==Belated thank you== 
 Hi hi hi Mr Deltoid er I mean WickerGuy. I hope that you are well. My belated thanks for the YouTube link. It was a hoot. Oscar Wilde said, about portrait painting, that looking at a given painting would tell you more about the artist than the subject. This can definitely be applied to (over)interpretations of SK's film. I am as susceptible to it as anyone. Doing it with a sense of humor is the way to go. Was Kubrick's secretary names Lincoln or Kennedy? I forget.  

 On a different note I had a remarkable film experience tonight. I recently picked up the Criterion Collection (Barnes and Noble has a 50% of sale on their titles occasionally and it is one of the best times to buy on the planet!) "Eclipse Series" of Sacha Guitry films . To be honest I had never heard of him before. Well I watched The Story of a Cheat with my jaw on the floor for most of the time. It was as fun a film viewing experience as I have had in a long long time. This man was breaking the rules of film storytelling five years before Citizen Kane. I don't want to go into detail so that I don't give anything away should you be interested in searching it out. As ever, it may not be as enjoyable viewing for you as it was for me but I am certainly glad that I stumbled upon it and I wanted you to be aware of it.  

 The summer heat is only just letting up here but, as we often say, at least it isn't humid. Cheers.  |
