surreal experience driving around Los Angeles on the 4th: it's like a minefield, fireworks blowing up all around you (sometimes right next to you), sounds like the city is under siege and the horizon at dusk makes you feel like you're in an '80s crime thriller

when I was doing research for a piece I wrote on Klute back in 2016, I found this old interview from a '72 issue of Sight & Sound where Pakula discusses Jane Fonda's transcendent scenes with her character Bree's psychiatrist. I still think about this sometimes

this rules, you should just put him up over their stuff. also really love how Macdonald can't help but look like a private eye - this might be my favorite author photo ever

that's actually a different MacDonald! Ross wrote Lew Archer, John D. wrote Travis McGee - but he's also great. The Deep Blue Good-by is one of my all-time favorite books

Lew Archer is one of my favorite detectives, a little bit more compassionate than most hardboiled PIs, can't really recommend these books enough. Macdonald's work evolves quite a bit, too - he gets better and more interesting.

what I've learned from my first real vacation as an adult: reading Ross Macdonald on a dark beach at 1am with the sound of the surf in the background is a pretty much perfect Los Angeles noir experience

yeah they're so interesting, I had so many notes about different Seven Sisters stories but at a certain point I was like 'this is a bit much.' and thank you - that's super kind of you! (love seeing "approachability" esp. because I really try to keep my writing accessible)

FWIW I enjoyed seeing Furiosa on the big screen. It didn't really measure up to Fury Road, but few movies can.

Neil... thank you. I think Thunderdome is unfairly maligned! I just revisited it myself for the first time since Fury Road came out and I think it rules. has a lot of Fury Road's DNA in it, too. the Jarre score is great, but I agree it doesn't quite fit the movie.
