to get to on the script, so I’m gonna go downstairs and check on the progress with the laundry, then get started.

Enjoy your Easter, if you celebrate it, otherwise, just have a great Sunday, gang.

Thanks for visiting.

I love you guys. See ya!

I leave you with this!

Originally from 1967, a short film made by Peter Whitehead for the Rolling Stones’ song, “We Love You,” centered around the infamous drug bust at Keith’s home, Redlands, and then Brian’s bust later that year. (remastered in 2021). Enjoy, gang.
