more notes (The Gorgon edition)

Because I have some downtime here in the office and you know I like to ramble.  

1) Deadline just reported that Tarantino has dropped The Movie Critic as his final film and he won't be doing it now.  That's too bad as I thought the story sounded like an interesting change of style for him.  My feelings on his films have fluctuated over the years and I find myself enjoying his work now more than I did in the past.  Perhaps this is an unpopular opinion, but I now think that Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is his best film.  Yes, even better than the amazing Pulp Fiction.  The dialogue in Hollywood is just soooo damn good. I love those characters.  

2) I am thrilled to hear that one of my best friends is moving back to Korea this summer along with his wife.  Homeboy and I are very close (we met 20 years ago my first week in this country) and I can't wait to see him again.  We talk every week and this has been a great new development.  

3) The other day at my daughter's house I put on a classic Hammer horror film from 1964: The Gorgon.  I love that Youtube has so many films and my premium service is one of the few I own which I have no qualms paying for.  The Gorgon is just classic Peter Cushing/Christopher Lee fare and I love it for its haunted house atmosphere.
